Nett Pay¶
This is a critical step in the Pay Procedure. The Generate Nett Pay process records the amount that is to be paid (Gross and Net) in the Payment File.
Once these values have been generated the entries on the Pay Screen may not be edited to produce a result which is less for either of these values (Gross and Net pay). You can change the Pay Items if desired but the result must be equal to or more that the amounts already paid.
Therefore, do not run this process until you are sure that what is on the pay screen is what is to be paid.
There is a reason for this as it allows PayCare to make provision for interim payments to be made during a Pay Period.
Where payments are required in the course of a pay period and before the main pay is processed:
- Enter the payment that is required on the Pay screen. Make sure it is correct.
- Run the Generate Nett Pay process
- Pay the employee using the normal pay process
The amount that has already been paid will not be paid again. Any additional amount that is added to the payscreen afterwards will be paid. So, for example, a payment for leave could be made in the course of the pay period and payment for any normal work done in the period could be paid as part of the normal pay process.
