# Pay Run Reports
Pay run reports will need to be generated per pay run for the date of that pay period and the linked employees and financials.
Currently in the pay runs you can generate these four reports:
* Cost report\
Gives you a comprehensive overview of all the pay run templates, with their amounts, quantities and rates.
* Nett Pay Report\
This report will show you the nett amounts and the associated banking details for each employee.
* Bank Payment File
Here you can select from a multitude op available bank files to create an export file that can be imported into your banking software.
* Daily Cost Component report\
This report will show you a break down of all the financials that has been linked to the activity and or site that it was linked to.
