Viewing HRS Actuals Funding Distribution After Payroll Post-Confirmation in HRS

Overview

After payroll post-confirmation processing (typically on Friday of a payroll processing week), you can view preliminary funding distribution for an employee's earnings, deductions, and taxes, before it is interfaced to WISDM (Wisconsin Data Mart for PeopleSoft Financials). This job aid shows how to view funding for an employee's earnings, deductions, and taxes for a particular payroll, after payroll post-confirmation processing.

Process Considerations:

  • It is important to be aware that the funding distribution information found in HRS the day after payroll confirmation can change over the course of the day while post-confirmation processing occurs. For this reason, the recommended practice is to wait for WISER to be updated to verify how an employee's payroll expenses were funded. The time between the completion of Post Confirm processing and when the data is available in WISER is usually minimal. For example, when a payroll is confirmed on a Thursday, WISER will typically have the funding distribution information by first thing Monday morning.
