Paychecks and Adjustments

Form ID: (PR302000)

By using this form, you perform various operations related to paychecks. The ability to perform an operation depends on the payment type and its status. Only one regular paycheck per pay period is allowed, but multiple adjustments and special paychecks can be created for the same period.

By using the standard copy-and-paste options in the Clipboard menu, you can create a copy of any paycheck of the Regular, Final, Special, or Adjustment type regardless of its status. The copied document can be pasted to a new paycheck of any type. The new document will be assigned the Pending Calculation status.

You can delete paychecks with the On Hold, Pending Calculation, and Pending Payment statuses.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard buttons and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.

Table 1. Table Buttons
Command Description
Add to Payment Batch Navigates to the Create Payroll Payment (PR505000) form to create a check or a direct deposit batch for the selected document.
Calculate

Calculates taxes, PTO banks, benefits and deductions, as well as overtime, on the selected document and changes the status of the document from Pending Calculation to Pending Payment or Added to Payment Batch.

When you calculate a final paycheck, the relevant PTO banks may be automatically disbursed, depending on the settlement rules specified for the particular PTO bank on the PTO Banks (PR204000) form. As a result, the system may insert on the Earning tab additional earnings detail lines with disbursed PTO hours and amounts. A warning will be displayed next to each of these lines.

Create ROE

Opens the Record of Employment (PR303000) form populated with the details of the final paycheck.

This command appears only for a paycheck of the Final type with the Released status and only if the Canadian Payroll feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Print Pay Stub

Runs the Pay Stub report for the paycheck.

This command is available only for a document with the Released status.

Put on Hold Assigns the paycheck the On Hold status which indicates that the document may be edited but cannot be released.
Release

Posts summary amounts to payroll, creates GL transactions, and prints the GL posting journal.

Note: You cannot release a final paycheck if the employee has released paychecks for pay periods that follow the pay period of the final paycheck; if this is the case, you first need to void all these paychecks to be able to release the final paycheck.

This command is available only for a document with the Paid status.

Void

Voids the payment by posting opposite transactions to the ledger and reversing the paycheck.

This command is available only for a document with the Released, Liability Partially Paid, or Closed status.

Summary Area

You use the elements in this area to define a paycheck or an adjustment.

Element Description
Type The type of the paycheck, which can be one of the following options:
  • Regular: Paychecks of this type are used for a normal pay run. An employee may have only one regular paycheck per pay period. If a paycheck already exists for a pay period and you want to create another paycheck for this period, the system gives you the choice either to view the existing paycheck or continue editing, in which case you will have to select a different pay period.
  • Special: Paychecks of this type are used for specific payments, such as bonuses. An employee may have as many special paychecks as necessary for one pay period.
  • Adjustment: Paychecks of this type can have negative and positive amounts. You can also adjust paid time off (PTO) by using this type of paycheck. The transactions created when an adjustment paycheck is released impact the general ledger in a usual way. You can edit any value of an adjustment paycheck and release it to update the value in the employee record.
  • Voiding Paycheck: A paycheck of this type appears when you void a paycheck. A voiding paycheck has the same amounts as the voided paycheck but with the opposite sign.
  • Final: A paycheck of this type is used for a final settlement with an employee whose employment in the company has been terminated. You need to specify the termination date and termination reason for this paycheck; this information will be synchronized with the employment history of the employee.
Reference Number The unique identifier for this payment.
Status The current status of the payment, which can be one of the following:
  • On Hold: The document is a draft—it can be edited but not released. This is the default status for new documents if the Hold Paycheck on Entry check box is selected on the Payroll Preferences (PR101000) form.
  • Pending Calculation: The document can be edited with this status. You click the Calculate command on the More menu to change the document status.
  • Pending Payment: A paycheck has been calculated, but a check has not been printed and an ACH batch has not been generated.
  • Added to Payment Batch: The paycheck has been processed and an associated payment batch has been created.

    You can make changes to a paycheck with this status, although you cannot modify the specified payment method and cash account. After the changes are saved, the status of the paycheck changes to Pending Calculation, and then, after the calculation, the information is correspondingly updated in the associated payment batch and the status of the paycheck changes again to Added to Payment Batch.

  • Paid: The associated payment batch has been paid and you can release the paycheck. You can edit the accounts and subaccounts specified on the Earning Details tab.
  • Released: The paycheck is released. That is, a payroll transaction is created and posted to the general ledger. A document with this status cannot be edited but can be voided.
  • Liability Partially Paid: The liabilities created by the paycheck are partially processed to be converted to AP bills. A document with this status can be voided.
  • Closed: All the liabilities linked with this paycheck have been processed to be converted to AP bills. A document with this status can be voided.
  • Voided: The paycheck has been voided. Only a document with the Released, Liability Partially Paid, or Closed status can be voided.
Pay Group The pay group, which is a filter for the list of employees available for selection and the source of default settings for the pay period.

Earning Tab

By using this tab, you can specify the data on earnings and hours for the paycheck. Based on these settings, taxes, deductions, benefits, and PTO accruals can be calculated and included.

When a final paycheck is calculated, the system may insert—depending on the settlement rules specified for the relevant PTO banks on the PTO Banks (PR204000) form—additional earnings detail lines with disbursed PTO hours and amounts. A warning will be displayed next to each of these lines.

By using the Import Time Activities button, you can add to the paycheck the released time activities that are available for the employee and that belong to the pay period. In an imported record, you can edit the number of hours, the branch, the location, the account and subaccount, and the rate of an earning detail record that is linked with a time activity, but the information on the linked time activity will not be updated as a result. The system allows importing time activities with negative time specified but you cannot save or calculate a paycheck of the Regular or Special type with negative time activities. If an earning record with zero hours is linked with a time activity, it is included in the paycheck as well. If you delete an earning record that is associated with a time activity, the time activity becomes available for import again.

The amount is calculated automatically when the Manual Amount check box is cleared. You can change the amount for an unreleased paycheck, in which case the Manual Amount check box becomes selected.

This box appears only if Salaried Exempt or Salaried Non-Exempt is selected in the Employee Type box.
