Entering Prior Period Adjustments for a Punch Employee as a Time & Absence Approver

   Overview   

Employees cannot make edits to their timesheets after payroll has already run. Supervisors and Time & Absence Approvers must make these types of adjustments. A prior period adjustment can be performed for up to 28 days, and within the same calendar year. Beyond that, a request will need to be submitted to central payroll. Once the adjustment is entered on the timesheet, the system calculates the adjustment and will pay the difference on the next pay cycle.

Prior period adjustments can be both negative and positive amounts:

  • Positive Prior Period Adjustment Ex: An employee worked 8 additional hours. These hours can be added to the previous pay period.
  • Negative Prior Period Adjustment Ex.: An employee missed 8 hours of work but forgot to remove the hours from the timesheet. These hours can be deducted from the previous pay period.
