Frequently Asked Questions about Supplemental Earnings

  • Why isn't my supplemental earnings information being displayed with my payroll summary?

    The Supplemental Earnings Summary only appears if you have earned or reported supplemental earnings during the period for which the payroll summary is being displayed. If you know that you have reported or earned supplemental earnings that are not being displayed with the payroll summary, make sure the date range used for the payroll summary includes the dates for which the supplemental earnings were recorded.

  • Why do my Gross Receipts appear in the separate category "Other Supplemental Earnings" in the Supplemental Earnings Summary?

    Your Gross Receipts are displayed in this section because they are not included in your gross payroll totals. Your employer collects gross receipts data for informational and reporting purposes only. If you have other supplemental earnings that are included in your gross payroll, they are displayed in the Supplemental Earnings Considered Part of Gross Payroll section.

  • Why are my tips included in my gross payroll figure, since I already have them and they won't be included on my pay?

    Your tips are included in your gross payroll totals for accounting and tax reporting purposes.

  • I entered my tip total as 57.43. Why is it being displayed as 57.43000, when there can only be two numbers after the decimal point in my country's currency system?

    The supplemental earnings figures you enter will always be displayed on the Supplemental Earnings page with four digits following the decimal point, even if you are only allowed to enter two digits after the decimal place. This is done so that the Amount column will be easy to read, even if you enter a figure that uses more or fewer decimal places.

  • I need to edit one of my supplemental earnings entries, but I'm unable to make the change. Why can't I do this?

    There are three possible reasons why you cannot edit a supplemental earnings entry:

    • Your company may be set up so that once your supervisor has approved a supplemental earnings entry, the entry is locked and you cannot make any further changes to it. If your company is configured this way, you can only edit entries that have not yet been approved by your supervisor. If one or more of your supplemental earnings entries has been locked for this reason, the following message is displayed at the top of the Supplemental Earnings page: "Rows may be disabled because supervisor approval has occurred."

    • When viewing supplemental earnings information, you may see supplemental earnings records (such as bonuses) that you did not report. These supplemental earnings have been awarded to you by your employer and entered by an administrator or supervisor. You cannot edit or delete these supplemental earnings records.

    • You can only edit your supplemental earnings entries that are within the current or next pay period.
