Supplementary Pay Run

What is a Supplementary Pay Run?

A Supplementary Pay Run is an additional pay run that takes place after the main Pay Run is completed and before you start the next Pay Run. It allows you to make adjustments for any missed payments or changes, ensuring the corrections are reflected accurately.

These adjustments will be treated as earnings for the Pay Run that you most recently closed. This method also makes it possible to produce a payment file and reports that highlight the differences between the main and supplementary Pay Runs.

When would you need a Supplementary Pay Run?

Some typical scenarios where a Supplementary Pay Run would be necessary include:

• A new starter was missed from the original Pay Run.

• An employee’s additional payments, such as overtime, bonuses, or salary increases, were overlooked in the main Pay Run.

• Historic leavers that you have flagged as ‘Payment after leaving’ in their employee record.

Currently, in Staffology Payroll, you can resolve these issues by reopening the Pay Run, adding the missing items, and then re-closing it. However, this process does not allow you to generate reports that show just the adjustments made. A Supplementary Pay Run will streamline this process and add more flexibility to payroll management.
