After the certifier has reviewed all the certification records, then the Approve All button can be clicked to change multiple record statuses to approved. This action will approve all records that have not been returned by a certifier. The certifier can later return a record even after clicking the Approve All button. The system will capture the last certifier update. The person that takes the last action is the person who is carried in the system.
All button overrides all of the individual approvals.
The Web-based Payroll Certification System will maintain an audit trail that shows all actions on a particular certification record. The department needs to certify an employee for hours from a prior pay period. If the hours being certified do not go back more than 5 consecutive pay periods, then the departments can enter the prior pay period hours on the Web-based certifications. The departments will enter the hours in the Other Earns field on the Web-based certifications. The department must enter the hours worked and the week the hours were worked.
