Regular Payroll-on-Demand You use this function to run regular payroll-on-demand for a specific employee for a payroll period. You carry out this off-cycle payroll run independently of the regular payroll run for the payroll area to which the employee is assigned.
Example
An employee is hired shortly before the payroll date. The employee’s data cannot be processed in time for it to be included in the regular payroll run. You can use the
Off-Cycle Workbench
to run regular on-demand payroll for the employee, even if the regular payroll run for the payroll area has already taken place. You do not have to wait until the next regular payroll run for the whole payroll area.
You have hired a new employee. Instead of receiving his or her first pay at the end of the first payroll period, the new employee is to be paid at the start of his period of employment. In the
Off-Cycle Workbench
, you can run regular on-demand payroll for the first period in which he or she is employed in your organization.
Caution
On-demand payroll should be used cautiously as the normal payroll checks on the payroll control record are not made in this situation. That is, the payroll status of the employee's payroll area is not taken into account.
Care must be taken to ensure that the employee is correctly accounted for not only in payroll, but also in follow-up activities such as data medium exchange (bank transfers) and posting to the SAP
Financial Accounting
(FI) and
Controlling
(CO) solutions.
