Symptoms

Additional Pay is incorrectly rounding odd amounts onto paychecks when it should not be rounding.

Employee has an Additional Pay that has a negative amount for a bi-weekly employee that has FLSA split as weekly.  If the negative amount is an odd amount, the system is taking a penny too much. For example, the negative amount is $128.89 on Additional Pay.  The system creates the two rows of $64.45 (one for each week of the pay period) instead of one row of $64.45 and one row of $64.44. 

It previously took the correct amounts, this seems to be a recent issue.

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

1. Ensure your Pay Group is configured for FLSA - Set up HCM>Product Related>Payroll for North America>Payroll Processing Controls>Pay Group Table
2. Ensure the employee is a FLSA - Workforce Administration>Job Information>Job Data
3. Create additional pay for an earning code with a negative amount ie. 4.19 - Payroll for North America>Employee Pay Data USA>Create Additional Pay
4. Create paysheets - Payroll for North America>Payroll Processing USA>Create and Load Paysheets>Create Paysheets
5. Run payroll calculation - Payroll for North America>Payroll Processing USA>Produce Payroll>Calculate Payroll
6. Verify the additional amounts on the Review Paycheck that shows the system is rounding - Payroll for North America>Payroll Processing USA>Produce Payroll>Review Paycheck
