Summary

The Workers' Compensation Report window is used to generate two different reports: the Workers' Compensation Tax Report and the Workers' Compensation Insurance Report. Only committed paychecks will be included on the reports.

The Workers' Compensation Insurance Report displays the subject wages, overtime excess, base amount, adjusted base and adjusted premium of either Disability 1 or Disability 2 (the title of these fields is user-defined). This report can be printed in summary or detail format. The detail format displays everything on the summary report, but it includes employee level detail.
