Payroll Narrative Getting Started Getting Started with the O.S.A.S. Payroll System The Payroll System is designed to allow the operator to do the following: 1. Access System Variables. Most variables such as tax rates, district name headings, voluntary deduction types, deduction and withholding vendors, fringe distribution accounts, etc., are accessible by the operator. 2. Define Salary Schedules. Salaries are determined by matrix placement on salary schedules assigned and maintained by the user. These same schedules are copied and modified for use in the salary projection process. 3. Key employee master information. 4. Enter employee deductions, distribution to the budget, fiscal and calendar year-to-date, leave balances, biographical information, etc., which are all accessed interactively. 5. Keying for a payroll run is done on an exception basis. After all data is keyed and edited, payroll may be run repeatedly until correct. Checks may then be produced and distributed along with the appropriate summaries and reports. Costs are posted to the budget document by line on finalization of the payroll process. 6. Obtain on-demand listings of reports including distributions, voluntary deductions, leave, SAIF and retirement reports. 7. Run payroll and associated monthly, quarterly and annual reports. 8. Run multiple payrolls during one month. 9. Create projections on next year s payroll costs for budgetary purposes. 10. Place next year s payroll projections into the current year for the new fiscal year. ****NOTE: As with documentation for any system, it is critical that the operator have a comfortable knowledge of the physical steps involved in the application being documented without regard as to how the computer handles those steps. Without this knowledge, process and terminology may not be readily understood. Step 1: Creating Liability Vendors Payroll liabilities are created for fringes, voluntary deductions, and taxes as a result of running payroll. These are posted to liability vendors and held until the user is ready to pay them. The system is able to do this by requiring the user to assign numbers to each possible liability vendor (i.e. Blue Cross, Credit Union, the bank to which taxes are paid, etc.). These vendor numbers can be assigned by selecting option 13 on menu FN6730 (the second payroll menu). Liability vendor numbers may range from 01 to 98, assigning 99 to your district for the repayment of draws, etc. Some districts assign the numbers in groups (i.e., all insurance companies are in the number 10 group), while others assign numbers that follow no particular pattern. The numbers will be referred to when you assign fringes and/or deductions to an employee. You will indicate the kind of deduction desired and the COMPANY that will receive the monies. The system will report liabilities by company with totals for TYPES of liability (life, health, dues, etc.). Step 2: Establishing System Variables The System Variables is a file that contains information used to tailor the system to the user. Tax rates, deduction and fringe codes, SAIF rates, leave types, fringe accounts, etc., are examples of this information. The user must supply the necessary information as it applies to their district in the variables file for the system to function properly. 7

Payroll Narrative Getting Started Step 3: Create Salary Schedules/Rates Once the System variables are input, the next step is to create the salary schedules. These salary schedules are what the system will use to calculate salaries for each individual. The salary schedules only need to be put in the system one time. Future year s schedules will be calculated during the payroll projection process. Step 4: Entering Employees The next step is to actually enter the employees into the employee master file. For each employee, you will enter the information as to their master information (name, address, married, single, etc.), voluntary deductions, fringes, jobs information (salary schedule, row, column, etc.) certification and leave hours. At this point you are set up to run a payroll. Step 5: Setting the Control Record The next step is to specify which PAY CYCLES will be automatically selected for payment for the month. The Pay Cycle generally indicates employees not normally required to submit time cards for payment (salaried), such as teachers and administrative staff. Default values are also defined for weeks and days worked for each cycle and can be adjusted by time cards. Step 6: Entering Time Cards For hourly employees (or adjustment to salaried employees), TIME CARDS are keyed indicating hours worked, rates of pay, leave taken, adjustments to pay, etc. The time cards may be entered and listed for balancing all during the month or all at once at the end of the month as required. Step7: Calculate Salaries The CALCULATE SALARIES option may be done at any time before extension and will calculate an employees monthly salary based on the information entered on the jobs screen i.e, salary schedule, row, column, hours in a day, days to work, months to work, (number of checks) and FTE. This will change any information entered in the Hourly, Daily, Monthly, and Annual Salary fields unless a Y has been entered in the Override Salary Field. Step 8: Extending the Payroll The operator would now select the PAYROLL EXTENSION option from the menu. This option combines the automatically selected pay with the time cards and generates a payment record for the month for all employees that either have a time card or fall within the specified pay cycles. At the completion of the procedure, all calculations have been done for total pay, taxes, deductions, fringe benefits, and distribution to the budget. Step 9: Running/Balancing Payroll Reports The next step is to select the MONTHLY REPORTS option from the menu which will allow for the printing of any and/or all of the payroll reports associated with the current month s payroll (except checks). This would include Pay Registers, Deduction Registers, Retirement Reports, Worker s Compensation, Liability Reports, etc. These reports are used initially to balance the payroll before running checks and for use as audit reports after the payroll is completed. Any of the reports offered may be run as many times as desired at any time during the payroll process. As errors are discovered in 8

