Payroll Checklist

I.  PAYROLL RECORDKEEPING GUIDELINES
Separate payroll files should be created for biweekly and monthly payroll transactions.  These files can be combined if only a few employees are involved.  
Folders should be labeled with the pay periods in the file and kept in chronological order. Ex. PPE 11/05/05  
Biweekly and/or monthly pay period file should contain the following:  
 
  • Webtime Review Page
 
 
    • Timesheets with attached Form 60/Monthly Absence Summary
 
 
    • Retroactive Adjustment Forms - if applicable
 
 
    • Monthly Exception Forms - if applicable
 
 
    • Vacation Maintenance Forms - if applicable
 
     
II.  PAYROLL CALENDAR INFORMATION  
Payroll calendar provides the following information:  
 
    • Webtime open/close dates for processing payroll
 
 
    • Personnel Action Form due dates
 
 
    • Retroactive Adjustment and Monthly Exception dates
 
 
    • Dates to review paycheck data
 
     
III.  VACATION SICK LEAVE MAINTENANCE  
Review employee's balances before processing payroll by:  
 
  • Clicking on the name in Webtime
 
 
  • Reviewing leave balances in PeopleSoft (Compensate Employees > Administer Base Benefits > Use > Leave Accruals)
 
New employees can use two (2) personal days during their probationary period (6 - 9 months)  
Do not use (AJ) earning codes to change leave balances. Complete a maintenance form and submit to Human Resources to process.  
A record of all absences must be kept within the department. A report of absence form should be completed for each absence.  
     
IV.  GENERAL INFORMATION  
Refer to the records retention site for payroll records storage guide  
For one-time extra compensation payments an additional pay form must be completed and is subject to the same deadlines as PAFs  
Payroll processors should not enter their own payroll; instead a back-up should be designated.  
Complete this form to gain security access to the payroll system. Forward to Errol Benson, 211 GSB, to process.
