Cut-Off Processing for Absences and Recurring Payments

You can valuate employees’ absence and pay the recurring payment based on different periods other than regular payroll periods during payroll run. With this function, payments to an employee correspond to his or her actual working status.

  • Valuate absences that occur entirely within the current cut-off period

    During the payroll run, if an employee has an absence that does not fall in the cut-off period, the system saves the absence in the corresponding carryover wage type, and will valuate it in the next payroll period. The carryover wage type is in the TWOT section of the payroll log.

  • If the recurring payment is adjusted in the current cut-off period, calculate the correct payment amount by proration.

Cut-off processing for absence valuation and recurring payments are independent of each other. You can use either or both of them.
