RETROPAY Processing

Run the RetroPay process to ensure that your payroll run for the current period reflects
any backdated payments or deductions.
The RetroPay process is run in the current pay period and the employee is entitled to payments
that represent the backdated amounts for each of the preceding payroll periods as arrears and the
payments for the current payroll period.

We will see here the step by Step procedure to set up RetroPay By Element Process.

1. Create the Retroactive element. Make sure that the element is Non-recurring and the
Multiple Entry allowed is checked.

2. Create a Element Link with the same link criteria and costing information as the
parent elements.
3. Create an event group with event group type of ‘Retro’ alongwith following
parameters.

4. Attach the Retro elements and the event Group to the Parent Elements in the
Recalculation tab of the Element Description window.
 5. Create an element set containing all the elements eligible for retropayments.

This ends the setup required to run the RetroPay By Element Process.

Now we will see an exercise to run the RetroPay process.

1. Create an employee as of Today’s Date. Enter the assignement and Salary Info for the
employee.
2. Run the Payroll process for the employee for the month of August, September,
October.

3. Datetrack to 1st September and correct the Salary for the employee.

4. Create an assignment set to include the employee created.

5. Run the RetroPay by Element Process for the employee with the following
parameters.
6. Once the RetroPay process is complete, go to ViewPayroll Process Results
and verify that the RetroPay process is complete without any error.

7. Query the employee and go to the AssignmentEntries and validate that the
employee has the Retro elemet entry for the November month.
The Retroactive
