Processing Retrospective Payments

The default Retro Method and the On Conflict Retro Method for New Zealand are both forwarding. The Global Payroll core application retro processing meets all the requirements for processing retrospective payments in New Zealand.

Entering Pay Group Information for New Zealand

To enter pay group information specific to New Zealand, such as the standard payslip template and the run type for leave paid in advance, use the Pay Groups NZL (GPNZ_PYGRP_DTL) component.

This section discusses how to specify a regular run type for leave paid in advance.

Page Used to Enter Additional Pay Group Information

Specifying a Regular Run Type for Leave Paid in Advance

Access the Pay Group Addl Info page.

Within the general structure of Global Payroll calendars, periods and calendar groups, the system has to determine which calendar group an advance should be paid in.

In determining which calendar group to put an advance in, we need to look at the calendars it contains to see when they are being paid. However, a calendar group can contain a number of calendars, each potentially with different periods and payment dates.

To choose the calendar group, in which the advance will be paid, we look at only those for a particular run type, which is your organization’s “regular” run type

Note. In the following diagram, the Advance Calendar Group for the advance type PPAB is Payment Prior to Absence Begin, meaning payment date prior to, not payment period prior to, which is another option, “Period Prior to Absence.”
