You can put worker payroll results on hold so that Workday won't pay them. Example: You need to prevent payment temporarily while you:
  • Await approval of a change to a worker's compensation or employment status.
  • Correct an incorrect payment amount.
  • Troubleshoot issues with pay.
You can't put a result on hold when the result status is:
  • Error
  • Pending Completion of Prior.
  • Requires Recalculation.
  1. Access the
    Pay Calculation Results for Worker
    report.
  2. From the related actions menu of the payroll result, select
    Pay Calculation
    Hold
    .
Workday holds the result until you reverse the status by repeating the process and selecting
Pay Calculation
Un Hold
.
