Retroactive Adds

A retroactive add occurs when there is a retroactive hire or a retroactive pay group transfer. With a retroactive hire, there is no previous calculation (prior gross-to-net). In the case of a retroactive pay group transfer, the retro add refers to the pay group to which the payee is transferred.

Example 1: Retroactive Add with Forwarding Retro

Scenario:

  • In period 2, information is received regarding a new payee that is hired in period 1.

  • The first retro calculation involves retro in period 2 back to period 1.

Period 1 Period 2

V1R1

V1R1

Never existed.

Segment 1

E1 = 200 (100 + 100)

V1R2

 

Segment 1

E1 = 100

Delta = 100

 
  • In period 1, V1R2 represents the retro processing for that period. The revision number is 2 even though Version 1 never existed, because the method is forwarding, and the recalculation does not represent the true results.

  • The delta for period 1, V1R2 is pulled into period 2, V1R1 as an adjustment.
