Why does the annual statement for 2025 show a higher annual salary than expected?
Section for Payroll has recently received several questions about why the reported annual salary on the annual statement for 2025 is so high.
The reason is related to the timing of the payment of the 2024 pay settlement.
Delayed payment affects reporting
The pay settlement for 2024 was not paid until 2025. When back payments are made in the year after they should originally have been paid, current reporting regulations require them to be reported in the year in which they are actually paid.
This means that the back payment from 2024 is included in your reported income for 2025.
