Reviewing the Retroactive Pay Rule Processing Report

When you submit retroactive pay rules for processing, the system generates the Retroactive Pay Rule Processing report (R186705). Use this report to verify that the system created timecards for all of the employees who are in the employee group that is associated with the retroactive pay rule. The Exceptions (errors) section of the report lists those employees for whom one of these statement is true:

• An error prevents the system from creating the timecard.

• The system creates the timecard, but an error or warning exists.

You should investigate each error and warning and make any corrections before you process a payroll cycle that includes these timecards. If all or most of the timecards are incorrect, you might have entered incorrect information on the retroactive pay rule or the associated employee group. If so, you can cancel the batch of timecards, correct the error, and then resubmit the batch. If relatively few timecards contain errors, you can use a time entry program, such as Speed Time Entry (P051121), to review the errors and make corrections. In this case, you do not need to cancel and resubmit the batch.

In addition to the exceptions, the report also includes totals of:

• Employee records that the system processed.

• All timecards that the system created.

• Timecards that the system was unable to create.

• Timecards that the system created without errors or warnings.

• Timecards that contained errors.

• Timecards that contained warnings.

• Hours worked.

• Gross pay.
