USE CASE: Best practice for setting up, completing, processing and revising a pay run

 

Ensure that all relevant Timesheets have been entered (if applicable)

  1. Payroll > Pay Run Menu > Entitlement > Submit

Entitlement is necessary when; 

  1. Compensation change
  2. Position End Dated
  3. Benefits or allowance change, new deduction amount
  4. Anything that affect the payroll
  1. Payroll > Pay Run Menu > Group Authorization > Submit

  1. You have to do it if you ran entitlements and you agree with entitlement adjustments
    1. You approve the Entitlement calculations by running this 
    2. This commits the Entitlement adjustment amounts to system memory
      1. Changes Authorized Indicator from N to Y under P&A and Salary & Allowances

  1. If Entitlement was 0, then no need to run Group Authorization 
    1. Since no change to commit to memory

  1. Entitlement > Authorize > Schedule > Pay > Not happy with Pay > Abort > Entitle again > Authorize again – This is BEST PRACTICE
  1. Payroll > Pay Run Menu > Schedule Group > Save

  2. Pay Run type, Pay Dates and % of Salary for each Pay
  3. Pay period dates can vary because some groups are paid up to date, and some groups like timesheet groups are paid 2 or 4 weeks behind
    1. Salary usually paid on time
    2. Timesheet/casuals usually paid 2/4 weeks behind
