UPCPAY - GENERATE PAY HEADERS#

Processing Information#

This feature provides the ability to mass generate large numbers of employee pay headers. It generates one payroll at a time and a single pay header per employee for the selected pay period.

UPCPAY will only generate a ‘regular pay’ header for an employee if there is no other pay header identified as ‘regular pay’ for that period. It also will not select an employee if the hire date is greater than the period end date or if the termination date is less than the period begin date.

The pay header generator will automatically create batches and pay headers. The generated batches then become part of the normal pay cycle and may be accessed via the Batch Control (IPBE) function. This function does NOT mark generated transaction as ‘Audited’. In the same manner as any other pay header, those generated by this function must be audited (UPAUDT) before becoming eligible for calculation by UPCALC.

Those clients who need to manually enter transactions based on time sheets will use this function. Employees will be processed if they are paid Weekly, Biweekly, Semi-Monthly, or Monthly.

Pay categories are identified as ‘Regular Pay’ through the Regular Pay field on the Pay Category (IPPGU or IPPGC) form.

Terminated employees are always selected when the Termination date is within the pay period. When the 'Inc Prior Terminations' parameter is ON during the first pay period of a year, employees that were terminated in the last pay period of the prior year can be included as well. The terminated employee is included only if the employee has a least on pay in the prior year.

The Generate Pay Header of Transactions (UPCPAY) form will create the necessary batches and pay headers.
