Report Writer

Your own reports in three steps.

  • Build a report in three steps

    Choose a data source and date range, tick the fields you want, and optionally add filters — then run it.

  • Payroll, attendance and employee data

    Report on payroll runs (earnings, deductions, NIS, PAYE, Health Surcharge, net), attendance records (hours by type, lateness, absences) and employee details, including years of service and net pay per hour.

  • Visual filters

    Combine conditions with And/Or, for example a department and a date range, without writing queries.

  • Ask for a value each time

    Save a report that asks for a value when it runs, such as which department.

  • Totals, grouping and a quick chart

    Results show automatic totals and counts; group and sort in the grid, and see a simple bar chart of the main figure.

  • Export to Excel, PDF or CSV

    Export any Report Writer result to Excel, PDF or CSV.

  • Saved reports

    Save reports by name and run them again next month from My Saved Reports.

  • Respects each user's data access

    Results only include employees in the departments and locations the user is allowed to see.

Frequently asked questions

Can we export payroll to QuickBooks or our accounting system?

Yes. ApexPay exports the payroll journal as a file for QuickBooks, Peachtree, SAP or Excel, using the GL accounts you map to each pay item, department and cost centre.
