Split payments and partial pay periods occur when an employee starts or ends work mid-pay period, works fewer hours, or receives a payment in parts. SecurePayStubs ensures these situations are accurately reflected on pay stubs.
Steps to Handle Partial Pay Periods
- Enter the Exact Pay Period Dates
- In the Salary Information section, input the actual start and end dates for the pay period.
- Adjust Hours or Days Worked
- For hourly employees, enter the exact number of hours worked.
- For salaried employees, the system automatically prorates earnings based on days worked.
- Verify Earnings and Deductions
- SecurePayStubs calculates gross pay, taxes, and deductions based on the partial period.
- Check YTD Totals
- Year-to-Date (YTD) earnings and deductions update correctly, even for partial periods.
Steps to Handle Split Payments
- Create Separate Pay Stubs
- Generate a pay stub for each portion of the payment.
- Ensure Accurate Totals
- Confirm that combined earnings and deductions match the employee’s total pay.
- Update YTD
- Each stub automatically updates Year-to-Date totals for accuracy.
Tip: Always preview the pay stub before finalizing to make sure all partial or split payments are accurately reflected.
