Earnings Exception Entry (PRE120)

Use this program to enter exceptions to an employee’s pay cycle earnings information for the current payroll.

Employees are paid based on the information created by the Initialize Pay Cycle program. If a pay check should differ from the standard amount, an exception entry must be made. Exceptions to deductions are entered through the Deductions Exception Entry program. Exceptions to earnings are entered through the Earnings Exception Entry (this program).

These exceptions override the standard for the current payroll only. For example, if time is to be posted to sick or vacation time, an exception entry must be made for that time AND to reduce the number of regular hours worked.

You can change earnings information in this program. To review the earnings entered, you can run the Earnings List.

Once all exceptions (earnings and deductions) are entered, the Pre-Check Edit List program should be run to calculate check amounts and provide you with a tool for reviewing prior to printing checks.
