This job aid outlines the process for a Payroll Partner to adjust calculated time for an hourly Employee. This process overrides the hours or calculation tags that were entered by the Employee or generated by calculations within Workday.
Adjust Calculated Time
Prerequisites
Time must be entered for an Employee within the week an adjustment is going to be made.
Important Information
- Prior to making the adjustment, Run Calculations must be completed for the week an adjustment will be made or time may not pay correctly.
- Once an adjustment has been completed, calculations cannot run on that week’s time.
- If a correction on an adjustment is needed, the Payroll Partner will need to revert the changes, Run Calculations, and start the process from the beginning.
