Your company may require that all supplemental earnings
transactions be approved by a manager
before payroll can be processed. If your company supports supplemental
earnings and requires manager
approvals, the Time & Attendance module
generates a supplemental earnings exception for each unapproved supplemental
earning transaction. These exceptions are listed in the Exceptions section
of the Home page.
accesses
the Time & Attendance module.
Note: If
your company does not require the approval of supplemental earnings, you
will not receive any exceptions or be required to approve supplemental
earnings while you are performing end of period tasks and processing your
payroll.
In most cases, managers
approve supplemental earnings transactions and resolve any Supplemental
Earnings Supervisor Approval Required exceptions. However, if any employees
have unapproved supplemental earnings transactions when you begin your
end of period and payroll preparation tasks, those employees are displayed
to you as having exceptions. If this happens, you can either e-mail the
appropriate manager
a reminder to approve the transactions and wait to continue preparing
your payroll, or you can approve the transactions yourself within the
prepare for payroll/end of period interface.
If your
company requires that supplemental earnings be approved and unapproved
supplemental earnings exist when you process End of Period, the Check
Time Pair Exceptions page will list the unapproved supplemental earnings
during Step 3: Check Time Pair Exceptions. If this happens:
In the Edit Supplemental Earnings column of Check
Time Pair Exceptions page, click the 
button for
an employee with unapproved supplemental earnings.
On the Supplemental Earnings page that opens,
select the Supervisor Approval
check box for each supplemental earnings transaction you want to approve.
To select all supplemental earnings transactions, click the check
box in the header row.
Note:
You cannot edit and approve a transaction in one step. If you need
to edit a supplemental earnings transaction, make the necessary edits
and then click the Submit
button. After the page refreshes, select the Supervisor
Approval check box and click the Submit
button again.
Click the End
of Period Operations link at the bottom of the page to resume
End of Period.
Note: The
procedure given above is for the most common scenario in which practitioners have to approve
supplemental earnings transactions. If you are a practitioner
with manager user
rights, you can use the Home page
in the Manager role at
any time to quickly view
and resolve Supplemental Earnings Supervisor Approval Required exceptions
for all employees assigned to security groups to which you have access.
