# Duplicate name report

The **Duplicate Name** report within **Cintra iQ** checks payrolls and reports employees with duplicate names. The focus of the report is to check first and surnames.

> [!WARNING]
> **Important:** If there are employees with the same name check the Employment ID number and/or NI number is different for each person.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** You can show duplicates from other linked payrolls other than the selected payroll by selecting the check box in the lower left-hand corner of the report window.
