Workers Comp Summary Report

I ran a Workers Comp Summary report for our policy year that began in 2014.  During the policy year, we had one (1) project outside of our home state.  On the WC report, it included gross wages for that state but they were significantly different from the labor on that one project.  I conditioned the job cost report using the policy dates as the Accounting Dates and a catergory for Labor.  I checked the job setup and it has the correct state but no Workers Comp group is checked.  Keep in mind I am new to this company and this was all prior to my joining the company.

What would cause these amounts to differ?

  • , it sounds like you are asking a question specific to your software--what are you using (Abra Suite or Sage HRMS, maybe)?  And what version?

    Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, version 13.1

    I thought this might be a generic question but will move this post to the Sage 300 CRE Support Group since you are referring to how do this in specific software.

    Thanks,

    Hi Commish43!

    Great question! The WC Summary report pulls information based on the WC State that is coded to the time entries. You can view the WC State by going to your Payroll Inquiry menu and selecting Check Information, Check Time, Current File. Add a condition (Typically the blue funnel button at the top) for the Job.

    Next click on the column header for any column, select Insert Column, and select WC State.

    It sounds like the WC State was not following the job - this can happen when the WC State is specified on the employee record in Setup, Employees, Entry Into tab.

    For more information on the WC State retrieval process when entering payroll time, login to http://support.na.sage.com (enter your email and password) and see article 36406 "How are the WC State and WC Code retrieved during time entry in Payroll?"

    I hope this helps!

  • The Gross Wages for the Work Comp Summary come from PR Time so maybe if you print a Time Sheet report (PR - Reports - Pay Period Processing - Time Sheet) and condition it for the policy period and to exclude your home state you will find your answer.   Maybe there was another job coded with the wrong state?
