Please note that the following payroll forms have been updated to align with our new Business Partner Grouping organization:

• Payroll Correction Form
• Repayment Agreement

These forms now include a “Payroll Analyst” field with a drop-down menu. Please remember that if you’re not certain who is the Payroll Analyst for your department, that you can use the lookup tool available here.

>>  If you have a saved copy of these forms on your computer, please be sure to update your copy to the updated form. <<

A new payable time query is available in M-Pathways: MTL_PAYABLE_TIME_DEPT_PRIOR_PD

This query will identify prior period adjustments for a specific pay period, showing both the date for which a prior period adjustment was made, and on which paycheck that adjustment was reflected. Example: Running the query for the 4/17 - 4/30/2022 biweekly pay period shows that a prior period adjustment was made for 4/13/2022 to change 8 ESA to 12 ESA. The  ‘Check Date’ column on the far right (circled in the example below) shows that this change paid out on the employee’s 5/6/2022 paycheck.

This query will be especially helpful in assisting departments when Gross Pay does not match the reported time.  Often this occurs due to a prior period adjustment showing on the paycheck. By running this query, departments can quickly identify if a prior period adjustment was processed as part of a paycheck.
