Understanding Results Adjustments

In Global Payroll, you can adjust an employee's pay results with the retro feature. With result adjustment, you can make changes to an employee's pay after finalization. For example, if a special deduction has to be applied to an employee's results right before calculation, you can do so by adding this deduction in the Positive Input page in the core application.

Note: There is no special setup required for results adjustments. It is done through regular retro processing.

There are two types of adjustments:

  • Positive adjustment − when additional pay needs to be made to the employee.

  • Negative adjustment − when an employee's pay needs to be deducted.

Both positive and negative adjustments are handled with retro triggers that are defined in the core application. If it's a payroll adjustment, you can make the adjustment through positive input. If it's an absence adjustment, you can make the adjustment through the Absence Entry page.
