Analyzing the Compare Base Salary Screen

The Payroll > Payroll > Compare Salary screen allows you to compare this pay period to a previous pay period.  Most often districts compare this payroll to the payroll before this.  It allows you to see if an employee was paid a different base salary in this payroll than they were paid in the last payroll.  It helps to weed out any possible mistakes in employees salaries.  If a red box appears under "This Base" it means that the employee is not being paid in this pay period.  The "Difference" column shows the difference between what an employee was paid in the last payroll as compared to this payroll.  Checking off the "Exclude Pensionable Casual Earnings" checkbox will make it so the system only compares base pay, not any extra pay that came from Pensionable Other Earnings.
