Understanding Off-Cycle Processing

This topic discusses:

  • The off-cycle process.

  • Types of off-cycle transactions.

Note: Please refer to the PeopleSoft Global Payroll product documentation for information about off-cycle setup and processing.

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 make early termination payments that can't wait until the next scheduled payroll.

The four types of off-cycle transactions are:

  1. 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 his or her pay details were not entered in time for the normal pay run.

  2. Corrections

    Corrections enable you to correct the results of any finalized payroll. Examples include reversing a sick leave payment when workers compensation should have been paid.

  3. Additional payments

    Additional payments enable you to enter one-time payments that fall outside the normal payroll process. Examples include one-time bonuses or expense reimbursements.

  4. Advances

    Advances enable you to pay payees before their normally scheduled pay run. Examples include salary due on termination.
