UPB - Initiating a Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA) Late Job for Bi-Weekly Exempt Employees

Initiating a Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA) Late Job for Bi-Weekly Exempt Employees

A late job becomes effective too late for a payroll calculation and results in the employee not being paid on that job. A late job is supported by a backdated Personnel Date in Banner. Late Job is the adjustment reason to pay the employee for missed pay period(s).

NOTE: In some cases, you will need to adjust a different pay period than the one worked. For the job to be available on the adjustment, you will need to select the first pay period the job is active.
