FAQ: Retro Results
- Why does Workday display a retro difference for a pay component that isn't related to the supported change I entered?
- The retro pay calculation found another supported retroactive change and displays all retro differences.
- Why doesn't Workday adjust a pay component for a pay period?
- Workday doesn't adjust a pay component if you add it as an override amount for the period using payroll input.
- Can I reverse a zero pay result created by retro leave of absence?
- You can't reverse a zero pay result. However, you can remove it by canceling the retro result that contains the retro leave event.
- After retroactively terminating a worker, how can I resolve a negative net pay period due to negative retro differences?
- For Payroll for Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the U.S., you can resolve a negative net pay in one of these ways:
- Creating an earning or deduction of the same amount that resolves the pay period to a zero net pay.
- Canceling the retro result and setting the No Retro Processing Prior To date after the termination date.
- Suspending the retro result.
- For Payroll for France, you can use these Workday-delivered pay components to resolve a negative net pay due to negative retro differences:
- Negative Net Pay Advance [FRA]
- Repayment of Previous Negative Net Salary [FRA]
- For Payroll for Ireland, use theIRL Adds to Net [IRL]earning to resolve a negative net pay.
- Why does retro processing include unsupported retro events that you’ve rescinded or canceled?
- Retro processing picks up both supported and unsupported events regardless of whether you've canceled or rescinded them. As a consequence, canceling or rescinding an unsupported retro event won’t change the status of the retro result to supported.
