Off-Cycle/On-Cycle Correction Form

Payroll "On-Cycle" and "Off-Cycle" Correction Forms are typically used for the following reasons:

• to correct errors in an employee's pay
• to process certain types of payments (e.g., accrued vacation) to a terminated employee
• to authorize Cornell to deduct a prior overpayment of wages from prospective paychecks

 A correction made as part of the "On-cycle" process will affect the employee's regular paycheck and will result in a "pay line entry."

 A payment made on a date other than the employee's regular pay date is referred to as an "Off-cycle" paycheck.  Note: Off-Cycle checks should be avoided, as they are very labor intensive to process.

There are separate forms for requesting corrections for biweekly and semimonthly employees. Please ensure that you are using the correct form, as different data is required.

 Semimonthly Off-Cycle or On-Cycle Correction Form

 Note: Do not use these forms to request additional compensation, such as bonuses. Such requests must be handled through the Office of Human Resources .
