Understanding Off-Cycle Processing
This section discusses:
Off-cycle processing.
Types of off-cycle transactions.
Off-cycle processing refers to processing payments and correcting payroll results outside of the normal payroll schedule. Off-cycle transactions are usually made to correct prior payments, enter manual payments, or to make early termination payments that can't wait until the next scheduled payroll run.
The four types of off-cycle transactions are:
Manual payments.
Manual payments enable you to enter payments that you have calculated and paid outside of the payroll system. Examples include paying a new hire with a manual check, because their pay details were not entered in time for the normal pay run.
Reversals and corrections.
Reversals and corrections enable you to correct the results of a finalized payroll. Examples include reversing a sick leave payment when worker's compensation should have been paid.
Unscheduled payments.
Unscheduled payments enable you to enter one-time payments that fall outside the normal payroll process. Examples include one time bonuses or expense reimbursements.
Advances.
Advances enable you to pay payees before their normally scheduled pay run. Examples include salary due on termination.
