Manually Set OK to Pay for Instructor in FWL Maintenance

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to check the OK to Pay check box on the CS to HCM Pay Line in the Maintain Faculty Workload Page for an individual instructor, for a specific term and pay period in ctcLink.

Audience: HR/Payroll Staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZD FWL View Cnt Calc
  • ZZ FWL Contract Approve
  • ZZ FWL Contract Calc
  • ZZ FWL Contract Gen
  • ZZ FWL Contract Submit
  • ZZ FWL Pay Processing

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

The OK to Pay (OTP) check box provides Faculty Workload (FWL) processors the ability to designate that a pay amount is "ready" to be picked up and sent to payroll.  CS to HCM Pay Line data is in draft form until a contract is generated and approved, therefore the OK to Pay check box will not be active until the contract is generated and approved by all necessary approvers.

The HCM Pay Line Extract process, which sends pay amounts to payroll, will only pick up pay line rows where the OK to Pay check box is check and the Pay Date is on or before the current payroll date, as displayed in the available scheduling parameters for the HCM Pay Line Extract process.

To manually check the OK to Pay check box, the FWL Processor would navigate to the Maintain Faculty Workload page for an individual instructor, for a specific term.
