What Do I Do When a Time Record is in Error Status?
When you change a processed time record, the application changes the status of the time record and any other time record associated with the employee to Error. You must then re-run the Earnings and Deductions Calculation to recalculate deductions and net pay before the payment can be printed.
If there are current status time records which the application cannot process, the time records are automatically placed in error status, requiring manual intervention before the payroll process can be completed. You can flag the application to bypass and delete error status time records, permitting processing to continue on the remainder of the time records. A report of time deleted time records is produced so the user can make necessary corrections and process the payments in a separate payroll run, or as manual payments.
Example
Dawn just completed processing of the Earnings and Deductions Calculation for the River Bend Restaurant and Grove Cafe processing group. She realizes that Julie Anderson's hours were keyed incorrectly as 40 regular hours instead of 32 regular and 8 vacation hours. Therefore, Dawn goes back to Julie's time record and makes the necessary changes. The time record for the regular hours, updated to Processed by the Earnings and Deductions Calculation, is automatically changed to Error status. Therefore, the Earnings and Deductions Calculation must be re-run to pick up the changes before the payments are printed.
