Correcting Employee Records That Were Omitted from Pre-Payroll

Occasionally, an employee who should be paid for the current pay period is omitted from pre-payroll processing. For example, an employee might be omitted from pre-payroll processing for any of these reasons:

• The selection criteria for the pre-payroll version did not include the employee.

• The date that was entered as the employee's pay start date or pay stop date is incorrect.

• No timecard has been entered for the employee.

• The user who submitted pre-payroll does not have security to access the employee's record.

After you complete pre-payroll processing, the record for the employee should be locked in pre-payroll. If the record for the employee is not locked in pre-payroll, the employee was not included in the pre-payroll processing. To include the employee in future pre-payroll processing for this payroll ID, you must correct the error. To ensure that the employee receives a payment for this payroll cycle, complete one of these procedures:

• Reset the payroll ID, and then process pre-payroll again.

• Issue an interim check for the employee.

  If you issue an interim check, you should change the pre-payroll selection criteria after you complete payroll cycle processing.
