Payroll Wizard

Details

The Payroll Wizard takes you through pay entry and payroll processing, step-by-step. It incorporates the major tasks needed to prepare, process, post, and report on payroll information.

For a payroll to be processed through the Payroll Wizard, the Payroll Calendar must be un-posted and current.

• A Payroll Calendar cannot be "expired"– past its Pay Run Date – and be selected for processing on the Payroll Run Wizard. It needs a Pay Run Date of the current date or greater and must fall within the next two full weeks, according to the current date.
• Only Payroll Calendars with check dates within the next fifteen days and check dates less than five days prior to the current date can be processed with the Payroll Wizard.
• If a Payroll Calendar's Pay Run Date is more than two weeks away from the current date, the Payroll Calendar won't display on the Payroll Run Wizard until enough time has elapsed to cause the Pay Run Date occur within the fourteen day span.

Available payrolls are sorted by company code, then check date, then payroll calendar code. When there is only one company, the payrolls are sorted by check date, where the next check date displays at the top, and subsequent check dates display below.

Per calendar, the following information displays on the payroll selection step: company name, payroll calendar description, payroll type, thepayroll accumulators initialized, whether benefit processing has been enabled, the Payroll Group to be paid by this pay run, the pay period,the check date, payroll of the month number,and the payroll calendar code.
