UPB - PARIS Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA) Quick Guide for Bi-weekly Non-Exempt (Hourly) Employees

This quick guide charts adjustment reasons and earn code options for employees who report time on a timesheet.

Adjustments for bi-weekly non-exempt hourly employees use time entry earn codes except when adjustment earn codes are required.

Always report adjustment earnings distributed on the actual dates and weeks in which the work was performed. Do not combine earnings onto a single day or pay period.

For bi-weekly non-exempt hourly adjustments, make sure to edit user preferences for PARIS PRV. Deselect the PUA EARN CODES box so you can use all earn codes. See the Setting User Preferences for Earn Codes job aid.
