A Pay Period is a collection of calculations and jobs, and is intended to align with your payroll period. This ensures that your calculations (top-up, average hourly rates, overtime, etc) are aligned with your payroll system.
...
When a Pay Period is closed, all calculations are re-run and finalised. Jobs can no longer be edited, and any new jobs submitted are labeled with 
LATE .
A Closed Pay Period can be treated as finalised.
...
Jobs submitted (from either Field or Office) to a date within a closed Pay Period, they are labeled as LATE. These jobs are omitted from all calculations and their costs are not calculated. This is to protect existing calculations for Employees and their earnings.
...
Reports without Pay Period calculations and restrictions include the LATE jobs e.g. Timesheet Dump.
...
The LATE jobs themselves can be easily identified in the All Jobs screen, if necessary you can ‘FILTER BY STATUS’ to reveal any hidden by pagination.
...
There are two ways to handle LATE jobs: reopen the Pay Period, or pay them separately.
