Reviewing and Adjusting Arrears Balances

Typically, the system creates an arrears balance when an employee's net pay in a pay period is insufficient to cover a deduction (provided, that is, that you defined a deduction code in the Deduction table to allow arrears). You can also create a deduction arrears balance as a payback balance for recapture in the next pay period, such as for a draw.

The system will take any outstanding deduction arrears on the employee's next check - even if the next check is a separate check, a final check or a gross-up check. Once an amount had gone into arrears, the arrears processing cannot be stopped. The system will attempt to recover the arrears associated with this deduction code during subsequent payrolls, until the amount has been reduced to zero.

If the user doesn't want the arrears to be processed on a check, for example, a gross-up check, the arrears deduction can be overridden on the payline using the By Paysheet - One-Time Deductions Page. Select Arrears Payback in the One-Time Code field and leave the Flat/Addl Amount field blank. This setup will suppress the arrears deduction from being taken on the check.

Use the Adjust Arrears Balance1 page (ADJ_ARR_BAL1) to identify the deduction arrears for which you're adjusting balances.
