Resolution/Fix/Answer
This message indicates a retroactive pay rate record has been assigned to one or more employees. Without navigating to the Retroactive Pay Adjustments window and approving these retroactive pay adjustments, they will not be picked up and paid to the employees for the current pay period.Â
See Approval of Retroactive Pay Adjustments so they are paid out in the current payroll process for more information on approving the retroactive pay adjustments so they can be picked up in the next payroll process.
