Hi Martin,

I presume you are referring to the employee reports found under Reports-
>Business ?

Unfortunately these reports won't work with the payroll management method 
which is explained in Chapter 17 of the guide.

There is a note at the end of section 17.2 which hints at how to report the 
outstanding payroll for an employee, which is to start from your payroll 
account register, use the Find menu option to filter this to only the employee 
you are interested in. This will open a new register with the search results 
only. On the register you can then run the Account Report.

The reports under Reports->Business will only work if you have configured the 
business features of gnucash (for which you can find more information under 
the chapters Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable of the Guide). However 
even then the employee reports found there are not what you are looking for. 
The business features don't have support for payroll. That's why chapter 17 
explains a way to do it manually. Instead the business features support 
expense vouchers which employees can file for expenses they have made on 
behalf of the company. And the reports under Reports->Business only relate to 
this feature.

Hopefully this clears it up a bit for you.

Regards,

Geert
