The Wage summary/Payroll summary start date.

Wage summary/Payroll summary end date

Wage summary/Payroll summary reports will sometimes list the date range the report was run for, which may be different to the pay periods it shows. In these cases, the date range of the report must be ignored. The start date of the first pay period and the end date of the last pay period contained in the report should be declared by the employer.

For example, an employer runs a wage report for the 1st January to the 31st March, however the document shows wages paid to the apprentice for the employer's pay periods commencing 4th January to 28th March.

To be acceptable evidence, the employer would declare the following within their claim:

  • Date from: 4th January
  • Date to: 28th March
  • Amount: the total gross wages shown on the report

Examples of Date Range for Wage Evidence

Employers can declare any wage evidence dates they wish, but should be encouraged during contacts to declare dates that best relate to their circumstances and provide matching wage evidence per these examples. Employers are not required to use these dates.
