"Labour variance" report and correcting wages posted to the wrong work order

This report compares in-year forecast vs budget at the employee level. The in-year forecast is represented by actuals as of last pay period + payroll commitments for each individual for this fiscal year. A variance is calculated, indicating a positive where annual forecast is less than budget, or negative where salaries are higher than budget.

Access to the Labour Variance report is assigned to those with access to the FIS Reports folder: External Restricted User Reports. The report view depends on whether you have approved access to "Division" or "Expanded" reports. If your position needs access and you don't see this report please contact Budget office.

Instructions on how to use this report are on the Financial Reports training page under FAQ - General.

If you notice an employee has been charged to an incorrect Work Order there are different steps to take depending on the issue. More details can be found on the Reallocating salaries to proper work order cheat sheet at the top of the Financial reports training page.
