This chapter contains these topics:
Section 3.3, "Setting Up New Pay Rate Tables to Update Current Pay,"
Section 3.4, "Correcting Historical Pay for a Group of Employees."
You might find it necessary to correct pay information for a group of employees instead of making corrections individual by individual. This is useful when the same changes are needed for employees with the same group characteristics.
To correct pay for a group of employees complete the following tasks:
Updating Current Pay Using Mass Change
Setting Up New Pay Rate Tables to Update Current Pay
Correcting Historical Pay for a Group of Employees
From Payroll Master (G07), enter 27
From Payroll Advanced/Technical Operations (G073), choose Data Integrity/Global Updates
From Data Integrity/Global Updates (G0731), choose Employee Master Mass Change
You might find it necessary to correct the pay information for a group of employees instead of making corrections for each individual. This is useful when you need to make the same changes for employees with the same group characteristics.
You can correct current pay with a mass change when you specify and process new data for a selected data item for groups of employees. For example:
Your company has approved a 4.5% increase for all salaried employees in the financial department.
All hourly employees in the maintenance department whose wages are 7.25 an hour are receiving a .50 per hour increase.
From Payroll Master (G07), enter 29
From Payroll Setup (G074), choose Group Constants
From Group Constants (G0745), choose Pay Rate Tables
Use pay rate tables to associate pay rates with a specific group. When current payment information changes, you must set up new tables so that the system will process the current and future payrolls with the most recent information. Follow the steps to set up a pay rate table.
