Adding a Prior Period Adjustment

1. Confirm Pay Period Closure

  • Ensure that the time summary and expenses for the pay period are closed.

  • Please note that locking a pay period is reversible, but closing a pay period is not. PPA is used in cases where the pay period is closed.

  • Navigate to the affected employee’s timecard.

2. Enable Retro Modifications

  • Since the pay period is locked/closed, edits cannot be made directly.

  • Turn on the Allow Retro Modifications toggle to enable adjustments.

3. Add the Adjustment

  • Enter the necessary adjustment (e.g., a forgotten punch).

  • Verify that the pending differences appear correctly.

Exporting Prior Period Adjustments

1. Click “Export”

  • Select the pay period to which the adjustment should be exported.

  • Click Export to process the adjustment.

2. Verify the Timecard Update

  • Check the timecard that the prior period adjustment was exported to, to confirm that the adjustment has been recorded.

  • The adjustment should be labeled as a Prior Period Adjustment with the updated hours.

Reviewing Prior Period Adjustments in Payroll

  1. View Payroll Data

    • In the payroll view, adjustments will be listed separately from regular payroll and expenses.

    • This helps differentiate standard payroll processing from adjustments made after the pay period closure.

  2. Exporting Prior Period Adjustments for Payroll Processing

    • Each pay period, prior period adjustments need to be exported separately.

    • If adjustments need to be processed on a different timetable, you can export them individually.

    • Select all pending PPAs, click Export, and generate the file.

  3. Tracking Export Status

    • A red notification bubble indicates pending exports.

    • Once exported, the pending adjustments count will reset.

    • Adjustments can be re-exported if necessary.

Please Note:

  • PPA is a complex module and should be used sparingly. Please reach out to support@findd.io if you require further training on this module.

  • PPA's function as expenses but are categorized distinctly.

  • Exporting adjustments ensures they are properly accounted for in payroll processing.

  • The system tracks whether an adjustment has been exported, preventing duplicate submissions.
