-
Steps in the Sync Pay wizard and their descriptions Setting Description Select an earning type for hourly Retro Pay entries Select the earning that you want to use to generate the quick entries. The available options are as follows.
- Earning List: The application enables the Select an earning for retro pay entries drop-down list (located below this drop-down list), from which you need to select an earning to apply the quick entry.
- Note: Select this option and, if employee has more than one type of earning (for example, regular and overtime) on the same day, the application generates a consolidated quick entry totaling the earnings for that day. Conversely, the Original Earnings and Alternate Earnings options allow the application to generate separate quick entries for each earning type on a given day.
- Original Earnings: The application uses the earning for which the quick entry is generated. For example, if the pay sync is for the Sick earning, the application uses the Sick earning for the quick entry.
- Alternate Earnings: The application uses the alternate earning selected in the earning definition. See Configure Sync Pay for Non-Auto Pay Employees. If there is no alternate earning defined, the application defaults to using the original earning.
Select an earning for retro pay entries A drop-down list that is only enabled if you select Earning List from the above drop-down list. The list displays your organization's earnings. Select an earning code that you want the application to use to apply the retroactive adjustment. Select check template for all selected employees Select the check template that you want the application to assign to the retroactive adjustment to all employees in the list. After you make a selection, the application updates the Check Template column for all entries in the list.
Note: You can also select a specific check template option from the Check Template column for each employee in the list below the settings.
Suppress Negative Retro Adjustments A checkbox selected by default, so that the application does not create negative retroactive adjustments (for example, in the case where an employee's base rate was decreased). If this checkbox is cleared, and the employee has reduction of base rate, the application generates negative quick entries.
Negative entries are suppressed at an earning record level. Therefore, if the records are output using unique earning codes, the negative is always suppressed. However, if the records are output in a consolidated earning code, and the net positives are sufficient to cover the net negatives, the net negatives get absorbed and not suppressed.
The application generates a consolidated entry if you select Earning List as the earning type for the adjustments, and the employee has more than one type of earning (for example, regular and overtime) on the same day. The best way to ensure each record is individually considered is to use the Original Earnings or Alternate Earnings earning type to produce the entries.
Retro PayRun Mode A drop-down list that contains the following options:
- Committed and Current Payruns: This is the default selection. The application generates entries both for eligible earnings in committed pay runs and saved eligible earnings in the current pay run.
- Committed Payrun: The application generates entries for eligible earnings in committed pay runs only.
- Current Payrun: The application generates entries for saved eligible earnings in the current pay run only.
- Click Next and the application displays the Complete step and starts generating the quick entries.
- Click Finish to return to the Quick Entry tab.
- After the application is done generating the quick entries, click Refresh to view them.
