This Corona Virus and the additional work on payroll employees for the 2 types of mandatory paid leave is crazy. We can add the new codes, based on either sick or Holiday time pay types, but we have companies with 200 to 3,000 employees that need to be updated immediately and it has to be based on the employee's pay rate and in some cases only 2/3 of the employee's pay rate. And it has to be included in some deductions, garnishments and benefit codes.
Good God, isn't there a way to do this other than one at a time?
Hi Debra,
You may want to consider using Integration Manager to add new pay codes for existing employees in mass quickly (once the pay code has been saved at the Payroll Setup level of course).
We have a canned Employees integration included with Integration Manager that should work. You’d need to modify the Destination Mapping to be ‘Update Only’ since the employees already exist in GP. Otherwise you’ll receive an error that the employee already exists when you try to integrate the new codes. You can do that by right clicking on Employees, double clicking on Employee Properties, and they by changing the Destination Edit Mode to be ‘Update Only’:
Something to keep in mind when importing employee pay codes:
Integration Manager was not intended to work with HR or HRMS, so if either is installed: You’ll need to create a separate Dynamics.set file with both of those products removed, and launch into GP as administrator with the modified .set file when you run the integration. Otherwise, you’ll error out on the integration.
I’m not sure if you are on version 18.2.XXXX yet, but if you are you may want to consider the new Quick Assignment functionality for benefits and deductions if you’re adding those as well. Here’s a link to our blog about that feature:
I hope this helps!
