Payroll Transaction Entry - Negative Payroll Transactions allows you to enter negative pay code transactions in order to reverse earnings on previous payroll runs. This allows managers to reverse incorrectly paid earnings for previous periods or to make other necessary adjustments. (See Figure 1)
Reporting—Negative Payroll Transactions entered in the Transaction Entry window will affect all core payroll reports including the Department Posting Journal and Position Posting Journal. (See Figure 2)
Integration into financials— Negative Payroll Transactions entered through payroll transaction entry will flow through the entire financial posting process. (See Figure 3)

NOTE: There are a couple of rare instances in which negative pay should not be used. In these cases, the amounts may not calculate correctly:
Pay codes with different federal/state/local tax codes—The flat or additional amount tax deduction calculates unexpectedly if based solely on the pay code in the negative transaction.
Deductions and benefits—Fixed amount deductions and benefits calculate unexpectedly if the deduction/benefit is based solely on the pay code in the negative transaction.
