The Payroll Cycle

Payroll Cycle Overview

The payroll cycle is a user friendly series of tasks designed to guide the practitioner through their payroll entries. Most tasks will be used every payroll.

Note: The Add New Hires and Enter Employee Changes may not be required each pay.

Starting Point: Process > Payroll > Payroll Cycle or Start New Cycle There are six steps in the payroll cycle outlined in the following chart:

(18)

PAYROLL PART 1 FOR ADP WORKFORCE NOW® MODULE 1 - PROCESSING BASIC PAYROLL

 2015 ADP, LLC 13 1-6 W002_ILT_WFN80V02_0415

Overview of the Icons in the Workforce Now Payroll Cycle

The icons in the following graphic correspond to the six steps identified in the Workforce Now payroll cycle:

The following table describes the purpose of each of these icons:

Icon Description

Start New Cycle Clears all temporary information from previous pay periods and advances the cycle to the next pay period. Once the cycle has been started, the icon reads Cycle Started and it is grayed out.

You cannot start a new cycle unless the previous cycle is complete and there is no active user lock for the company. You must also accept the payroll before you start a new cycle.

Note: A schedule must exist in order to start a new cycle.

Add New Hires Accesses the New Hire Wizards. These wizards contain step-by-step instructions to walk practitioners through the required fields to hire a new employee. There is also a Quick Hire Wizard to help speed up this process.

Note: You can also import new hires. Enter Employee

Changes

Used to enter permanent employee changes.

Note: Changes can also be imported or entered though self service entry. Examples: Address changes, direct deposit changes or pay rate changes.

Enter Paydata Contains three options: Current Pay, Payment Adjustment and EI History. Data can be manually keyed or imported into paydata. When the cycle is closed, the icon reads "View Paydata", when it is open it reads "Enter Paydata."

Examples: Entry of Hours, one-time deductions, manual cheque updates. Verify Input Provides an opportunity to validate entries and balance values. Located directly

within ADP Workforce Now® the practitioner must validate and then mark as inspected.

Preview This is a two-stage process: Request the preview payroll, and then View Preview results. Only specific reports are available in preview mode. Previews can be requested as many times as required to ensure accuracy.

Process This is a two-stage process: Process the payroll, and then view the payroll output reports. The payroll data is sent to ADP for processing, and the final reports are displayed in ADP Workforce Now® based upon your processing schedule.

PAYROLL PART 1 FOR ADP WORKFORCE NOW® MODULE 1 - PROCESSING BASIC PAYROLL

ADP Workforce Now® Modules & Features Overview

The payroll module works in conjunction with many other products and features to create a seamless solution.

Modules Working with Payroll

Examples of modules that correspond directly with Payroll are Time & Attendance, HR,

Time Off and Benefits.

The Time & Attendance Module

Timecard information is entered/scheduled in the Time & Attendance module and then sent to Payroll for processing.

Example: Timecards have been gathered and approved for processing. The Time &

Attendance practitioner with the appropriate security access selects the Prepare for Payroll process to initiate the transfer of data to payroll. Time & Attendance data joins the payroll data at the Verify Payroll stage and appears on preview and process reports. Once the payroll is processed the payment are made to the required employees.

HR Module

In the past when HR and payroll were separate, entries had to be made multiple times or imports were required to ensure that both systems were in sync. Workforce Now® allows the personal data to be entered once and all modules purchased link to that information.

Example: Sally Hodgen is hired as a salaried employee and needs to be paid. Sally's name

will automatically appear within payroll due to the integration with the HR module. No additional entries are required.

Time Off Module

Workforce Now® allows the Time Off information to be entered once and visible in both payroll and time off sections of Workforce Now®. The two modules also have a direct feed so that time information can be prepared for payroll and it will feed directly into payroll.

Example: An employee is entitled to two weeks vacation. An employee requests one week of

vacation through the employee self-service request feature. The time off request is approved and the vacation is automatically paid out through payroll on the required dates.

Benefits Module

An integrated Benefits module may be included with your implementation if you purchase the HR module as well. The Benefits module allows you to set up and manage various benefit plan types, including Health and Welfare, Insurance and Custom benefit plans.

Example: Your organization has a different benefits package for new employees depending on

the level for which they are hired. Regular employees are eligible for the Bronze Benefits Package, while anyone hired as a Manager is eligible for the Silver Benefits Package. You can create separate Benefit Offerings to reflect the various Benefits packages your organization requires.

 2015 ADP, LLC 17 1-8 W002_ILT_WFN80V02_0415

Features Used with Payroll

Here are some examples of features that enhance the Payroll module:

Security

The Security feature provides practitioners with the ability to create security at:

Menu level: Practitioners can specify which menus and submenus for which each

profile has view and/or edit privileges.

 Person and company level: Where personal level access is granted.

Example: The Payroll Supervisor is responsible for opening the pay cycle, reviewing the

preview reports for accuracy and then processing the payroll once validated. Create a custom practitioners profile that provides access to the menu options for opening a pay cycle,

previewing reports and processing payroll.

