Go to HR/Payroll – Employment - Positions

MOST COMMON QUESTION: Why doesn’t the Position record show the new assignment information? The Position Tab in the Position record contains the basic information about the position. The information it shows is from the pay detail that is active as of today, which means it does not show information about next year position assignments. This information will show after the first regular payroll runs in the new fiscal year.

HEALTH & WELFARE BENEFITS

Benefit Group Setup

This setup allows for the linking of similar benefits when coverage changes at open enrollment

o The system can then track the costs and annualize based on the previous amounts

This setup allows the ACA Report to identify employees who have opted out of medical

coverage already and do not need to be tracked

The system needs the Groups to be MED and OPT

NOTE: Additional MED Group needed for employee with more than one Benefit Provider

Example: Domestic Partners (Employee =Pre Tax; Domestic Partner = Post Tax)

Go to HR/Payroll – Setup – Benefit – Benefit Groups

For existing benefit providers the field will be locked and will require Escape to add the codes

Benefit Override

The Benefits Tab can override the Bargaining Unit and Benefit Providers

Go to HR/Payroll – Employment – Employee Management- Benefits

Example: Employee is on RWL at .60 FTE, but Benefits are based on 1.0 FTE so 100 is entered for ER PAY %

NOTE: This could also be used for any override needed for Benefits. Example: Bus Driver is .50 FTE but entitled to 1.0 FTE Benefits, indicate 100 in the ER Pay %

ADDONS Now is the time to review Addons to make sure they are setup to report correctly for

Retirement, ACA (Affordable Care Act), and HFA (Healthy Family Act Sick Leave).

Go to HR/Payroll – Setup – Payroll – Addons

Test the Addon to make sure it calculates as expected. If it does not work as expected

submit an email to [email protected] . Make sure to list the Addon and why it is not

calculating as expected.

It is recommended to set up Addons as follows:

Monthly - Set up in Employee Management

Example 1: Substitute Teacher Example 2:Masters/Doctorate

Example 3: Cell/Car/Mileage Example 4: Extra Hourly

One Time Payment – Set up in Adjust Pay Example 1: Coaching Example 2: BTSA

Example 3: Yearbook Example 4: Retro/Off Schedule

Taxes and Addons Taxes can calculate differently depending upon the setup of the Addon. In most cases Addons are set up with the Regular Earnings Table. For supplemental pay that is earned in the same month regular earnings occur, using an

Addon set up with the Regular Earnings Table, the taxes will be annualized. For supplemental pay that is earned in a month where NO regular earnings occur, using

an Addon set up with the Regular Earnings Table, taxes will not be taken. It is always recommended that you review the employee snapshot to confirm the Addon is calculating as expected, including the taxes. Taxes are required by law and should not be altered without submission of a new W-4 Form.

Types of Addons:

Lump Sum Hourly Daily Monthly Open

HR/Payroll Yearly Review 2018

HR/Payroll Yearly Review Page 15 5/8/18

Retirement and Addons

Always review the Addon to make sure it is set up properly for STRS and PERS reporting. It is important to look at the employee snapshot. Remember retirees can have different rules and sometimes you may need to override the Addon retirement set up in Adjust Pay.

Sections to review in the Addon Section 2 – Retirement Information Section 5 – Other Addon Information a. Review the STRS/PERS setup a. Set Affect ACA b. Verify STRS Days/Hours b. ACA Hours Section 3 – W2 and Account Numbers Section 6 – Active Months a. Verify Account Mask a. Review Active Months Section 4- Calculation a. Verify Salary Schedule b.

EMPLOYMENT DATES In the Employee record and other records related to a person's employment, we have

several dates that encompass the milestones of that employee.

Roll Forward (1st column “Rf”)

Anniversary Date - Second for rolling forward an assignment. The anniversary date in

the assignment is first. Leave Processing (2nd Column “Le”)

Base Date - Second in determining leave processing. The Base Date in the leave is first.

Hire Date - Third for leave processing. Seniority - Employee59 Report (3rd Column “Se”)

Seniority Date - First for displaying on the report.

Base Date - Second for displaying on the report.

Hire Date - Third for displaying on the report. Longevity (4th Column “Lo”)

Longevity Date - Third in determining longevity for an employee The longevity date in

the addon is first, assignment is second.

Base Date - Fourth for longevity. Meaning that if the longevity dates in the addon,

assignment and employee record are all blank, the software will use this date.

Hire Date - Fifth for longevity.

LEAVES Leaves at Year End

Go to HR/Payroll – Reports - Leave Run Leave Reports (HR/Payroll – Reports - Leave)

o Leave 40 – Approaching Maximum Accrual

o Leave 02 – Leave Transactions with Excess Leave Balances

o Leave 04 – Leave Liability by Account

Review 2017-2018 reports for needed leave adjustments

Post any remaining leaves requests

Pay off any Leave Balances

o Watch retirement coding

Pay out any Vacation (non-leave profile based)

o Watch retirement coding

Review Leave Balance Profiles for changes prior to the roll forward process for FY19

1. District Requests Roll Forward Leaves Balances to FY19 send email to

[email protected]

2. SCOE IT will roll forward the ending balances to beginning balance

3. DISTRICT Grants Leaves for July prior to Payroll deadline for the new year allocations

Warning - Once you load leaves, you will not be able to edit the transactions in the

Employee record!

