Special Pay Run Employee Selection

The Special Pay Run Employee Selection allows a means of loading all or selective employees for processing under a special pay period. Only the employees listed for a special pay period will be processed when the special pay period is run through the payroll stream.

Normally Terminated and On Leave employees will be omitted both from employee selection as well as payroll run time under special pay periods. When field 'Allow Timesheet/Retro for Inactives', under the Users Specific Parameters Profile is active, you can add Terminated and On Leave employees to a special pay run without reactivating them.

This process may be run multiple times for the same special pay period to allow exact employee selections. Employees selected that already exist in the special pay will be reported as already existing. The Special Pay Run Purge Process can be used to remove any unwanted employees.
