Understanding Processing Requirements

Before you can implement supplementary runs, you need to consider:

• Who will be processed within a supplementary run.

  It is unlikely that all payees who are processed in a normal payroll will require payment in a supplementary run. You need to consider how you will limit the payees processed.

• Which elements need to be processed within a supplementary run.

  The elements that need to be processed vary according to the purpose of the supplementary run. You may not need to process all of the elements that are processed in the normal payroll.

Defining Payees Processed in Supplementary Runs

You can control who is processed in supplementary runs using any of these:

• Using payee list at calendar level.

  When you set up your calendars using the Calendars component (GP_CALENDAR), you can define a payee list on the Definition page that limits the payees processed. This is the recommended method.

• Using generation control at calendar level.

  Use the Generation Control page in the Calendars component to set up generation controls on your calendars.

• Using a conditional formula within the processing structure.

• Using positive input.

You need to consider the implications of including employees who are not due payment in the supplementary run. Payroll results are produced for all employees identified in the supplementary run. For those employees who are not due payment the payroll results are zero net pay. This has a negative on payroll performance and has potential implications for your payslips and banking.

Defining Elements Processed in Supplementary Runs

Review the elements required for your supplementary runs and consider:

• If you need to create a separate process list for supplementary processing.

• If the elements need to be processed every time.

  For example, regular earnings are resolved in the regular payroll but you may need these earnings to be processed in the supplementary run if you are processing retro hire and terminations. Depending on how you control the employees in the supplementary run, you may need conditional processing on the section containing regular pay elements.

• If generation control is needed at the element level.

  You may use generation control to process individual elements depending on the run type.
