Additional payments are defined on Global Payroll core application pages. However, you should remember some U.S.-specific issues when setting up additional payments:

  • All earnings and deductions need to have period-to-date logic applied.

    This method uses period-to-date logic built into the U.S.-delivered statutory rules.

  • Oracle recommends that when selecting the period paid, you select the previous finalized calendar or the current open calendar.

  • This method is used to record monetary values only. Absence accumulators are not updated.

To set up an additional payment:

  1. Use the Off Cycle On Demand page or the Off Cycle Request page to create the off-cycle group.

  2. Use the Additional Payment Detail page to enter instructions for processing the payment.

  3. Create an off-cycle calendar on the Calendar Group page of the Off Cycle Calendar Group component (GP_CALENDAR_RUN).

    Use this calendar to process the additional payment.

  4. Process the additional payment on the Calculate Absence and Payroll run control page.
