Step 4 - Approving TLR backpay

Modified on Fri, 12 Sep at 9:47 AM


Similar to previous steps the TLR requires the Approval month to be updated first and then approved.


To do this navigate to Central data --> pay elements --> cost of living approvals.


Then from here you can toggle from Payscales over to TLR where you will see a current year (24/25) and Future year (25/26).


In the TLR backpay screen you would need to use the Future year as this relates to the new Academic year for 25/26.


Like previous you will need to select the relevant month from the drop down list then click the "update approval month" button to ensure the new TLR rate gets paid from the correct month.




After you are happy with the Approval month you can then complete the final step by clicking approve button, adding a remark then finally pressing confirm again.
