Frequently Asked Questions about Payroll Adjustments

 

  • What is the difference between the Pay Date and the Adjusted Transaction Date?

    The pay date is the date on which you want the adjustment to occur in the employee’s records. At the time an adjustment is created, the pay date must fall within the current or next pay period. The employee receives any payment or deduction associated with the adjustment when he/she is paid for the pay period containing the pay date.

    The entry in the Adjusted Transaction Date field is the date of the actual event that caused the need for the payroll adjustment (for example, the date for which the employee was underpaid or the employee's time pair was not recorded). The Adjusted Transaction Date should fall in a past period, because errors in the current and next pay periods can be corrected in the Timecard Manager without making a payroll adjustment.

  • I need to make a payroll adjustment for an employee, but I cannot access the employee’s records. Why not?

    You can only view and edit timecard information for employees who are assigned to security groups to which you have access. If you believe you should be able to view an employee’s records, first check your employee filter to make sure you have not filtered out the employee. If you cannot adjust your filter to view an employee, contact your system administrator to verify your security group access settings.

  • Which code do I enter in the Separate Check field?

    The drop-down menu lists codes that are created by your company. If you do not know which code to use for an adjustment, contact your payroll administrator. Depending on your company settings, you may not need to enter a value in this field.

    Note that the 01 code does not necessarily mean a single check.

  • How do I review a history of the changes made to payroll records?

    The Time & Attendance module tracks all changes made to payroll records, including payroll adjustments. Each time a payroll adjustment is created, edited, or deleted, the date of the change, the user ID of the individual who performed the action, and all of the affected field values (both before and after the change) are recorded in the edit audit history.

    As a practitioner, you can view the edit audit history for a payroll adjustment at any time.
