I think my original diagnosis may have been close. If the
main report's only data is the person and date, then the
main report's record source query should only contain the
person table. There would be no grouping since the detail
section would have the person info and the subreports. The
Link Master/Child properties whould have the person id to
link to the subreports fot the person.

OTOH, I don't think you actually need the subreports. If I
understand what you want, I think this would be my preferred
approach. Add a calculated field with the week (1 or 2) to
the main report's record source query using an expression
like:
WeekNum: DateDiff("ww", Forms!frmPayroll!StartDate,
datefield) + 1

Then add a group on the WeekNum field and total each week in
the WeekNum group footer section with Sum expressions. The
grand total for both weeks would be the same expressions in
the person group footer.
