Pay Changes and Overtime
Find pay above what was approved, and overtime far beyond an employee’s own pattern.
- Ledger + payroll register
- Key analysis in Payroll
How the result is read
Pay is approved twice: a salary in the HR file, and each change to it. Basic pay above the approved salary month after month, with no approved change on file, is an unlogged pay rise. Overtime is read against the employee’s own months, not a company average, so a spike stands out even for staff who always work some overtime; it must also be large against their basic pay to matter.
In the application
Pay Changes and Overtime is filed under Payroll, index letter H. "Run all analyses" runs it with every other analysis the ledger and the documents loaded can answer. The worksheet states the population it tested on its face — or "Not applicable" with the reason when a column it depends on is empty — and the Excel workbook the engagement exports files it under H, beside an index of the source files with their SHA-256 fingerprints.
