Batches contain manual adjustments to the earnings and deductions for employees that will be included during pay run processing. Batches are used to add hours to an employee payroll, pay a bonus, or correct payroll errors.
The life cycle of a batch starts when the batch is created, then earnings or deductions are added, and ends with updating the batch status before running a pay run. Once a batch has been processed with a pay-run it will be removed automatically.