Effective Dating

The Effective Dating feature allows practitioners to identify when a task will take place, today or in the future. Future-dated entries will remain in ADP Workforce Now® until the date entered falls within the payroll period dates.

Example: Annual raise amounts have been confirmed for all associates in the company. The

payroll administrator has decided to be proactive and key the entries in advance with a date in the future. The entries will not take effect until the effective date falls within the payroll period dates.

Workflow

Workflows can be designed to create a notification or an approval process when specific changes are made. When a change is made, the workflow is triggered and a notification and or an approval request goes to the recipient's message centre for review.

Example: Using the example of a raise, Sally (manager) enters a raise into the system for

Jacob (employee). A workflow is then triggered sending a notification to Sally's manager with an approval request to Brenda in HR. The item must be approved by Brenda before the change is processed in payroll.

For additional information, refer to the following training courses:  Workflow Management

Schedule Overview

Schedule Types

There are two schedule types that must be coordinated so that payroll is processed accurately and on time:

 The Mainframe Payroll Schedule  Workforce Now® Pay Period Schedule

Payroll Schedules

Payroll Schedules are set up for each client on ADP's mainframe. This schedule contains Input Date, Run Date and Return Date for each pay cycle.

 The initial schedule is set up by Implementation and then the mainframe automatically, generates the remaining dates based on the pay frequency, desired input and return dates, as well as funding terms.

 A copy of the Payroll Schedule showing the Input Date, Run Date and Return Date is provided to the client during the initial implementation process.

 Schedules are automatically generated in the spring of each year. The schedules cover the time period of June 1st of the current year, to May 31st of the following year. Clients are then responsible for validating and requesting any changes with their ADP representative.

Editing Pay Period Schedules

There are times a schedule needs to be altered. For example, a run date was missed and now the schedule needs to be adjusted to meet funding terms.

All fields within the pay period schedule can be changed. However, some changes will have impacts. Examples: If the pay periods end date is changed, any ROE's that have been requested will be affected.

When run dates are missed, the ADP schedule must be updated in order for the payroll to process. If a special run is selected, it must be scheduled with ADP or it will not be processed.

Demonstration: Editing Pay Period Schedules

We will now demonstrate the process of editing pay period schedules within ADP Workforce Now®.

Scenario

David missed the run date and must now alter the schedule so that the payroll will be processed accurately. ADP has been contacted and all dates have been bumped forward one day. All dates in the schedule must now be moved forward one business day.

Payroll Data

Understanding the types of data you are entering and ways of reducing keying time can be valuable asset before opening a Payroll Cycle. Let's take a look at how these details can save you time.

Cyclical and Non-Cyclical Data

Many clients do not want payroll cycles opened until they are ready to key payroll.

Understanding the difference between cyclical data and non-cyclical data can help you save time. There are many different types of data. Some examples are payments and adjustments, Record of Employment (ROE) or employee changes. To save time, it would be valuable to know what data can be entered into a closed pay period and what data must wait until the pay cycle is open. The terms used to describe these two types of data are cyclical and non-cyclical data. Let's take a look at these terms and see the types of data fit within each of the categories:

Cyclical Data

Cyclical data refers to data that you enter for each payroll cycle. Some examples of cyclical data are:

 ROE requests  Enter pay data

Non-Cyclical Data

Non-Cyclical data refers to data that you enter on periodically in the payroll cycle. You can entered this type of data into a closed cycle, however the data will not be processed until the cycle is opened and the payroll is processed.

Some examples of non-cyclical data are:  Employee changes

Payroll Cycle Tools for Multiple Companies

Several features within the payroll cycle can be used to complete the same task for multiple companies at the same time. The tasks are: Start New Cycle, Preview Payroll, and Process Payroll.

To access this option select the Company Group Actions link, located below the Next Step box on the Payroll Cycle page.

Notes

Clients with multiple company codes starting a single company at a time should validate they have selected the correct company prior to opening a pay period.

The Start New Cycle Icon

The payroll cycle is currently closed. The practitioner has had the opportunity to enter any required non-cyclical information. The actual entry process for an open pay cycle is the same as it would be for a closed Pay Cycle. Non-cyclical type of entries will be discussed further in Part 2 of this course.

Now that all required schedules have been created, let's explore how to open a new pay cycle and how that looks.

Start New Cycle is the first icon in the payroll cycle. It opens the cycle so that all tasks are enabled. Once the cycle has been started the icon will grey out and the wording will change to Started Cycle (see icon images).

Note: Once the Start New Cycle icon is selected, ADP Workforce Now® clears any existing

paydata from the previous payroll and advances the payroll calendar to the next pay period. Starting a new cycle will trigger any effective dated entries for his period to take effect.

