Concept: Cancel a Retro Pay Calculation

Concept: Cancel a Retro Pay Calculation

You can use the
Run Retro Pay Cancel
 task to cancel retro results for pay groups or pay run groups:
  • When no on-cycle payroll processes are running for any pay groups.
  • Before the results have a
    Complete
     status.
Example: Janet is on unpaid leave in the current pay period and is back on the next period. You enter a retro event that generates a negative pay result on her current payroll. You can cancel the retro result to process the differences in her next pay period.
When you cancel retro results, Workday updates the workers':
  • No Retro Processing Prior To date to the value before you ran retro.
  • Retro pay calculation status to
    Not Yet Started
    .
After you adjust entries for the pay group such as with payroll inputs and rerun retro, Workday processes the events again.
