Day 2

Run the Payroll Journal Report to examine Gross and Net Pay (this is an alternative to going into each employee’s pay results one at a time.)     

Run the Payroll Threshold report to check for possible payroll issues such as arrears, claims, deductions not taken, missing hours, and pay that is too high or too low. 

Run the Preemptive Compensation Data Check report to identify possible payroll issues such as missing infotypes, incorrect entries of garnishment vendors, deductions not taken (DDNTK), or wage types in arrears (ARRS). 

Run the Preemptive Time Data Check once a Time Transfer has been completed to ensure employee hours have transferred and hours are correctly entered. 

Run the Preemptive Basic Data Check Report to identify employees with missing master data in order to eliminate errors during payroll processing.

Run the Payroll Posting Report to check for accounting or funding discrepancies as well as audit LNI codes to ensure they are all coded to your agency. When running the Payroll Posting Report during Payroll Processing Days for the current period, you will need to enter the Run ID and Sequence number. The Run ID and Sequence numbers can be found at the bottom of the Payroll Cutoff Error file. 

Run the Active Employees with No Retirement Deductions Taken report (GAP 24 report) to check for any active employees who will not have retirement deductions taken for the period.  Corrections should be made to Savings Plans (0169) infotype if necessary. Refer to the Savings Plans procedures.

Run a Time Transfer to ensure all manual CAT entries are transferred for your employees. Repeat Time Transfer, as necessary.

Check for pay errors on your spool reports. Depending on your agency practice, export and save spool files as necessary.
