[PR] Correcting Prevailing Wages

A job was not assigned a craft/prevailing wage template, causing incorrect pay rates and missing fringe. The employee worked 1 hour and was already paid incorrectly.

Step 1: Reverse the Incorrect Payroll (Pay Sequence 1)

1. Create a new pay period with two pay sequences.

2. In Timecard Entry, create a batch for Pay Sequence 1.

3. Pull in the reversing timecards for the affected employee.

4. Post the timecard batch.

5. Using the payroll register from the original payroll:

   • Override deductions and liabilities so the net pay matches the original check.

6. Apply an employee-based miscellaneous deduction (such as Employee Advance or Reimbursement) to bring the net pay to $0.

7. Process the employee as an “X – No Pay”.

Caution:
After the craft template is added to the job, do not reprocess the employee on Pay Sequence 1, or fringe will calculate incorrectly.
If other employees need adjustments on Pay Sequence 1, process employees individually, not as a group.

Step 2: Fix the Job Setup

• Assign the correct craft/prevailing wage template to the job.

Step 3: Re-enter Correct Payroll (Pay Sequence 2)

1. Create a timecard batch for Pay Sequence 2.

2. Enter timecards with:

   • Correct job

   • Correct craft and class

   • Correct hours

3. Post the timecard batch and process the employee.

4. Review payroll to confirm wages, fringe, and liabilities are correct.

5. Use the same miscellaneous deduction to reduce net pay by the amount already paid.

Step 4: Issue Payment

• Issue a check to the employee for the difference owed.

Tip

If the employee worked on multiple jobs during the pay period:

• Reverse all hours in Pay Sequence 1.

• Re-enter all hours in Pay Sequence 2.

This ensures tax and fringe calculations are accurate.
