Filling out the 300A Summary Worksheet via OSHA Reports

For most customers this form is completed once a year with "lump sum" values, not monthly. Here is the info for you. The monthly reporters info will follow.
Enter the "Average Number of Employees" for the year in the red Total Employees box for the Location
Enter the number "1" in the red Pay Periods box because you are treating this calculation as a one year total pay period. 12 if you are putting monthly totals in.
Enter the total hours actually worked ALL year for ALL Employees in the green Dec box.
Push the blue "+" button to peak at the values that will show on the 300A when generated.
Select "Save" when finished
Now for the Monthly reporting customers!
Enter the number in the red Pay Periods box.
Enter the "Number of Employees" for the year in the red Total Employees box for the Location
Special Note: The Total Employees field on the form refers to “The total number of employees your establishment paid in all pay periods during the year.” This means that if you paid 95 employees in 26 pay periods, the Total Employees paid in all pay periods would be 95 x 26 = 2470. This method accounts for employers that may pay differing numbers of employees in each pay period (part time, temp, etc). By summing the number paid in each pay period and then dividing by the number of pay periods you get an average number of employees.
Enter the total hours actually worked for Employees in the green Month boxes or just put the full year hours in the "Dec" month box if you are not doing monthly entry.
Push the blue " + " button to peak at the values that will show on the 300A when generated.
Select "Save" when finished.
