February 2026: Export your Payroll Summary Dashboard as a PDF

Prev Next

We are pleased to announce a new addition to the Payroll Summary Dashboard in Cintra People Payroll: PDF Export. Payroll managers can now download a professionally formatted PDF of their dashboard for manual sign-off or archiving.

What's new?

  • Export to PDF directly from the Payroll Summary Dashboard.

  • The exported PDF captures all dashboard tiles and their current values, including Employees, Total Costs, Gross Pay, Liability Payments, and HMRC Payments.

  • All applied filters are included in the document, date range, payroll selection, and employee group filters, so the context of the report is always clear.

  • The payroll cycle stage banner includes a clear statement of where the payroll was in its processing cycle at the time of export. This removes any ambiguity about whether figures represent draft or final, approved data.

  • Generation metadata is included on every export, including the date and time of export, the user who generated it, the payroll name(s), and the period(s) covered.

What are the key benefits?

  • The PDF export gives payroll teams a reliable, audit-ready document at the click of a button.

  • Supports manual sign-off workflows: Finance directors, payroll managers, and authorised approvers can review a clear, portable document before authorising payroll.

  • Meets archiving requirements: Exported PDFs provide a point-in-time record suitable for retaining for HMRC and audit purposes.

  • Removes ambiguity with payroll status context: The payroll cycle stage banner makes it immediately clear whether the data was final at the time of export, eliminating the risk of approving a draft report by mistake.

What next?

Go to the Payroll Summary Dashboard, apply any filters you need, and click Export. For more information, see Payroll Summary Dashboard.
