Manually Override LP Eligibility

lcjohnson

Is there a way to manually move LP hours from "Accrued" to "Available"?  We have a 90 day waiting period on our sick banks, but for employees that are quarantined because of Covid, we want to make their balances available prior to the Eligibility Date. I can manually change the Eligibility Date on their LP31, but then I have to wait for payroll to run the LP140 wide open, on the next full payroll run. We run the LP140 in HR, but for "Manual Transactions Only". The other processing options make me nervous. I tried running it with option 8 "Accruals and Allotments Only" in our test environment, but our data is old, so it isn't clear if that will work for us. If anyone has experience with this, I would love suggestions. Thanks!

There are a couple of ways this could be done.  The easiest option would probably be to put in adjustment through LP70 to transfer the balance from Accrued to Available.  2 lines would need to be entered 1 to credit the accrued line and 1 to debit the available line.  Run Lp140 for manual transactions only.  this will only process the transactions on lp70. 

The other option would be to setup an employee group with the employees that need to have the balances transferred and then run lp140 with this group for option 1 - all processing.  this should get the balances to kick over, but never actually tried it myself. 

bear in mind when running the lp140 keep the process through date to the end of the pay period.  if you utilize another date then then employees accruals may be delayed and not in cycle with other employees.  this was an issue we contended with for years and until we stumbled upon this issue. 

hope this helps.
