Reversing or Adjusting a Paycheck

Payroll for North America check reversals enable you to track reversed time in Payable Time, or repay time in a new check. Check reversals can be done in the same pay cycle or different pay cycle and can be done before or after the Extract Cost process.

The way in which Time and Labor and Payroll for North America handle paycheck reversals and adjustments depends on the selections you make on the Paycheck Reversal/Adjustment page in Payroll for North America. This page contains two options in the Process Request Parameter(s) group box. These options are available on the page if payable time exists in the paycheck with any of these statuses: Taken – Used by Payroll (TP), Distributed (PD), Diluted (D), and Closed (CL). The options are:

  • Reversal – generates a new row in Payable Time with the status of Check Reversal (RV).

  • Reversal/Adjustment – generates a new row in Payable Time with the payable status of Check Reversal (RV) and an additional row to be loaded for future payment. The payable status of the additional row is Estimated – Ready for Payroll (ES).

    Note:

    Payable Time with the Check Reversal status is not displayed on the Adjust Paid Time page in Time and Labor.

The process that creates the offset and new rows in Payable Time is triggered after the Pay Confirmation process completes successfully. This ensures that check reversal is confirmed and not unsheeted. If an Unconfirm occurs in Payroll for North America, followed by deletion of a check reversal, Time and Labor removes the reversed and new rows in Payable Time.

The rows with a payable status of Check Reversal (RV) that are created in Payable Time are published to Project Costing to keep track of reversed time. This occurs when the Extract Costs process is run, or when the Time and Labor Pay Reversal process is triggered after the Pay Confirm process.
