Search Header
Pay Company	Filters the list of Payday returns that are displayed in the search results list by the pay company to which the returns correspond. To find a Payday return for a specific pay company, select the name of the pay company in this field.

If this option is ticked, any Payday returns that have a status of Partially Queued will also be listed.

Description

Pay Batch No.

Displays the batch number that uniquely identifies a pay batch that contributes payment information to the listed Payday return based on the combination of pay company, pay period and payment date.

No. of Payees

Displays the number of payees who were paid in the corresponding pay batch and will therefore have their earnings reported in the listed Payday return.

Included in Last Submission?

Displays a tick if the corresponding pay batch was included in the last submission of the listed Payday return.

If the submission status of the return is Not Submitted, a tick will not be displayed against any of the listed pay batches. Once the return has been submitted, if a tick is not displayed against any of the listed pay batch that indicates that the pay batch was closed after the return was submitted and therefore the return must be resubmitted to report the additional payments.
