PAY-PERIOD ROUTINE

Review the month two times

1
Pay Period 1 · days 1–15

After the 15th, confirm that every RO, hour and paid line from the first half appears correctly.

2
Pay Period 2 · days 16–month end

At month end, review the second half and reconcile the full monthly Total Due before payroll closes.

READING THE ANALYSIS

What each section tells you

W
Warranty

Operation Codes made of exactly six digits are classified as Warranty work.

CP
Customer Pay

Short alphanumeric and non-six-digit codes are Customer Pay, including service and brake details.

↑
Earnings Coach

Shows two pay-period checkpoints, possible issues, forecast, goal simulator and strongest earning positions.

$
Take-home estimate

Adjust tax and 401k percentages. This is an estimate, not an official payroll calculation.

↔
Month-to-month

Compare full or partial months. Partial reports remain clearly marked so lower totals are not mistaken for weaker performance.

USING RECOMMENDATIONS

Focus on evidence, not pressure

Use the data to ask better questions: Was every line paid? Which skills earn the most per flagged hour? Did ticket volume or work mix change? Job assignments and shop volume are not fully controlled by the technician.
