3 Correct Pay for a Group of Employees

This chapter contains these topics:

3.1 Correcting 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

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.

3.3 Setting Up New Pay Rate Tables to Update Current Pay

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.

3.4 Correcting Historical Pay for a Group of Employees

You might find it necessary to correct payments to one or more groups of employees for previous pay periods. To correct the historical pay for groups, complete the tasks to process retroactive pay.
