A Tale of Too Many Payroll Adjustments

Kay Johnston, an accountant in Recreational Sports, recently found herself staring down almost 2000 lines of payroll adjustments.  Pressed for time and operating with the understanding that these could only be done one at a time, Johnston and her supervisor Erica Perkins were quite reasonably alarmed.  

Thankfully, Perkins reached out for help and UVAFinance trainer Erika Priddy pitched right in.  Priddy confirmed payroll adjustments can't be done in a mass upload to Workday Finance, but that's not the same thing as doing them one at a time.  During some "time with a trainer," she showed Johnston how to remove the duplicates per position for each pay period on her spreadsheet (meaning multiple pay periods were done in one adjustment).  

The end result?  Johnston had one-tenth as many payroll adjustments to do and was very relieved.
