Summary

The Reset Pay command returns your database to the state that existed before the pay period selected was opened.

All transactions associated with a Pay Period are cleared out and a new Pay Sequence number is generated.

Use this command to:

• Reverse the opening of a pay
• Clear a pay of all transactions

When to use

An example of when it may be useful to reset a pay is when your company closes over the Christmas break and there are no employees paid during this period. The period still needs to be opened and closed before it is updated in the Period Calendar.

You would still need to clear any permanent transaction that might have been automatically generated during the opening of the pay. If you do not clear theses permanent transactions, PayGlobal will generate payments for them when the pay is closed.

Advantage

Using Reset Pay is generally quicker than restoring your data from backup.

Is the Pay Sequence number the same?

The Pay Sequence number is a generic number created by PayGlobal when a Pay is opened. Each Pay Sequence number increments by one.

If you open a Pay as Pay Sequence 50, reset the Pay and then open another Pay, the Pay Sequence number will be 51.
