Add ability to set the Pay Sequence for Batches opened in Employee Portal

We use different Pay Sequences for our Field and Admin time batches because we process Admin and Field time on separate days. We use Pay Sequence 1 for Admin staff and Pay Sequence 2 for Field staff. Today, when a batch is opened either manually or automatically in the Employee Portal, it defaults to Pay Sequence 1. As we migrate from an existing system which uses Pay Sequence 2 to using the Employee portal, we end up having multiple check runs for Field staff.

    Mark, Yes I was provided the information by Support. But it requires an extra step by Payroll and would be easier it it could be configured up front.

    Since all portal batches are pay sequence 1, there is a way to move the timecards out of that batch and into a new batch that has a different pay sequence on the Batch Timecard Move page. This is a final step that payroll can do right before they post in order to post this to the correct pay sequence.

    Here's some docuyemtnation on that page: https://help.viewpoint.com/viewpoint-hr-management-for-vista/viewpoint-hr-management-for-vista/hr-management-for-vista/timecards/batch-timecard-move

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Mark, we already separate Admin and Field into separate groups. Field staff are in are Group 1 and Admin are in Group 3.

    Hi Dave,

    Most of our customers have separate PR Groups for this reason. Have you considered separating your admin and field employees into different PR Groups?
