Concept: Retro End Additional Job (CAN)

Concept: Retro End Additional Job (CAN)

You can run a retro pay calculation to recalculate prior period results for a worker with multiple jobs when:
  • An additional job ends.
  • You correct or rescind the ending of an additional job.

What Workday Process

When you retroactively end an additional job for a worker and run a retro pay calculation, Workday process:
  • The worker's pay results until the end date for the additional job.
  • Any other supported retro events that you enter for them.
For midperiod job end dates, Workday create subperiods and prorates the pay component amounts when you configure it.
When you retroactively end an additional job for a worker with multiple jobs, you can:
  • Process their retro differences in the current on-cycle pay result for their primary position if their primary position is in the same company as their additional job.
  • Create an on-demand additional payment to process retro differences for an ended job in a different company than their primary position.

Negative Pay Periods

Worker's with retroactive job end dates can have negative retro differences, which can result in negative net pay for a pay period. You can resolve negative net pay by suspending the retro result or offsetting it with a memo earning.
Example
Haley has an additional job that is in the same pay group as her primary job, but for a different company. At the additional job, Haley receive pay of 5,000 twice a month and prorated by calendar days. Haley’s additional job ends on September 9, but the payroll partner processes the End Job task on September 16. Workday already processed Haley’s 5,000 payment for the September 1-15 pay period.
After you run the retro pay calculation, you’ll need to process an on-demand additional payment for Haley’s retro differences because the ended additional job was in a different company (See: Concept: Retro Events from Other Companies (CAN, USA)). Workday creates subperiods and generates a negative 2,000 retro difference.
