Marking Timecards as Certified for a Closed Pay Period
Note: If the pay period is still open, simply pull the required timecard lines into a PR Timecard Entry batch using File > Add Timecards and make the necessary changes.
Steps for Closed Pay Periods
Reversing Entries:
Add the timecards into a current open pay period as reversing entries (negative hours) using “Initialize from another Pay Period”.
Post these in a separate pay sequence from the regular payroll (e.g., Sequence 2 if regular payroll is Sequence 1).
Use the original timecard dates for all entries.
Positive Entries:
Add the timecards again in another pay sequence with positive hours and pay rates.
Ensure the Certified flag is checked on the positive entries.
Process the Batch:
Validate, process, and post the batch.
Reporting:
When running certified reports, do not check the box to include “hours only in this pay period.”
The report will pull all time within the timecard date range, ensuring it includes time from the current pay period.
