Hello there. To provide you with the most accurate solution, I'd like to ask for some additional information and a screenshot to ensure we're on the same page.
When you mention the payroll activity report, are you referring to the Profit and Loss report? If so, please ensure that the wage expenses, if they appear from the bank feeds, are allocated to the same account in the Payroll Chart of Accounts.
This process will ensure wage expenses are accurately reflected. When running the report, select the correct reporting period.

If you're referring to something else, feel free to leave a comment below. We're here to help.
