How to Run a Changed Contribution Report

How to Run a Changed Contribution Report

Before uploading a contribution file each payroll cycle, you must run a Changed Contribution Report. This is a changes-only report — it shows only updates members have made to their contribution wishes within your selected date range.

Before You Start

• Run this report before every payroll cycle, ideally before processing payroll.

• Set the date range to cover every day since the report was last run to ensure no changes are missed.

• Only members who have changed their contribution wishes will appear — members with no changes in the date range will not be listed.

Steps

Step 1.

Navigate to Reports

From your LINK Dashboard, click Reports in the left-hand sidebar.

Step 3.

Configure the report

In the Run Report form, set the Type to Changed Contributions Report. Then fill in the remaining fields: give the report a name, select your plan, and set the date range to cover every day since this report was last run.

• Changes to the Employee contribution amount (From → To)

• Changes to the Voluntary contribution amount (From → To)

Using the Report

Once downloaded, use the report to:

Update your payroll system — adjust employee deductions to reflect the latest contribution selections before running payroll.

Understand contribution changes — this is a changes-only report, showing only changes to member contribution wishes within your selected date range. Members with no changes will not appear.

Prepare your contribution file — use the listed members as the basis for any adjustments in the Contribution File Template. See the Contribution File Upload Guide for next steps.

This report shows only members who have changed their contribution wishes in the selected date range. Members who do not appear have simply made no changes — they should still be included in your contribution file as normal.
