ezPaycheck Payroll Software: How to Generate Report by Pay Period Ending Date or by Check Issue Date

ezPaycheck generates paychecks and report by pay period ending date by default. However, customers can change the option to generate the report by Pay Date.

For example: Paycheck #30001, for pay period 12/16/2023 to 12/31/2023 paid on 1/2/2024

If you select to generate the report by Pay period Ending Date, paycheck #30001 is the last check of year 2023 and will be displayed on Year 2023 report.

If you select to generate the report by Pay Date, paycheck #30001 is the first check of year 2024 and will be displayed on Year 2024 report.
