Configure Anytime Pay Run Type Usages for the US

Anytime Pay uses two run types to identify the elements it processes.

This run type

Does this

Estimate On-demand Reg Normal

Identifies the elements the Estimated QuickPay process checks when calculating the employee's available net pay.

On-demand Separate

Identifies the elements the Process Pay Advance process uses when performing its gross-up calculations.

You configure how Anytime Pay calculates the estimated pay and performs gross-up calculations by configuring these run type on your elements.

To apply these run types for Anytime Pay:

  1. Evaluate your user-defined elements to determine which ones you want to include or exclude from Anytime Pay calculations.

    Element type

    What you need to do

    Why you should do it

    Earnings

    Include all appropriate earnings elements to help ensure the employee is offered an accurate estimate of their available pay.

    • For estimated pay calculations, Anytime Pay excludes Standard and Supplemental earnings elements by default.

      If you want to make Earnings elements eligible, you must add them, such as salary and bonus earnings.

      Note: Providing pay advances to salaried employees requires additional configuration. For further info, see Anytime Pay for Salaried Employees in the Help Center.
    • For gross-up calculations, the only Earnings element that can have the On-demand Separate run type usage is your Anytime Pay gross-up element.

      Caution: Including any others would cause invalid payroll results.

    Deductions

    Include appropriate deductions elements to help ensure the employee doesn't request so much pay that they have insufficient net to satisfy their deductions.

    • For estimated pay calculations, by default the process considers:

      • Employee Taxes

      • Involuntary Deductions

      • Pretax Deductions

      • Voluntary Deductions

    • For gross-up calculations, by default the process excludes:

      • Involuntary Deductions

      • Pretax Deductions

      • Voluntary Deductions

      With this configuration:

      1. The employee receives 100% of their requested payment.

      2. When you perform your regular payroll run, the process considers the full amount of the employee's pay, including the advance, to calculate their involuntary deductions.

    • You can choose to also include Involuntary and Voluntary deductions elements in the gross-up calculations.

      With this configuration:

      1. The employee doesn't get the full advance payment, as the process has included the deductions.

      2. When you run the regular payroll cycle, it appropriately reduces the amount of involuntary deductions due.

      3. It processes the third-party payments for both the advance and regular run.

    These are the predefined usages for the primary element classifications.
