Gross Pay Calculation Updates

Written by Alvys Admin

Gross Pay Calculation on Driver Statements (Effective January 1, 2026)

Roles with Access

  • Payroll Admin

  • Payroll Clerk

  • Finance / Accounting

  • Operations Admin

Summary

Gross pay on driver statements is now calculated based on specific credit categories, not all credits. This update applies only to statements and paystubs dated January 1, 2026 and later, ensuring consistent and accurate reporting for the 2026 calendar year and beyond.


How Gross Pay Is Calculated

Gross pay includes only categories designated as “In Gross.” All other categories are excluded, even if they appear as credits on the statement.

This logic is:

  • Category-based, not configurable per tenant

  • Forward-looking only (no retroactive changes to 2025 or earlier)

  • Applied anywhere driver statements and statement reports display gross pay


Understand Which Categories Are Included

Gross pay is determined entirely by the credit category.

Reporting Behavior

  • All 2026 statement reports use the updated gross logic

  • Gross pay totals are consistent across drivers and pay periods

  • No tenant-level toggle exists for this behavior

This ensures all 2026 data is comparable and compliant with standardized reporting.


FAQ

Does this change affect past statements?

No. Statements dated before January 1, 2026 continue using the legacy calculation.

Can I customize which categories count toward gross pay?

No. Gross inclusion is hard-coded by category and applies to all tenants.

Why doesn’t reimbursement count toward gross pay?

Reimbursements are not earnings. Excluding them prevents inflated gross totals and improves payroll accuracy.

Will this impact net pay?

No. This change affects gross pay only. Net pay calculations remain unchanged.
