6 Distribution of Payroll Expense Reports [PPP5302] Payroll Accounting Payroll Services The PPP5302 is produced once a month as part of the month end reporting process. It lists all Payroll Expenditures (salaries and benefit charges) that are processed during the month as well as an estimated biweekly accrual and Payroll Expenditure transfers. The report is sorted by Account/CC/Fund/Project and totaled by Sub account. Within each Sub account, expenses are listed alphabetically by employee. The transactions displayed in detail on the PPP5302 are totaled by object code (Staff Career Salary Expense, Staff Career Benefit Expense, Staff Limited (Casual) Salary Expense, Staff Limited (Casual) Benefit Expense, Academic Salary Expense, and Academic Benefit Expense, etc.) and run into the General Ledger. These Totals of Expense are reflected as "D10" entries in the General Ledger. The PPP5302 should be reconciled promptly each month by comparing employees time sheets to the actual charges. Errors should be corrected within 120 days if possible and no later than six months after the charge was originally posted on the payroll expense distribution report in order to avoid both having to use a paper form and questions in an audit. The person who has the responsibility for reconciling the PPP5302 must understand how to read it and how to reconcile the charges and benefits. That person must also be familiar with the names and salaries of all the employees who work in the department. Reconciliation of the PPP5302 is a very important process within the department.
