Overview

The Payslips screen provides a detailed overview of wages, bonus/supplemental pay, earnings, deductions, and taxes for the most recent pay period. The information is broken down into different sections for easy navigation and understanding.

Payslips in Construct ESS

Getting Started

Before granting Construct ESS access to users, you will need to make sure that paystubs are visible in the app for the employees.

On the desktop, navigate to the Pay Periods screen in the Payroll module and check the 'Show Stub on ESS' checkbox, as shown in the screenshot below for the company, pay run and year you would like to give access to your employees.

The paystub appears on the application based on the pay date of the check. For example, if the weekly period two starts on 3rd Jan 2021 and ends on 9th Jan 2021 with pay date setup 12th Jan 2021 in below company Pay Periods screen, the stub will be available on 12th Jan 2021 and onwards.

NOTE: If the flag is not checked for any of the payroll years, the app or desktop will not display any data in the Paystub module.

Pgm: PYPAYPRD – Pay Periods; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Company > Pay Periods

Checking this box allows employees to view paystubs in both Construct ESS as well as the desktop ESS version.

Using Pie Charts