Payroll Narrative Getting Started the payroll balancing process, the operator makes corrections in either the time cards or the personnel information screen to correct the errors, re-runs the extension and report options until satisfied with the results. Step 10: Writing Checks The payroll checks are printed by selecting a menu option for that purpose which asks the operator for a beginning check number and date. The system will then prompt the system operator to change the forms in the printer to checks and the checks will be printed. Afterwards the system will prompt the system operator for the insertion of normal forms and the check register, complete with check numbers, will print. Step 11: Finalizing (Posting) Payroll Payroll is finalized by selecting a finalization option from the menu. Up to this point, the budget and accounting systems have not been affected by payroll. This allows the operator to run and re-run the payroll without commitment to the financial system until the last possible moment. Once this option has been selected however, the employees to-date information, as well as the accounting systems and payroll liabilities are updated. Step 12: Writing Liability (Vendor) Checks The last step in the monthly payroll is the payment of the payroll liabilities. The system allows for the adjustment of the amounts to pay when writing the payroll liability checks. As the checks are written, the liabilities are relieved in the financial system. This is the Main Menu. Option 3 is the gateway to the Payroll System 3 9

PAYROLL MENU #1 (Master Menu Option 3) This is the main menu used for the PAYROLL application. From this menu, the operator can control most all aspects of running a monthly payroll. You may select any menu option by entering the corresponding option number and depressing the CONTROL (enter) key. 10

OVERRIDE SALARY A Y in this field is necessary if no salary schedule is assigned to the job. A monthly amount would need to be entered for the employee to be paid. An alternative to overrides should be considered such as creating a salary schedule just for that employee or adding a row or column to accommodate the salary of this employee, since salary overrides inhibit the ability to include employees with overrides in the projected payroll process. OVERRIDE PAY CYCLE This feature can be used to divide a pay cycle into sub groups in order to pay members in the same pay cycle at different times. Any two digit number can be assigned in this field as an override pay cycle code, with the only limitation being that the code not is not already in use as one of your normal pay cycles. This override code will first need to be defined in the Payroll System Variables file ( Option3/Selection 8). The override feature can then be activated in the Payroll Control Record ( Option 13) by entering Y in the Use Override Pay in Control Record option. The pay cycles to pay are then entered in the control record. If an override pay cycle is selected, it will pay all jobs for all employees with that override code. If a normal pay cycle is selected, it will exclude anyone with an override pay code. This feature can be useful for summer payrolls where a part of the employees are paid once in June and a part are paid over two or three months. JOB STARTING/JOB ENDING DATE These fields can be used to indicate the date on which work for a particular job will or did commence and/or cease. These fields can effect the inclusion of active jobs in the payroll process. If the job end date is lower than the payroll control date, the job will not be included in the payroll. Conversely, if the job start date is higher than the control date, the job will not be included. SEPARATE CHECK FLAG This field is used to indicate that a separate check should be issued for this job. This allows certain jobs (like extra duty pay, etc) to be paid on a separate check. It can also be used to process a manual check and a system generated check in the same payroll. If this field is used, there are some things to consider: - This field defaults to 0 which will always be the first check and the number assigned to the primary job. - Separate checks are requested by entering a 1 (or if you need another, 2, etc.) must be generated with N for voluntary deductions. All voluntary deductions and any outstanding draws must be taken on the first check. 25

