# Worker Comp Cost

## **Summary**

The **Worker Comp Cost Report** provides a payroll-period view of workers’ compensation exposure and cost by company, office, customer, employee, and WC classification. It helps teams understand how gross wages are distributed across regular, overtime, double-time, and other wage components, and how those wages translate into WC wage base and WC cost.

This report is essential for:

- **Payroll teams:** Review payroll wage mix and workers’ compensation impact for closed batches.
- **Finance teams:** Track total WC cost by company and state for cost control and accrual planning.
- **Operations and compliance teams:** Validate WC code usage and state allocation for audit readiness.

It delivers clear, grouped totals (company, state, and grand total) so stakeholders can reconcile WC cost consistently across payroll runs.

| --- | --- |
| Closed payroll only | The report includes only transactions from finalized payroll batches. |

| Customer name filter behavior | Customer filtering uses partial-text matching, which may return broader results if search text is generic. |

### **Troubleshooting Guide**

| **Issues** | **Problem Reason** | **Solution** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| No data returned | Date range, company/office filters, or customer filter is too restrictive | Expand filters and confirm payroll exists in the selected period |
| Missing expected payroll row | Payroll batch is not finalized or gross wage is zero | Confirm the payroll run is finalized and contains non-zero gross |
| Worksite address appears blank | Worksite address was not available on the original transaction link | Confirm location setup for the worker/job and rerun report |
| Totals look lower than expected | Only employee records and qualified wage components are included | Validate that contractor or excluded transaction types are not expected in this report |
| State rollup not as expected | State filter selection or WC-state mapping is incomplete | Verify selected states and WC setup for impacted records |
