Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes

Retroactive pay is the recalculation of prior payroll results due to changes that occurred after you ran the original calculation. To process retroactive pay, run the Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes process.

This process never overwrites historical payroll data. Instead, it creates one or more retroactive entries to receive the process results.

For further info, see How the Payroll Process Calculates Retroactive Pay for the US in the Help Center.

Note: Only elements that you have configured to include a retroactive event group can have retroactive element entries.

When verifying your payroll readiness, use this process to create retroactive element entries based on retroactive events. You normally run it immediately before starting a payroll run. If you run it after the Calculate Payroll process, it holds the retroactive adjustments until the next payroll period.

This process can run automatically as part of your payroll flow, or you can run it manually.

To run this process:

1. From My Client Groups, click Payroll.

2. Click Submit a Flow.

3. Select your US legislative data group.

4. Search for and select Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes.

Before You Start
