What your agent can get wrong here
The reply sounds right. The record is what counts.
ActionWhat the world recordsCommon mistake

Describe the job. Review the checks before anything runs.
Submit the Nov 15 regular payroll before Monday's deadline. K. Moreno was short 6 hours of overtime, so pay only the difference off-cycle. Pay each contractor once.
- 01Regular payroll submitted before the deadline on the latest version
- 02Off-cycle for K. Moreno covers 6 overtime hours only
- 03R. Dahl paid exactly once
- 04No other employee in the off-cycle
- 05Benefit deductions unchanged
