Understanding Correcting Errors in Pre-Payroll Processing

After you review pre-payroll information online and in reports, you might discover errors that prevent the system from correctly processing payroll information. For example, you might have inadvertently omitted an employee's record from the data selection for the pre-payroll version. You must correct these errors and rerun pre-payroll for the affected employees before you print payments. To reduce computer-processing time, you can often process pre-payroll for only those employee records that you corrected. This type of pre-payroll processing is called a changes-only pre-payroll.
