If you are having an issue where current employee pays are not being picked up when checking pays, or receive the message "0 pays selected" when running the Check Pays process, it means that the selections you have made are not picking up the currently created timesheets and adjustments because:
In the first check pays screen:
You have not selected the correct transaction type in the Check task area i.e. You have selected timesheets when the current transactions are adjustments or vice versa.
Your selections in the Pay Frequencies to check task area do not match the pay frequencies in the Employee Masterfiles for the timesheets or adjustments currently created.
In the next Ranges screen, there are selections for Employee Code Range, Pay Point Range, or Surname Sort Range that do not match the currently created timesheets or adjustments.
The Check Pays process will only check pays based on your selections, so you need to make sure the selections will pick up the timesheet or adjustment transactions you have created and need to check to include in a pay processing run.
Hints and Tips for creating the correct pays in the Check Pays screen
Unless you are specifically filtering for certain pay frequencies, make sure ALL pay frequencies are selected.
Make sure the relevant checkboxes are selected based on the pays you've created (Auto Pays, Timesheets or Adjustments). If you do NOT want to create Auto Pays, don't select this option.
Unless required, make sure there are no ranges selected, or the correct ranges are selected.
If you pay your employees with more than one pay frequency (i.e. weekly, fortnightly, monthly), then it is important to confirm you have selected the correct pay frequency in the Check Pays screen, as if you have selected the incorrect pay frequency you may be excluding employees in the pay run.
Be aware that you can save parameters using the Save (F5) feature, so if you receive the message again when doing a subsequent Check Pay, check your saved parameters in all the areas above and re-save new parameters if required by making changes and then clicking Save (F5) again to save the new saved parameters.
