Who this template is for

Insurance Audit Payroll Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in insurance.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 12 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Was overtime paid?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Overtime wages included in gross payroll”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Were subcontractors paid?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Subcontractor payment details”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

An insurance payroll audit is easier to review when the reporting period, payroll totals, and supporting records tell the same story. Use this form to collect an employer’s payroll summary for an existing policy—not to request a quote or report a claim. Before sending it, copy the audit period from the insurer’s request and confirm which records the reviewer expects. Ask for gross payroll before deductions, then collect a breakdown by work location and job duties or assigned classification. Do not ask respondents to guess classification codes. Where codes are unavailable, a plain-language description of the work gives the reviewer something concrete to follow up on. Keep overtime identifiable within gross payroll rather than silently subtracting it; the reviewer can request any further separation needed. The conditional questions surface overtime amounts and subcontractor details only when relevant. Supporting uploads should cover the same dates as the summary. Request business-level totals or redacted reports, not employee Social Security numbers, bank details, or individual pay statements unless your approved process specifically requires them. Before marking a submission ready for review, reconcile the breakdown to the gross total and record any date or reporting differences. Route unresolved discrepancies back to the named payroll contact. This form organizes evidence; it does not determine classifications, allowable exclusions, or the final audited premium.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 2 conditional rules, grouped into 2 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Was overtime paid?”

  • Reveals questions

    If “Was overtime paid?” is Yes, the form reveals “Overtime wages included in gross payroll”.

Driven by “Were subcontractors paid?”

  • Reveals questions

    If “Were subcontractors paid?” is Yes, the form reveals “Subcontractor payment details”.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Match the insurer’s reporting window

    Set the audit dates from the request before gathering records. If a payroll report uses different boundaries, explain the difference instead of relabeling the report.

  2. 2

    Reconcile work groups to gross payroll

    Group payroll by duties and location, using assigned classification codes only when available. Add the groups together and compare the result with the gross payroll field.

  3. 3

    Keep overtime and contractor payments distinct

    Leave overtime within gross payroll and identify it separately in the conditional field. List subcontractor payments outside the employee payroll total so the reviewer can trace both.

  4. 4

    Review uploads before sharing

    Check that every file covers the requested period and remove unnecessary personal identifiers. Restrict access to the people handling the audit and use your approved retention process.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Submitting calendar-year payroll when the requested audit period follows different policy dates.
  • Subtracting overtime from gross payroll without showing what was removed or how it was calculated.
  • Uploading reports with unexplained totals or unnecessary employee bank and identification details.

Frequently asked questions

Does this form calculate the final audited premium?

No. It collects payroll information and supporting records. The insurer or designated reviewer determines how the information applies to the audit.

What if we do not know our classification codes?

Describe the actual duties and work location for each payroll group. Do not select a code by guesswork; leave classification confirmation to the reviewer.

What should we do if a payroll report does not match the summary?

Keep the original report intact and explain the affected dates, amounts, and known reason in Reconciliation notes. Identify missing information rather than forcing the totals to match.

Can we use this to request new insurance or change a policy?

Use Business Insurance Quote for a new coverage inquiry and Policy Change Request for an existing-policy change. This form is specifically for collecting payroll records requested during an audit.
