What does the Personnel Change Report document?

The Personnel Change Report serves to document any modifications made to the employee masterfile during a specific payroll period. This report is essential for maintaining accurate and up-to-date employee records, which includes changes in status such as promotions, salary adjustments, terminations, and other personnel actions. By tracking these changes, organizations can ensure that payroll and HR departments operate smoothly and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

While the other options touch on important aspects of employee management, they do not pertain directly to the changes in employee records that the Personnel Change Report specifically addresses. For example, employee leave requests, training and development records, and satisfaction surveys are important for overall employee management but do not capture the transactional changes in employee data necessary for payroll processing.
