Changing Pay Rate

Managers may request a change to an employee’s rate of pay on a specific effective date. The effective date must match the start of the employee’s pay period. Note that employee pay rate changes cannot be prorated within a single pay period. The affected employee's pay will be modified for the entire pay period.

Note: If you need to change the employee's pay rate for past pay periods, use the retroactive pay calculator to determine the additional pay owed for all completed pay periods. Then add a miscellaneous adjustment that will include the additional amount as supplemental pay on the employee's next paycheck.

Note on Completion: After the EAN is approved, it will immediately complete unless:
