The Cycle History tab on the Start a New Payroll Cycle tab lists all previous payroll cycles' basic starting information.

Payroll Corrections: It is strongly suggested that you have your Customer Success Team assist you in this process.

Pak Accounting has an option to help make payroll corrections easier. If a detail code has been set up incorrectly, e.g., tax switches were set incorrectly, this correction utility will make this process easier.

Audit Process:

1. Users will need to run the H-10 Totals by Detail Code for each employee to see the incorrect settings of detail code(s).
2. Correct the switches on the detail code(s) in question. NOTE: This utility will only correct types E or D.
3. Decide how you want to run the correcting payroll - all, active employees only, or employees extracted in the current cycle.  The Customer Success Team would strongly suggest that you run this correcting cycle as a stand-alone cycle and not mix it with a current payroll cycle.  The user also needs to be aware of the implications of dates.  The check date in the correcting cycle determines the quarter that these corrections will be reported, i.e., 941, SUTA, and G/L entries.
4. Start your payroll cycle after making these determinations.
5. Once the payroll cycle is updated, run the H-10 Totals by Detail Code again to make sure corrections were made properly.

Once your cycle is started, Menu out of Pay Summary. Return to the Start Cycle menu and select the Cycle History tab. Then, select the Detail Code Corrections button at the bottom of the screen.

Once you have this selected, change the options on the screen for your corrections. Then select Generate. This process will need to be done for each detail code that needs to be corrected. Corrections will only be generated for employees currently set up with the detail code and will correct one detail code at a time.

Once Generated, the system will tell you how many employees it corrected.

This cycle can either generate checks for the employees or if they owe you money, generate entries to an Employee Receivable account to be either written off or deducted from the next regular payroll check. Now, run the payroll cycle as normal.
