TRACK CHANGES IN PAYROLL WITH AUDIT TRAILS

 

Sometimes changes to employee cards result in questions about why your payroll numbers don't balance or appear incorrect. Make your job easier and save time with a free GP tool. The Audit Trails tool can create an Excel spreadsheet that lists what changed, who changed it, and when it was changed. You'll see what happened in the employee master, tax information master, pay code master, deductions, benefits, tax setup, and direct deposit setup.

Here's a YouTube video that illustrates how this tool works. Please contact us if you have any questions about Audit Trails.
