Concept: Suspended Retro Results

Concept: Suspended Retro Results

You can use the
Retro Calculation Processing Report
to suspend retro results for workers you select from a pay group to:
  • Temporarily exclude workers' retro results from on-cycle and off-cycle calculations.
  • Review and correct the suspended results.
Example: You terminate Eric retroactively, but have already paid his earnings until the current pay period. When you run retro, Workday generates a difference for the overpaid amount. You want to review that amount, so you suspend his retro result to exclude it from his on-cycle result.
When you suspend retro results, Workday updates the workers':
  • Retro processing status to
    Suspended Retro to exclude
    .
  • Pay calculation status to
    Requires ReCalc due to Retro
    .
  • No Retro Processing Prior To (NRPPT) date to 1 day after the end date of the last completed pay period. When you cancel suspended retro results, Workday moves the NRPPT date back to the date before the suspension.
You can bring back the suspended retro results by canceling them and rerunning retro. When you complete the retro period, you can no longer cancel suspended results. To process them, cancel the completed retro before canceling the suspended results.
