What Kinds of Payroll History Modifications are not Performed Through Adjustments?

Payroll does not let you create an adjustment with a positive effect on net pay. Therefore, you must use a manual payment method to make the following types of modifications to payroll history:

  • Refunds of deductions

  • Creating an additional payment for an employee

  • Recording a Payroll payment made through accounts payable

Creating manual payments

Do not use an adjustment for adjustments to Life Insurance Reportable Income. Instead, update the value of Life Insurance Reportable Income to the employee record by using a non-cash pay code and the Life Insurance Reportable Income update program as part of the normal payroll cycle. You have the option to create time records every pay period, monthly, or yearly.

Update taxable relocation, personal use of a company car, prizes and awards, and other non-cash types of payroll items to the employee record using a non-cash pay code instead of through adjustments.

Update cash awards to the employee record and paid to the employee using pay codes with an additional flat rate calculation type.

Note: This method applies only to a full refund of the payment, not a partial refund.

Void a repayment to an employer from an employee for the entire net amount of a payment not due to the employee, even if the payment has already been reconciled.
