The Payroll Calculation process performs the "number crunching" necessary to generate a payroll. The process brings together data from pay records, deductions, and benefits for each individual selected for the current payroll. It determines the gross pay, applicable deduction and benefit amounts, appropriate taxes to withhold, and the net pay amount for each employee.
If necessary, the calculation process provides an exception report that identifies fatal situations that will not allow the payroll process to continue, as well as providing other useful information.
Payroll Worksheets and Substitute Tracking
Any required changes should be made in these areas rather than in the Payroll Selected Transactions screen.
The Payroll Calculate process looks at the Worksheet area and at the Substitute Tracking area for data (not the Payroll Selected Transactions screen).
Pay Records (Non-Contract or Contract)
Changes can be made in the Payroll Selected Transactions screen.
Example:
One pay record for an employee needs a different earning period.
The earning period can be changed in the Payroll Selected Transactions screen and that date will be used instead of the date entered in the Current Payroll Selection Parameters screen.
