Payroll Journal

The Payroll Journal provides you with an audit trail of all information processed while posting payroll. The primary purpose of this journal is to provide employee-level detail of the payroll postings and certain W-2 quarter-to-date and year-to-date figures.

The Payroll Journal is similar for regular, adjustment, and bonus runs. However, the Payroll Journal for bonuses does not include information about employee hours.

You control whether or not Social Security numbers display on the Payroll Journal and draft Payroll Journal with the Print Social Security number on journals and direct deposit reports/files option on the General tab of the Payroll Setup form in Settings > Payroll > General, in the desktop application.
