Process Regular Payroll Using Date Ranges

You can limit the timesheet hours included in a payroll run. If you do, Vantagepoint compares the date of a posted time transaction to the range of dates that you specify, and only includes transactions that fall in the range.

Prerequisite: You must select the Enable date ranges for regular hours and overtime hours option on the General tab of the Payroll Setup form in Settings > Payroll > General in the desktop application.

To process payroll using a date range:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Payroll > Payroll Payments.
  2. On the Payroll Payments form, click + New Payment Run.
    For existing payroll payment runs, go to Open an Existing Payroll Payment Run.
  3. On the New Payment Run page of the Payroll Payments form, set the Run Type option to Regular.
  4. In the Time Period to Include section, do the following:
    • In the Regular date range fields, specify a start date and end date for the period in which regular payroll is to be calculated. All timesheets with hours worked within the date range specified are included to determine payroll for hourly employees. Salaried employees are paid as appropriate, based on the rate specified in the Employees hub.
    • In the Overtime date range fields, specify a start date and end date for the period in which overtime payroll is to be calculated. All timesheets with overtime hours worked within the date range are included to determine overtime pay for hourly employees and salaried employees. To exclude overtime pay from a payroll run, leave both the Start Date and End Date overtime date range fields blank.

      You may want to enter an overtime pay period different from the regular pay period date range if you pay overtime pay on a different schedule from regular pay.

  5. Enter information in the remaining fields on the page, such as the process type, payroll date, payment date, and payment sorting options.
  6. Click Create New Run.
