3354179 - SETTING UP OFF-CYCLE TIME SHEET PROCESSING

Symptom

Off-Cycle Timesheet Processing allows for a timesheet to be paid out immediately, out of sync with the normal End of Period Processing. When set up, a timesheet is marked for Off-Cycle processing through the Approval screen. A "Pay Now" button will be available, and when checked indicates that time sheet should be included with the next Off-Cycle Export.

The time sheet is locked and exported, and closed through a separate interface for "Off-Cycle" on the End of Period Processing screen.

Be aware that these two parts of the functionality are separate, and defined by user role. So a user can have access to mark a time sheet for Off-Cycle processing on the approval screen without having access to the EOPP and Off Cycle processing screens. Determining what user roles should have each level of access is important, and will be necessary in the configuration steps below.

Setting up Off-Cycle processing is fairly straightforward from the configuration. Before completing this in an instance, the customer must be sure that their payroll system is able to handle this process and receiving information out of sync with the normal schedule. So long as there is no process issues, this can be configured.

IMPORTANT: Off Cycle is not supported for Multiple Assignments until 18.2 or later. Trying to set this up for 18.1 or earlier will result in undesired behavior, as outlined in "Pay Now Check Box" or "Approval Check Box/Status" Column is Blank.
