How to view employee pay details in Cocoon

Employee pay during leave can be complex. Cocoon helps simplify the process by surfacing employee-level pay information directly in the employer dashboard, so Proxy, Workspace and Pay admins can better understand an employee’s pay during leave.

To view pay information for an employee on leave:

From the Pay details tab, you can review the employee’s leave pay information, including expected payments, pay sources, pay periods, and calculation details.

The pay summary gives admins a clear, high‑level view of all sources of pay an employee is expected to receive while on leave, including employer pay, state benefits, and private insurance benefits.

This view helps admins quickly understand the employee’s overall pay structure across the entire leave period.

Cocoon may show benefit deductions when the employee is expected to receive payments directly from a state or private insurance carrier. These deductions ensure employer payroll reflects the income the employee is receiving outside of company pay.

Because states and carriers pay employees directly and on their own timelines, Cocoon cannot always predict the exact pay period when those payments will arrive. Instead, Cocoon uses the available benefit information to calculate the expected deductions and applies them within the employer pay view.

The Employer Pay section gives a clear, period‑by‑period breakdown of what the employer will pay the employee during their leave.

It displays the employer pay amount for each pay period, helping admins understand exactly what the employee should receive from the company.

Admins can switch between past and upcoming pay periods to see both completed payments and projected future payments.

Each pay period view provides a detailed snapshot of employer pay for that specific timeframe, making it easier to review accuracy and confirm expectations.

The pay period Summary shows exact amounts across categories such as:

Past pay periods show employer pay that has already been processed. This view helps with payroll reconciliation, reviewing accuracy, and answering employee questions about what they previously received.

Upcoming pay periods display projected employer pay based on the employee’s current leave plan and the benefit information available at the time.

These projections can change if:

Admins can download available employee pay information from the Pay details tab for payroll review, reconciliation, or internal recordkeeping.

Employee pay details are available to admins with the appropriate permissions, including Workspace, Proxy, and Payroll Admins.

If you don’t see the Pay details tab or can’t access employee pay information, check with your Cocoon workspace owner or administrator to confirm your role and permissions.
