Compensation gives your employees insight into their pay, complete with an interactive summary and detailed breakdown of their pay, deductions, and benefits.
Past pays in Avanti are available for employees to review, except for cancelled pays. Employees can conveniently access their pay statements in PDF format by simply selecting PDF.

Get Familiar with Compensation
Employees can review their pay period information, and the year-to-date amounts up to payday.
Compensation is divided into two categories, Take Home Pay and Benefits.
Take Home Pay
Cash Compensation
This details all the employee’s earnings with a year-to-date amount that is included on the breakdown, unless there are no earnings during the pay period and Suppress statement printing when earning amt = 0 is selected on the earning code.
Deducted from pay
All deductions with a year-to-date amount display in Compensation.
Benefits
Taxable Benefits
Displays all benefits which result in additional taxes with a year-to-date and don’t have Suppress printing benefit on statement selected on the Deduction/Benefit Code.
Non-Taxable Benefits
Includes all remaining benefits with a year-to-date that don’t have Suppress printing benefit on statement selected on the Deduction/Benefit Code.
Employees can also view a PDF of their pay statement from Compensation, which they can save or print for their records. The PDF is the same as the statement displayed in Payment Inquiry on the Avanti Desktop.
Managers and Regular Users
For managers and regular users, you have a few extra tricks up your sleeve. Managers and regulars have the exclusive ability to view other employees' info.
Need to look up an employee’s compensation? Managers and regular users can scroll through their employees. Is scrolling going to take too long? Search for a particular name to view another employee’s tax credits. Use filters to find someone even quicker. Find your name at the top and use scroll to the top to quickly get back up.
Need more info on an employee to double-check something? View employee details with Employee Info. Make the Employee Info fit your company with the Employee Info Setup Guide.
Compensation Emails
You can allow employees to email themselves a password-protected PDF copy of their pay info. The email will go to their pay statement email. Employees without a pay statement email will receive it at their primary email address. Tailor the email message to your company’s style, whether in English or French. You can even use HTML to craft the perfect message. Go to the Compensation Setup Guide for more information on emails.
Compensation Security
The PDF with all the pay information can be password protected for additional security. Check out the Compensation Setup Guide for more information.
If you’re allowing employees to email themselves a PDF copy of their pay info, it’s always password-protected.
If the employee has a statement password, it’ll be used to password-protect the emailed file.
If the employee doesn’t have a statement password, it’s protected using the Default Email Statement Password Mask. You can update this from the Avanti Desktop on the Basic tab in Payroll Parameters.
Who can view Compensation?
Employees can only see their own pay information in the Compensation tab. Managers and Regular Users can view other employees’ compensation.
Employees won’t have access to Pay Statements if Compensation is set up.
Which Pays Display?
You decide which pays to display by setting the initial pay date. All past pays after this date displays in Compensation, except for cancelled pays.
Ready to Get Started?
Compensation replaces Pay Statements, so Pay Statements can’t be accessed from the ASSP once Compensation is set up.
