What information is included in the Sage 100 Payroll Perpetual History report

The Perpetual History Report lists payroll check detail retained by employee and check number. This report includes detailed earnings and deduction code information and can be retained indefinitely.

The report can be printed for all employees or for the following:

• a selected range of employees
• by check date or a specific range of check dates
• by a specific pay period ending date or a range of pay period ending dates.

The report is sorted and subtotaled by employee number and department and can be produced in a summary or detail format. In addition, this report can be printed with a page break by employee or department.

Important Note: This report is available only if the ‘Retain Perpetual Payroll History’ check box is selected in the Payroll Options (under Payroll, Setup menu).  If this option is unchecked when payroll data entry is updated, the check details will not update to the perpetual history files for that particular check register update.
