Overview: Administrators using Buddy Punch Payroll can download a Child Support Payments report from the Buddy Punch website. The report covers a date range you choose and downloads as a CSV file listing every child support payment withheld through payroll, the agency it was sent to, and its current status.
Important! This report only reflects child support orders that have been added to a worker's payroll profile as a post-tax deduction. Follow the steps here to enter a child support order.
Download the Child Support Payments Report
1. Start by navigating to Payroll --> Reports --> Child Support Payments:
2. Set the Start Date and End Date for the period you want the report to cover, then click Download Report:
3. The report automatically downloads to your computer as a CSV file named child_support_payments.csv. It includes a row for every child support payment withheld during the date range you selected, showing the:
Employee ID
First Name and Last Name of the worker
Payroll ID and Payroll Item ID
Payment Amount
Expected Completion Date
Agency the payment was sent to
Trace Number
And the Status of the payment
Note: If no child support payments were withheld during the date range you select, the file still downloads, but it will contain only the column headings and no rows.
