UPB - Initiating a Current Pay Adjustment (CPA) for Bi-Weekly Feeder Employees

You can initiate a Current Pay Adjustment to correct an employee’s timesheet that has been loaded on the feeder file for the current pay period.

See the CPA Window Quick Guide for when to initiate a CPA and Payroll Schedules for deadlines.

Earnings edited or entered on the CPA will overwrite any earnings submitted on the timesheet for the selected job. The pay entered on the CPA is the only pay the employee will receive.