At year end, you need to pay close attention to when the roll forward process is

complete. You should not load leaves until you have entered all prior year leave

transactions and finalized your roll forward balances.

If you have to post leaves for prior year 2017-18 (after you have rolled forward)

you will need to submit a help desk ticket to have them rolled back. Do not try to

enter them into the system they will not post to the prior year FY18, and will reflect

in the current year FY19.

Remember if you Roll Forward Leave Balances and any balance shows above the

carryover maximum it will create a negative adjustment.

o After completion, no processing of additional FY18 leave requests in FY18

Leaves can be done in FY19

Leaves will have FY18 dates but affect the FY19 rolled forward balances

o Cannot Process July Regular Payroll Unless Roll is Completed

ALLOW time to verify/review newly rolled leave balances

o Review Leave Transaction Summary (07/01/2018 date)

HR/Payroll Yearly Review 2018

HR/Payroll Yearly Review Page 19 5/8/18

Leave Balance Projections

Go to HR/Payroll – Setup – Leave- Balance Profiles

Leave projections can be used to notify an employee of what their balance will be

thru June. So, if you are a district that does not allow your employees to accrue

over a certain amount this may be a great tool. Recommended to run in March or

April to provide notice to the Employee.

Section 1 – Leave Balance Profile

1. Allow Projections for Accrual Basis:

a. If the Allow Projections is flagged with a “Yes” then the leave projections will be part of the Leave Granting Process.

b. Leave Projections do not show on the Employee Screen.

c. To view Leave Projections Run the Leave01 Report selecting the following Section 2 - Transaction Type criteria: Projected Grant

End of Year Leave Balances

Section 2 – Grant Information

1. Limit Carryover

Some districts allow employees to carry over all or some of their unused

leave to the next Fiscal Year.

a. Setting the Limit Carryover flag to “Yes” = Employee can carry over a certain amount of their unpaid leave

b. Setting the Limit Carryover flag to “No” = Employee can carry over ALL of their unused leave

HR/Payroll Yearly Review 2018

HR/Payroll Yearly Review Page 20 5/8/18

Section 3 – Balance Profile Grant Ranges

2. Max Carryover

a. Setting the Max Carryover flag will limit the amount of leave the employee can carryover. When leave balances are rolled forward, any remaining balances

will now be compared to the Max Carryover. If the leave balance is

greater than the carryover Escape will create an adjustment to

reset the balance to the max carryover amount.

Paying Off Leave Balances

Some districts pay off Leave Balances at the end of the year using an Addon. Upon

submission of posting leaves in Leave Status during the last earnings period, Escape

will create a leave adjustment to set the leave balance to zero. Escape will create

the addon adjustment in Adjust Payroll with the calculated amount for the

employee’s payoff.

Review your Addon, Organization Record and Leave Balance Profile to ensure that

it is set up properly. If you need setup/adjustments to the Addon submit an email

to [email protected]

1. Payoff Addon Setup:

Section 4 – Calculation

Rate 1 Option = D (Daily) or H (Hourly)

HR/Payroll Yearly Review Page 22 5/8/18

Excess Vacation Leave Balances

Depending upon your vacation leave set up, you can carryover and payout or you

can set it up not to accrue a liability.

To set up the vacation leave not to accrue a liability you can use the following set up:

Go to HR/Payroll – Setup – Leave- Balance Profiles 1. Open Leave Limit Leave Group 2. In Section 2 Limit Carryover = “Yes”

This will prevent excess grants from taking place, avoiding liability at the

year-end or upon early termination. Carry Over Max = Enter the desired limit

If the employee is over the max the vacation will not be granted. If the

vacation is not granted then you do not have a liability.

In Employee Management you can view the Units Exceeded Column. Escape

keeps a historical record of the excess available for viewing in the Leaves tab.

When your district allows carryover and pays out the rest, review your setup. If

your set up does not stop excess vacation leave balance you are required to

allow an employee to use or receive the equivalent pay.

The Leave Balance Profile record does allow you to choose one or the other, BUT

not both. If you find that an employee has accrued more than the maximum

carryover amount for vacation you can manually pay out the excess or adjust

the leave amount back to the employee’s original balance.

HEATHLY FAMILIES ACT (HFA) AB1522

Complying with the Healthy Families Act

The Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014 (AB 1522) was signed into

l aw on September 19, 2014. This act requires employers to provide sick leave to

employees who work in California for 30 or more days within a year. The sick

leave is accrued at a rate of no less than one hour for every 30 hours worked.

Although an employer can limit an employee's use of paid sick days to 24 hours or 3

days each year.

The following is a brief overview for complying with this new law:

o Set up a leave group that starts with the letters HFA, specify that leave group in a leave balance profile with no basis and no granting. The units may be set to hours or days, depending upon your district’s policy for granting sick leave.

o Assign that leave group to all applicable employees. o Monitor employee’s 30-day eligibility by entering the number of

days worked in the Employee tab in Additional Pay, or in Adjust Payroll or in Pay Manual Checks.

o Determine if District policy for Granting is Accrual or Up Front Method

o When eligibility is reached, grant sick leave based on your district’s policy
