Common issues regarding changes to an employee status 

(other than termination)

1. Change in employee pay frequency.  
   

1. Go to Payroll – Employees – Modify Existing Employees
   
2. Select employee 
   
3. Click on Positions tab and Wage sub tab 
   
4. Change the Pay Period Frequency to the new appropriate frequency.  This is very important as it controls the tax calculation for the employee 
   

2. Ending a Pay Code for an employee.  If an employee will no longer be earning or having a deduction/benefit made on a specific pay code, it should be terminated.
   

1. Go to Payroll – Employees – Modify Existing Employees
   
2. Select employee 
   
3. Click on Pay Codes tab and click the pencil to edit pay code 
   
4. Enter an End date on the employee or employer tab as appropriate.  The end date MUST be at least 1 day after the check issue date the pay code was used on last.  For example, if health insurance was last withheld/calculated for the employee on the 4/13/19 payroll and the check issue date of that payroll is 4/19/19, the end date must be 4/20/19 or later. This date may need to be recorded on both the employee and employer tabs of the pay code.  
   

3. Starting a Pay Code for an employee.  If an employee will begin be a new earning/deduction/benefit, it may require a begin date.  The most common reason for a begin date on a pay code is if an existing employee becomes eligible for retirement or social security/medicare at a time other than upon hire.  A begin date will allow the system to accurately calculate the wage that are subject to retirement/social security/medicare.
   

1. Go to Payroll – Employees – Modify Existing Employees
   
2. Select employee 
   
3. Click on Pay Codes tab and click the pencil to edit pay code (assumes you have already added it to the employee)
   
4. Enter a Begin date on the employee or employer tab as appropriate.  The begin date should be the date the employee became eligible but MUST be at least 1 day after the last check issue date in which the employee was not eligible.  For example, an employee became eligible for retirement starting on the 4/14/19 payroll.  The prior payroll eneded on 4/13/19 payroll and the check issue date of that payroll was 4/19/19, the begin date must be 4/20/19 or later. This date may need to be recorded on both the employee and employer tabs of the pay code.
