Workers Comp Audit Payroll Records Guide

How to organize payroll reports, employee categories, and supporting tax records for a workers comp audit.

Cover the complete policy period

Gather payroll registers for every pay period covered by the audited policy, including adjustments and off-cycle payroll.

Confirm employee names, work states, duties, and payroll categories against the source reports you plan to submit.

Compare payroll totals with quarterly tax forms and accounting records so unexplained differences can be reviewed before the deadline.
