When you run Pay Calculation it combines any Negative Net on Pay Adjustments with Timesheet (Payslip 1), if applicable.
That is, where:
- there is a Pay Adjustment that is marked as Include in EFT that results in Negative Net
- Pay Calculation combines this with the Timesheet (Payslip 1)
- to reduce the Total Net amount to be paid to the employee.
This will also work for multiple Negative Net Pay Adjustments as long as the total combined Net is still a positive value.
Where this occurs, Payslip 1 (related to Timesheets) will be flagged as Has Combined Negative Pay Adjustment. If you sum the EFT Pay Distribution splits shown on Payslip 1, it totals the Net from Payslip 1 with the Negative Pay Adjustment already deducted.
Note that the Pay Split on the Pay Adjustment is ignored, and the system applies the Pay Split Pay Distribution rules based on Pay Slip 1. This is why a Payslip for a Negative Net Pay Adjustment will not list a Pay Distribution.
If you enter in a Negative Net Pay Adjustment that is flagged as Include in EFT, Print Payslip cannot be unticked. If you do untick, the record cannot be saved. Also, if there is no Payslip 1 (Timesheet) to reduce the Negative Net from, when you run the Pay Calculation you will get a Control Error advising that Negative Net is not allowed.
To resolve this error
- Delete the Pay Adjustment or
- Create a Timesheet that results in a positive total combined Net.
