UPB - Initiating a Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA) No Time Reported for Bi-weekly Hourly Employee

No Time Reported is used when a positive time entry (non-status or student) employee's timesheet is not approved by the time entry deadline.

When a timesheet is not approved on time, extra help or student employees will not get paid. A PUA with No Time Reported as the adjustment reason must be submitted to pay the employee for any missed pay periods.

Enter the earn code and hours on the appropriate days. The PUA should be entered using the same earn codes as the timesheet.

NOTE: If the employee holds multiple jobs, the combined hours for any day or week could result in system generated overtime (OVF) if overtime hours are not properly reported.

No Time Reported adjustments must be compliant with SURS, FLSA overtime reporting, and W-2 reporting requirements. See FLSA Overtime Tax Implications - Business & Finance for more information.
