Earnings

Generate earnings statement lines for the worker, pay cycle, and pay period that are specified in the earnings statement header. After you click this button to create default earnings statement lines, you can add and remove lines to modify values.

The generation process will not overwrite or discard earnings statement lines that you add manually, whether you add them before or after you generate earnings statement lines.

Release earnings statement

Select all of the lines on the earnings statement that have not been processed as ready for payment. Earnings statement lines are generally released for payment after they have been reviewed.

Note: When integrated with SIS:

  • The following award validations for Federal Work Study (FWS) occur on release of earnings statement:
    • An approved FWS Award should be present for the position for the pay period for which the earning statement is released. However, if an FWS award is not available for the position, the release of the earnings statement will fail and the lines for payment will be put on hold and will not be processed.

    • The award should be active (i.e., the earnings statement release must be within the scope of the Award Year). Otherwise an error is logged and the statement is put on hold. Earning line date does not fall within the award year. There is no valid award for the earning line date.

    • The award balance should be greater than or equal to earning statement amount, otherwise, the earnings statement release errors out and the earnings statement line is put on hold due to inadequate award balance.

    • When the earnings statement pay cycle includes two awards belonging to two award years, the award balance validation is performed considering the earnings statement line dates.

      For example, if the pay cycle is from 15th June to 14th July, and the 1st award is valid only till 30th June, the earnings statement line (with the combination of the earning code) falling till 30th June are pertaining to 1st award and the earnings statement line falling from 30th June till 14th July pertain to 2nd Award.

  • After releasing an earnings statement, if the earnings statement is later on edited or deleted, the Pending amount, Award on hold, and Award balance fields for the student are automatically updated in the Student awards page (under Student accounting > Students > Student awards).
