A projected payroll export always uses projected hours for the "Begin Projecting" date and every day after it, even if actual timecard records have been entered for those dates. In this case, the employee's payroll was projected based on his normal schedule. The employee will be paid for the extra hours in the next pay period, when the reconciliation adjustments are posted for the pay period containing the non-scheduled work.

Note: If you know of planned variations from employee's normal schedules, you can change the employee's schedules in ezLaborManager as appropriate. Any schedule deviations that are recorded before the "Begin Projecting" date will be used when projected payroll is exported.

Many factors could cause this, but the most likely scenario is that no schedules have been defined in ezLaborManager for these employees. The Projected Payroll feature projects employee hours based on their defined schedules. For information about assigning schedules, see Managing Employee Schedules.

If you use the Reconciliation feature, you will not have to manually create a payroll adjustment. Since the pay period is still open, you can correct the error in the Timecard Manager. When the Reconciliation Processor evaluates the pay period, it compares the hours and earnings codes for every day in the time period. A reconciliation adjustment is created for every discrepancy, not just those on the projected days. When you review your reconciliation records, you should see an adjustment for the corrected time pair. If you accept the adjustment, ezLaborManager will automatically post the appropriate adjustment for you.

Yes. If the holiday is defined in ezLaborManager and assigned to your employees, the Projected Payroll feature will calculate holiday hours and charge them to the appropriate earnings code. Note, however, that some of the rules that determine whether employees are eligible for the holiday will not be evaluated. If an employee's actual recorded hours later change his/her eligibility for the holiday, the projected holiday hours will be adjusted after the pay period, as part of the normal projected payroll reconciliation process.

Yes. The projected payroll feature can project any non-worked time that is scheduled using the Non-Worked Scheduler.
