On-Demand Payment
Overview
Off-Cycle payroll payments are intended to compensate employees for missed base pay from a previous pay period when waiting for the next regular payroll cycle is not reasonable. These payments are only considered after all necessary business processes are completed and reflected in Workday.
Guidelines & Requirements
- Payroll publishes all required deadlines on the Payroll website, and all time and transaction approvals must adhere to these deadlines.
- Off-Cycle payroll requests will only be considered after missing or incomplete appointments or compensation issues are fully resolved in Workday.
- Departments should limit Off-Cycle payroll requests to cases of financial hardship and ensure proper transactional processing to minimize such occurrences.
- Due to the volume of Off-Cycle payment requests, Payroll cannot guarantee approval of all submissions.
By following these guidelines, departments can help ensure timely and accurate payroll processing while minimizing the need for Off-Cycle payments.
