Use

You can use this function to run regular payroll on demand for a specific employee for a payroll period. You conduct this 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 is employed in your enterprise.

Integration

If you want to run off-cycle payroll for an employee for several payroll periods, do not run regular on demand payroll. Instead, make an advance payment.

Prerequisites

The standard system already contains an off-cycle reason for payroll on demand. You can, if required, set up your own off-cycle reason in Customizing for Payroll. Choose Off-Cycle Activities ® Set Up Off-Cycle Reasons. You must assign the reason to the category On demand.

Features

If you choose this reason when you are in the Off-Cycle Workbench, the system offers you the next period for which payroll is to be run for the employee. The system then carries out on demand payroll for this period.
