    • Were not yet calculated this pay period.

    • Were calculated, but errors occurred during the calculation process.

    • Had benefit or job changes since the last deduction calculation for the pay period.

  • (Re)Calculate All Checks when benefit-table-level changes occur that will affect deduction calculation, such as benefit premium adjustments.

    Note: This option processes both benefit-table-level changes and employee-level changes.
