Process Improvements Implemented (Sears):
AIM 1 – To design a query and identify whether all the semi-monthly or monthly associates have been paid correctly according to the pay rate updated in the Job data
This will help us to know the fall outs which are missed to process (including underpayment or overpayment) so that we won’t get off cycle request from other teams and end up doing double work
AIM 2 – To design a query for loading the check reversal file in PeopleSoft
Per month we receive almost 200 to 300 Check Reversals and the data from the finance team is in an excel format
Instead of doing it manually we can load the file into PeopleSoft so that it will reduce the manual work for the agents
AIM 3 - Designed a query in people tools, that will have the logic built to capture all the paycheck processed with the earning code as DNW and the output can be validated and verified by processors
