Payroll Accounting Adjustments

Published on Thursday, December 17, 2020

A PayrollAccountingAdjustment should be created to retroactively correct the accounting on payroll results that have been completed. If all or a portion of an employee's earnings for a previous pay period should have been paid from a different funding source (cost center, grant, designation, etc.), a Payroll Accounting Adjustment will need to be submitted to correct the payroll results. 

Examples of when a Payroll Accounting Adjustment should be completed: 

• A costing allocation was not completed for the time period that an employee should have been paid from a grant. 
• An employee's time was not transferred to the correct cost center in Kronos.
