Understanding Off-Cycle Processing
This section discusses:
The off-cycle process.
Types of off-cycle transactions.
Viewing of delivered elements.
Off-cycle processing refers to processing payments and making corrections to 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.
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.
Corrections
Corrections enable you to correct results of any finalized payroll. Examples include reversing a sick leave payment when workers compensation should have been paid.
Unscheduled payments
Unscheduled payments enables you to enter one-time payments that fall outside the normal payroll process. Examples include one time bonuses or expense reimbursement.
Advances
Advances enables you to pay payees before their normally scheduled pay run. Examples include salary due on termination.
