Salaris provides a set of standard payroll reports to help you review payroll activity, manage cash flow, and stay compliant with tax and regulatory requirements.
Most reports can be run from the main Reports page within Salaris. Some reports can also be accessed directly from a Payroll on the Payroll history page. All reports download data directly onto your computer in a CSV file.
