This is the Reports Center where all of the reports you need can be found. The default view when it opens is the Pay Periods section of the Report Center. The Default Report that is ready to print is the Normal 80 Report and will be our starting example to explain the general settings in the Report Center. This report is one of two that you should print after every payroll and save for seven years in case of an audit. The Normal 80 Column Report gives you and any auditors all the payroll information that you would need for the employees. The other "Default" report that you should also print and save each pay day is the third on to the right in the screen above and is the Employer Totals Report. That report gives you all of your tax liabilities in a single page that is easy to read.
 Report Categories
This area lists the Report Categories. The "Default" selected category is "Pay Periods" when you open the Report Center. By clicking on the category name it will open the selected category in the right side of the Window. An example is to print checks, you would click on "Check Printing".

Active Employees - All Employees except those marked as Type U for Unemployed.
