Payroll

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

Check the Payroll Cutoff Errors for your agency's errors. Employees on these lists will be locked out of final payroll processing if left uncorrected. Match the specific type of error in the error list to the Common  Redline,  ALAS, or  RPCIPE Error documents for further instructions to correct the error(s). 

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

Process any pending offcycle-workbench entries. Payroll Day 0 is the Off-cycle Workbench cutoff. The Off-cycle Workbench will not be available again until payroll processing has completed (Payroll Day 4). 

Remind employees and supervisors of approaching payroll cutoff. Employees should have all leave requests entered for the period and supervisors should finish processing leave requests accordingly.  

Run the Corrections and Returns Report to identify employees who have a rejection of their direct deposit information from their financial institution. To correct a Bank Details (0009) infotype record, refer to the  Bank Details - Copy and Update Record user procedure.
