Report Data

When an employee's record is modified, the system stores both the original data (Old Value) and the new information (New Value). Also stored are employee IDs and names, dates of the activity, tables and fields affected, and login names of the operators responsible.

In addition to documenting changes to existing records, the Employee Payroll Activity report shows records that were added or deleted. The report also documents changes made by the system, such as scheduled increases to salaries and the implementation of new year rates.

The report's Table/Field and Old Value/New Value columns include notations of database functions, such as ADD EMPLOYEE and CHG EMPLOYEE. For example, the Old Value/New Value column will include the notation ADD if a value has been added to an empty field or DELETE if a record has been deleted. Similarly, the notation NEW appears below the table name in the Table/Field column to indicate a new record has been added for an existing employee.
