Spectrum: Payroll History
Find definitions of the fields and measures included in the Spectrum: Payroll History dataset organized by folder.
The Spectrum: Payroll History dataset provides a consolidated source of payroll information. This dataset is intended for the Payroll Manager and the Controller.
- All Year-to-Date (YTD) measures require a time-period on the report, otherwise the YTD calculation will not occur. The YTD measure will report 0.00 when no time-period has been defined. Adding at least one level from the Check Date Group or the Work Date Group will resolve this.
- Also, note that YTD measures will include all records up to the time period selected. When a filter is created using a specific date, the year-to-date measure will include all records from January 1st up to that date.
- When a specific date is desired, use the non-YTD measure instead. YTD measures on a report with both a Check and Work time period will result in filtering errors. Again, use non-YTD measures, or avoid filtering on check or work time.
