UPB - Initiating a Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA) Job Change for Monthly Employee

A job change that is too late for a payroll calculation is reflected by a backdated Personnel Date in Banner. Job Change is the adjustment reason to pay hours or differences in pay rates, as well as for 9/12 deferred payouts.

When making an adjustment due to a late job change, you will usually need to adjust a different pay period than the one worked. For the job changes to be applied, you will need to adjust a pay period during which the job change is effective.
