Important Notes
All data in the exported report reflects the cycle status at the time of export.
Including previous month’s values provides better visibility of month-to-month changes across compensation and contract items.
While it is possible to download a report, update specific values, and re-import it for payroll change reporting, certain pay items— such as expenses and days off — cannot be re-imported.
