Add Costs to an Employee’s Upcoming Payroll

The Payroll Manager allows you to easily add costs to an employee’s upcoming payroll cycle. When you add a cost, the platform automatically checks for any existing entries for the same employee and pay period to help prevent duplicate or incorrect payments.

If an overlapping cost is detected, you’ll be notified and prompted to choose how the overlap should be handled.
 

Managing Overlapping Costs

When the system identifies an overlapping cost, you can select one of the following options:

Combine costs

• The existing amount and the new entry are added together

• The combined total is processed in the payroll cycle

Overwrite costs

• The new entry replaces the existing cost

• Only the updated amount is processed in payroll

Cancel entry

• The new cost addition is cancelled

• The original cost entry remains unchanged
   

Why This Matters

This safeguard helps ensure payroll accuracy by preventing unintended duplicate payments, while still giving you full control over how employee cost adjustments are managed.
