GENERATE PAY TRANSACTIONS#

The Generate Pay Transactions (UPTG) form is used to create pay transactions for a selected number of employees based on their work rule definition.

Generation of batches of Pay Transactions is done for:

  • a specified payroll;
  • a set of employees within the payroll that match the report parameters;
  • a specified pay period or a date range within the specified pay period; or
  • a specified pay category.

For more information on how to run the UPTG please see the page GENERATE PAY TRANSACTIONS.
