Steps
to Create Payroll Wages for New Year for Payroll PurposesThe Create Payroll Wages for New Year option is accessed from within the Employee File in Payroll (and Human Resources, if applicable), and is also accessed from the Options menu in Negotiations, if applicable. The Create Payroll Wages for New Year option is used to create the selected pay codes tied to the next fiscal year for employees in the specified pay groups for payroll purposes or use with the Negotiations module.
With the Create Payroll Wages for New Year option, wages can be created for the new fiscal year with zero dollars OR the wages can be created with the previous year’s amounts if the school district needs to start paying employees before a settlement has been reached; and if needed, a new fiscal year’s wages can be deleted if the wages were created in error.
The wages created using the Create Payroll Wages for New Year option are for only employees with a status of Active that match the specified criteria (pay groups and pay codes). The Start Date on the new wages (applicable for contract pay codes only) will use the same Start Date as the previous year’s wages except with the year incremented, unless a specific Start Date is designated to be used instead. The information in the Regular Days field (applicable for contract pay codes only) will be copied across to the new wages. When creating the new wages for use in the Negotiations module, the steps for employees can also be incremented, if needed, and the information entered in the Additional Days (for contract pay codes only), Additional Dollars, Additional Percent, and Additional Degree Hours fields can be copied across to the new wages if specified to do so. When creating the new wages for use in the Payroll module, the steps for employees cannot be incremented as steps are only used with Negotiations, and the information entered in the Additional Days (for contract pay codes only), Additional Dollars, Additional Percent, and Additional Degree Hours fields will automatically be copied across to the new wages.
