Coming Soon: Payroll Accounting Adjustments with Retro Periods
During the week of January 27, a new interface will be released for Payroll Accounting Adjustments (PAA) for retroactive payroll posted on a paycheck. Once this change is made, if there is a retro pay period associated with the earnings needing to be moved, PAA Specialists will now need to select the correct retro period.
Prior to this change, budget date was the main driver of associating payroll with the pay period for which the earnings were intended. Moving forward, the Retro Period Date will associate the PAA with a pay period. The budget date will default to the budget date of the retro period.
