Complete Retro Results for Workers

Complete Retro Results for Workers

  • Review the retro results.
  • Ensure that no on-cycle payroll processes are running for any pay groups.
  • Ensure that no on-demand replacements payments are in progress for the period you want to complete.
  • Security:
    Process: Run Batch Complete (Retro Complete)
     domain in Core Payroll functional area.
You can use the
Retro Calculation Processing Report
 to:
  • Complete retro results for workers that you select from a pay group.
  • Identify unpulled retro results (a worker's retro result without a target payroll result).
  • Create on-demand additional payments based on retro results.
You can't use retro results as inputs to on-demand additional payments for workers that already have either:
  • A priority 1 on-demand additional payment for the same period.
  • An
    In Progress
     pay result that includes forwarded retro differences.
  • An associated regular payroll that's complete.
Workday recommends that you don't enter any additional pay components for OMWJ workers after creating off-cycles using the
Retro Calculation Processing Report
, as retro doesn't apply the additional pay components according to your OMWJ splits after you've override the worktags.