Starting a New Payroll Cycle

Overview

Starting a new cycle enables the practitioner to enter cyclical data into the payroll and triggers any effective dated entries dated less than or equal to the pay period end date. As we discussed earlier, ADP Workforce Now® provides tools that will reduce the entry time for clients with multiple companies, Let's take a look at how a new cycle is started for both a client with a single company code and one with with multiple company codes.

MODULE 2: PROCESSING BASIC PAYROLL HANDOUT MANUAL PAYROLL PART 1 FOR ADP WORKFORCE NOW®

Pay Rate Types

Payments are calculated based upon different pay rates types, which are determined based on an employee's role in the company. The following are common pay rate types:

Salary

Pay rates and standard hours are entered during the hiring process for all salaried employees. The salary per pay field is calculated by taking the annual salary and dividing the annual salary by the number of pay period in the calendar year. The standard hours are used for the Record of Employment.

Salaried payments are automatically generated each pay period. The amount paid is equal to the salary per pay or the adjusted amount, regardless of the number of hours worked. No manual intervention is required with this payment type unless adjustments to the payment are required.

Salary Example

Bill has a biweekly salary of $2,600. If no changes are required for this pay period, ADP Workforce Now® will automatically create a payment of $2600.00 (minus deductions) for Bill with no manual intervention required by the practitioner.

Exception Hourly

A regular hourly rate and standard hours are entered as part of the hiring process for all exception hourly employees. This payment type is calculated by taking the regular hourly rate and multiplying it by the standard hours. Exception hourly payments are automatically generated each pay period, and can be adjusted as required. No manual intervention is required with this payment type unless adjustments to the payment are required.

Note: Standard hours can be overridden with a different value at any time.

Exception Hourly Example

Pauline receives a bi-weekly payment for 20 standard hours per week, at a rate of 14.00 per hour. If no changes are required for this pay period, ADP Workforce Now® will automatically create a payment of $560.00 (minus deductions) for Pauline with no manual intervention by the practitioner

Hourly

An hourly employee rate is entered as part of the hiring process for all hourly employees. There are no automatic payments generated for this payment type. The number of hours worked per pay period either must be entered by the practitioner or prepared and sent to payroll from the Time and Attendance module. Once the system has this information the payment is calculated by multiplying the number of hours worked by the rate in ADP Workforce Now®.

Hourly Example

Sally worked 78 hours the first pay period and 73 hours the next pay period. These hours may arrive into payroll in one of two ways:

Paydata Grids and Batches Overview

Grids and batches are the two components that make up the paydata grid. Practitioners have the option to create a new grid, use a default grid or use a custom grid created in the past. Grids remain even after payroll processing takes place. Practitioners must create their batches each pay period. These two components form the earning headers and the employee names make up the rows.

Paydata Grids and Batches

Grids and batches work together to create a customized template used for entering Paydata each pay period. The grid creates the headers, and the batch populates the employees. Each of these can be customized as required.

Grid and Batch Example

David had three groups of payment types in his company and he wants to keep them in separate batches. He can use the same grid (headers), but have three different batches each with the different payment types.

Terms and Descriptions

Term Description

Paydata grid A grid is a series of labeled columns and rows that you use to enter paydata that contains commonly-used pay information fields as column headers. You can also create a custom grid to specify fields for specific paydata tasks.

Paydata batch A batch is a group of payment records (for a specific payment type) for multiple employees.

Note: Batches must be recreated each pay period and are deleted as part of the Start New Cycle process.

Paydata Entry Example

This is an example of how the grid and batch come together to make the Paydata Entry page.

Paydata Grids

There are three default grids in ADP Workforce Now®. The defaults are easily identified with a caution sign. Practitioners cannot alter the default grids; however, they can copy a default and create a custom grid from it.

Let's take a look at how to create a new Paydata grid and then how to copy an existing grid and customize it.

Demonstration: Creating a New Paydata Grid

We will now demonstrate the process of creating a new paydata grid.

Scenario

Before paydata can be entered, Donald must create a paydata grid, or select an existing one. Donald has determined that he will need to create a grid because the defaults do not provide all the headings that he requires. Once the grid is created, he will create the batch.

Batch Pre-work (First time only)

Now that our headers have been created within the grid setup, it is time to create the batches. The batches determine the payment type and which employees will appear in the payment batch. Part of the batch process the practitioner must select the employees one by one. ADP Workforce Now® contains a tool called Manage My lists which allows the practitioner to create custom employee lists which they can select in place of the individual selection process. Let's see how these lists are setup.

(45)

MODULE 2: PROCESSING BASIC PAYROLL HANDOUT MANUAL PAYROLL PART 1 FOR ADP WORKFORCE NOW®

Managing My Lists

Creating customized lists of employees according to specific criteria is very beneficial when creating batches. Selecting a list from a dropdown reduces time, especially when this process is required each pay period. The alternative is to individually search and select all employees that are to appear in a batch. Multiple lists can be created and reused as required for batches and in many other areas within ADP Workforce Now®. Let's review the process of creating a list.

Demonstration: Manage My List

We will now demonstrate how to create a Manage My List.
