Resetting the pay dates for a current open pay
When creating a Current Pay in Exo Payroll it is necessary to set the Pay Period End Date as well as the Physical Pay Date. This gives Exo Payroll a record of the pay period dates as well as recording the physical payment date for the records.
There are times of the year, such as Christmas and New Years, when you need to change the dates for your regular pay cycle to fit the pay in for a shut-down period or a long weekend. When creating the pay you can change the dates at that time however, it may be that you wish to change the dates after you have opened the current pay.
To do this you would need to clear the pay for all of the employee's who are in the Current Pay.
Before resetting the pay date:
- Make a note of the correct date that you wish to create the pay for
- Make a backup of the company data in case of any issues
- Click on the Reset button in the Current Pay.
- Select 'Clear this employees Current Pay.
- Click OK.
- Do this for all employees in the current pay then finalise the pay as per your normal payroll procedure.
As the pay has been cleared for all of the employees, the payroll will not save any information for them for this pay. After the pay has been updated, you will be able to recreate the pay with the dates that you wish to use. You can then process the pay as you normally do.
