Access the

Maintain Pay Anomalies Configuration

task.

(Optional) From the

Pay Calculation Usage

section, enter:

Option	Description
Pay Calculation for Total Hours	Pay calculations as part of total hours. It can include but isn't limited to regular, overtime, PTO, and holiday hours. This field has been added in preparation for future enhancements, but doesn't interact with the Pay Anomalies report yet.

(Optional) In the

Audit Schedule

section, enter:

Option	Description
Days from Period End Date to Payroll Audit Start Date	The number of days from the period end date to the day when auditing begins. Workday uses the auditing date since all payroll-impacting inputs are submitted and there are no further changes to payroll. You can enter a negative value to indicate it's before the period end date or a positive value to indicate it's after the period end date. Example: With pay period 1/1-1/14, entering -4 implies you typically begin payroll audit on 1/9.
