Prevent Duplicate Entries

To prevent the application from generating duplicate entries, it is a best practice to run the sync pay process only once every pay run for a given employee.

After one or more sync pay entries are generated for an employee, their name no longer appears in the Select Employees step of the wizard as a default the next time that you open it in a current pay run. This is to prevent the application from generating duplicate entries.

Employees with existing entries are hidden from the Select Employees step because, in the Filter panel of this step, the Hide Employees with Existing Entries checkbox is selected.

This checkbox is always selected as a default. If you clear it and click Apply Filter, the application displays employees who have generated entries, and it is possible to regenerate the same entries for these employees.

When the Hide Employees with Existing Entries checkbox is selected, the application also hides employees who, in a previously committed pay run, were rejected for salary retro pay calculation. However, if you clear this checkbox, these employees also appear in the list.

If there were sync pay changes generated, and there is another base rate change that is backdated to the same period as the previous base rate change, the application generates the latest changes irrespective of the previous changes. This can result in the employee being overpaid.
