Select Timesheets to Refresh

Access this form using Timesheets>Default Timesheet or Enter Regular/Supplemental Timesheet> Refresh Rates and Amounts. It is only available with the Payroll module; it is not available for Payroll Link users.

Use this form to refresh the rates and amounts for an Employee ID, Processing Group, Employee Type, Class, Position, or Pay Type, or all employees. The code changes are reflected in the Default, Regular, or Supplemental Timesheets. The system quickly checks each Earning, Benefit, Deduction, Workers’ Compensation, and Leave Code and refreshes the rates and amounts (if applicable) for the selected employees. Click OK to begin the refresh.

While the Timesheets are refreshing, a Progress Dialogue displays at the bottom of the window. When the progress reaches 100%, a message displays the number of timesheets that were refreshed. This is to inform you of the number of timesheets that were reviewed, it does not reflect the number of changes that were made.

For example, if your Health Insurance Benefit Code premium was changing at the beginning of your fiscal year, during that pay cycle, you could:

  • Update the Amount on the Maintain>Payroll>Benefits>Calculation tab
  • Open the Default Timesheets form
  • Click the Refresh Rates and Amounts button
  • Select all the employees and
  • Click OK.

The system would check every employee and apply any changes at that time. Those employees who have that Benefit Code, would get the updated change. Those who did not would get checked but no changes would be made since they do not have that Benefit Code.
