Configure the Anytime Pay Flow for the US

When an employee requests an advance payment, the Pay Advance Flow starts a series of tasks.

  1. Process Pay Advance

  2. Calculate QuickPay Prepayments

  3. Archive Periodic Results

  4. Make EFT Payments

  5. Generate Payslips

These are all automatic tasks, so the flow can process requests without your intervention. This helps ensure it remits the funds to the employee as quickly as possible.

How to Create a Separate Payment Flow

By default, the Anytime Pay flow produces an EFT file for each request. To group the payments into a single EFT file:

  1. Create a copy of the Anytime Pay flow.

  2. Edit your copy, and remove the last two tasks.

  3. Create a payment flow that includes these tasks.

    • Make EFT Payments

    • Generate Payslips

    Note: If you want to issue notifications to the employee, you can't create this payment flow from scratch. Instead, make a copy of the predefined flow and remove any unwanted tasks.

  4. Use Flow Connector to configure your payment flow so it processes only prepayments generated by your Anytime Pay flow.

    Be sure both flows use the same consolidation set.

    For further info, see Considerations to Consider Flow Connectors in the Help Center.

  5. Schedule the payment flow to run at the end of each day.

How You Can Add Tasks

To configure the flow to meet your business needs:

  1. Use the Payroll Flow Patterns task to create a copy of the flow into your legislative data group (LDG).

  2. Edit the copied flow to include whatever additional tasks you require.

  3. Select your flow as the Pay Advance Override Flow Pattern on your payroll statutory unit.

    For further info, see Configure Your Anytime Pay Individual Compensation Plan for the US on the Help Center.

For example, you can add a manual task that requires an administrator to verify the process prior to producing the electronic funds transfer (EFT) file.
