Defining Results Adjustments and Reversals

This chapter provides an overview of results adjustments and discusses how to define and process results reversals.

Note. The off-cycle payment feature has replaced the results adjustment and reversal feature. In this release, you can still use the results adjustment and reversal feature, however, in future releases, off-cycle payments may be used exclusively.

Understanding Results Adjustments

In Global Payroll, you can adjust an employee’s pay results with the retro feature. With result adjustment, you can make changes to an employee’s pay after finalization. For example, if a special deduction has to be applied to an employee’s results right before calculation, you can do so by adding this deduction in the Positive Input page in the core application.

Note. There is no special setup required for results adjustments. It is done through regular retro processing.

There are two types of adjustments:

Positive adjustment − when additional pay needs to be made to the employee.
Negative adjustment − when an employee’s pay needs to be deducted.

Both positive and negative adjustments are handled with retro triggers that are defined in the core application. If it’s a payroll adjustment, you can make the adjustment through positive input. If it’s an absence adjustment, you can make the adjustment through the Absence Entry page.

Defining and Processing Results Reversals

This section provides an overview of results reversals and discusses how to define results reversals.

Understanding Results Reversals

When an employee is terminated and never shows up for work again, you can use the results reversal feature in Global Payroll for Mexico. In this case, you can select those employees whose results need to be reversed. This way, the system can identify the reversed employees during the termination process and won’t process those employees. The results that were previously generated are cancelled.

You’ll use results reversal to identify the employees whose results need to be reversed.

Note. Results reversal is only used for employees who never show up for work. Any other type of reversal is handled with the retro feature in Global Payroll.

To process a results reversal for an employee:

Select the employee whose results need to be reversed on the Results Reversal page.
During the termination process, the system identifies the reversed employees and does not process them any further. This is done with a formula that avoids the calculation of the regular payroll or termination process. The formula RE FM VALIDA REVER is PeopleSoft-delivered but not maintained.
