A: During the course of running your payroll system, you may update or correct employee information. This information may include the employee hire date, cost centre (department) and WCB information.
- The employee hire date is located on the General Tab of the employee information. This information is also contained on the employee’s pay tab, and it not updated automatically after a change is made in one of these other sections.
- The WCB information is located on the Class/Schedule tab
- And the Cost centre or department override is located on the Cost Center tab
- This information is also on the employee Pay tab. If you make changes to the hire date, WCB and cost centre fields after filling in the pay tab, you should go to the employee pay tab and check out each of the earnings and deductions, and make the changes there also. Each of the earnings and deduction detail lines also have fields for start date (which is usually the hire date), WCB and cost centre override. If these fields have been changed in the sections of the employee information, you must also change them here on the pay tab to ensure correct reporting.
