Features of Off Cycle Processing

With off cycle processing, you can:

• Override a payee's normal payment method.

  You can override the payment method that's defined for a payee on the Net Distribution page or that is defined through rules during the calculation process. For example, you can issue a check to a payee for a one time bonus, even though the payee's regular monthly salary is paid through a direct deposit.

  See Defining Payee Net Pay Elections.

• Limit which elements are resolved.

  For all off cycle transactions except advances, you can use two features to limit the primary elements (earnings and deductions) on the process list that the system resolves. The Element Selection section enables you to select which primary elements you want resolved, with the exception of any retroactive or positive input for those elements. You can select all elements, elements with positive input, or a limited set of primary elements to process.

• Override supporting elements.

  For all off cycle transactions except advances, you can override the values of brackets, dates, duration, formulas, and variables for a given payee and calendar. Advances will take these overrides from the calendar definitions of the calendars being advanced.
