What is a Payroll Liability Balance Report?

- For example, if the report applies from January 1 to October 31 of a given year, it will include an investigation into the liability for the period ending October 31. Although this check date is November 15th. However, Include a January 15 liability check written for liability for the period ending December 31 of the previous year.

- Summary of Employee Year-to-Year (YTD) for the reporting date.
- Summary of prepayment for obligations ending within the reporting date. The Payroll Liability Balance Report shows the amount in the Pay Liability window when the date of the report is equal to the date in the Pay Liability window.
