Interactions with Additional Pay

To process additional pay for an employee, the system uses two dates from the Create Additional Pay page:

  • Effective date.

  • (optional) Earnings end date.

If the effective date of the additional pay is before, or on, the pay period end date, the system pays the additional pay.

If you specify an earnings end date, the system pays the additional pay only if the end date is after the pay period begin date.

The following tables illustrate examples of how the system uses dates in processing additional pay:
