Concept: Next Period On-Demand Payments

The current pay period is July 20 through August 2. You plan to complete the period on August 5. The pay date is August 7.

Max is involuntarily terminated on August 4. You need to pay him immediately for the current period, and for August 3 to August 4 in the next period. To generate final payroll for Max:

Run an on-demand replacement payment for Max in the current period.
Complete this payment.
Run an on-demand replacement payment for Max in the next period.
Complete the next period on-demand payment.

Before you can create a next period on-demand payment for a worker, you must complete that worker's pay results in the current period and prior periods. After you've created the next period payment for a worker:

You can't reverse the worker's next, current, or prior period pay results until the next period becomes the current
In Progress
period.
Payroll for Ireland doesn't support payment reversals.
You can't create a new prior period result for the worker until the next period becomes the current
In Progress
period.

When a worker has current period pay results in multiple run categories, you only need to complete the result that's in the same run category as the next period on-demand payment.

Next period results that are still

In Progress

when you complete the current period become current period results when you recalculate them after the next period has moved from

Opened for Off-Cycles

to

In Progress

.

Canceling new pay results in the next period doesn't affect next period on-demand payments you've already completed.

When you create a next period on-demand payment, Workday assigns the

Opened for Off-Cycles

calculation status to the period. This status indicates that there is at least 1 on-demand payment in the period. Workday changes the next period status from:

Opened for Off-Cycles
to
In Progress
after you complete the current period and create a new on-cycle or off-cycle result in the next period.
In Progress
to
Opened for Off-Cycles
when you cancel next period results. Workday doesn't cancel results created as next period on-demand payments that have a status of
In Progress
or
Completed
.
Opened for Off-Cycles
to
Not Yet Started
when you cancel all next period on-demand payments.

When the next period is in

Opened for Off-Cycles

status, canceling all results in the current period leaves the current period status

In Progress

. If enabled, Workday pauses continuous payroll calculation for the current period.

An

Opened for Off-Cycles

subprompt to the

Period

prompt is available on tasks and reports that enable you to process next period on-demand payments. The subprompt:

Displays only when a next period on-demand payment exists.
Includes only periods with the status
Opened for Off-Cycles
.

By default, Workday pays retro differences in the current pay period. But when a worker has a completed off-cycle result in the current period, you can target the next open period. Example: The current pay period is March. You run and complete an on-demand replacement payment for Mary to process a retro compensation change. You open April to on-demand payments. Mary is also due a retro bonus that you want to pay in April. You can update the target period:

On an individual retro result by selecting
Retro Pay Calculation
Update
from the related actions menu. You can then complete the retro result and the on-demand payment.
By default for all retro results by selecting the
Target Next Period When Current Period Replacement Payment is Complete
check box on the
Edit Tenant Setup - Payroll
task. Workday advances the target period when the completed off-cycle result is in the primary pay group.
