Retroactive pay rate changes

When a retroactive pay rate change is made, an Employee Retroactive Pay Change record is created.

  • Payroll must be enabled.
  • This record applies to both hourly and salaried rate changes on the work assignment. There are no changes to the pay rate type.
  • An Employee Retroactive Pay Change record is created if time records exist that are in a Closed By Payroll status or a Current Cycle status. The employee must be locked for a payroll cycle. Time records must have a time record date that is after the effective date of the pay rate change.
  • The Employee Retroactive Pay Change record is created in a Not Processed status.

The Employee Retroactive Pay Change record is the foundation for the retroactive pay calculation.

  • This record includes the old pay rate, new pay rate, and the difference between these rates.
  • The system captures and processes retroactive work assignment changes to shift, FTE, annual hours, pay frequency, and pay rate type.
  • The system captures and processes retroactive other rate changes to alternate rates and add on rates.
  • When the Calculate Retroactive Pay action is run, the record status is changed to In Batch. You must specify the batch number.
  • When the batch is released, the record status is changed to Processed. If an error is encountered or no retroactive pay is due, the record status is changed to On Hold.
