1. What It Is
The Payroll Summary in MaidCentral provides a detailed breakdown of hours worked, pay calculations, and compensation details for each employee over a selected time period. Each column tracks a specific input or output that contributes to accurate payroll reporting.
This guide defines the most commonly referenced columns at the beginning of the Payroll Summary view. Keep in mind, every column includes an “i” icon with in-app definitions, and some less-used columns (e.g., Vacation/Sick/Holiday Pay) are self-explanatory and not covered in detail here.
2. Why It Matters
Understanding these columns helps you:
Audit payroll data quickly and confidently
Spot inconsistencies in hours or pay
Verify bonus and supplemental wages
Ensure fair and accurate technician compensation
Maintain compliance and prepare for financial reporting or tax audits
By knowing exactly what each field represents, you’ll have better visibility into your labor costs and payroll performance.
