Retroactive Pay Enhancement
Retroactive Pay Enhancement (PP13-06)
22
Developed a new custom process to handle retro pay for New Hires and Rehires.No Payroll Adjustment Forms (PAF) are needed for retro pay for New Hires/Rehires.A process is run to generate zero paychecks for any missed paychecks for retroactive new hires/rehires.
Hourly, non-exempt, and Special Pay employees are excluded in this process.Hourly and Non-exempt employees will get retro paid when their time is approved by the departments.
Retroactive Pay Enhancement
23
The Zero $ pay checks with a label ‘UMB Retro’ are generated for the missed pay periods in which the new hires/rehires should have received a paycheck.Retro Pay process looks at this $0 pay check and calculates what should have been paid and adds it as a retro pay in the current pay period.Zero paycheck will not be deleted and in place in the system permanently.

bi-weekly pay may be taxed over multiple pay periods.
Discuss with your employees if multiple tax periods is requested due to their tax circumstances. Tax period calculation: Total wages paid during the pay
period/Normal bi-weekly pay If an employee has requested add’l tax amounts be
withheld on W4, the amounts will be multiplied by the tax periods.
Tax Periods on PA Form If the tax period box is left blank on a PA
Form, the default value will be set to ‘1’ tax period.
The tax periods will be reduced to the maximum allowed by FS-Payroll if the number requested was too high.