Option 1 (F6) Jobs Screen (cont.) - The tax status choices on the master screen will apply to both checks. The only exception to this is the additional withholding tax. Any extra State or Federal withholding will be taken only on the first check. - If the employee has direct deposit, it will apply to both checks (unless manual/prepay check info was entered). The direct deposit file will show a separate entry for each item. - Fringes will be allocated according to the flags set on the job screen. This means that Fringes can be spread across both checks, or allocated on the first check only. - A manual (prepay) check may be processed on the same run with a live check ONLY if there are no voluntary deductions on the manual check. INCLUDE FTE IN BUDGET This field allows the user to request that the Full Time Equivalency (FTE) be used in the projected payroll process to prorate salary for the budget. INCLUDE FTE IN FRINGE CALC? This field allows the option to decide whether the FTE for a job is to be used in the calculation of projected fringe benefits. This can be helpful if an employee s FTE exceeds 1.0 due to extra duty contracts, vacation jobs, or stipends that are entered as jobs. SC This field defines the salary schedule from which the employee s rate of pay is calculated. Salary Schedules are created and defined in Payroll Menu #1 ( Option 7) ROW and COLUMN These fields indicate an employee s current position on the salary schedule, which in turn determines rate of pay. HID This field defines the number of Hours in a Day that an employee works. It is a 4 position, 2 decimal field. 8 hours would be entered as 0800. DTW This field defines the contracted number of days (Days to Work) that the employee will work for the contract year. MW This Months to Work field is used to determine the number of checks over which the pay for the contracted year should be spread (i.e. some employees work 10 months but receive 12 checks). FTE This field is used to show the Full Time Equivalency rating for an employee. The system assumes 100 for full time employees if the field is left blank. The entry for a half time employee would be 500. If this field is used, the rate located on the specified position of the salary schedule will be multiplied by the number entered here to obtain the proper rate of pay. 26

Option 1 (F6) Jobs Screen (cont.) RATES OF PAY The HOURLY, DAILY, MONTHLY and ANNUAL rates of pay are either keyed by the operator using the override salary indicator or are calculated with the use of the salary schedule and horizontal/vertical locations. If the employee is salaried (paid from a Job screen), the monthly rate will be the assumed pay. If the employee is paid from a time card, the hourly rate will be assumed. MONTHLY ADJUSTMENTS The MONTHLY adjustment field can be used to adjust the monthly pay for this employee. This field can be entered as either a positive or a negative number. BUDGET ACCOUNT Enter the 18 digit budget account number distribution(s) for this employee. Each job can be distributed to up to 7 different budget account numbers. Any 0 s at the end of the account number must be keyed. PERCENT Enter the percentage of salary that is to be distributed to this account number. 100% would be entered as 10000, 95% as 9500. (The total of all budget account number percentages must equal 100.) FRINGE Enter an N into this field if fringe is NOT to be distributed to this account number. A Y is assumed if the field is left blank. MEDICARE This field is used to flag the distributed amounts for inclusion in the Medicare Admin Claiming process. $ DISTRIBUTION These amounts indicate percentage of monthly distribution respective to each budget account, but press F11, and. 27

Option 1 (F6) Jobs Screen (cont.) Using the F11 key, the figures now reflect the annual percentage of distribution!! SUBJECT TO SAIF This field allows the user to designate the hours paid for this job as non subject wages for SAIF. One can override the SAIF code assigned in the Employee Master File. The SAIF hours should be given here as they relate to this job screen. 8 hours would be expressed as 0800. CALCULATION of SALARY The option exists to calculate a salary for a single job screen. Any change to the job screen that would affect calculation of salaries will result in an immediate on-screen recalculation and a screen prompt Salary Info Has Changed, Press Enter to Confirm or F6 to Cancel. At this point, press enter to save the changes or hit F6 to return to the Job Scan screen without saving the changes. Changes to any of this info will result in this message. 28

Option 1 (F8) Payroll History Screen This screen will list all payrolls for an employee. Once a specific payroll is selected, the detail screen for that payroll will appear. This data is for information of record only and cannot be changed. 29

Option 1 (F9) Payroll Comment Screen This screen allows the district to store information about an employee. The comment scan screen will display first. From this screen, you can edit and delete existing comments, or press F10 and add a new comment. This is the add/update comment screen. The date will default to the current date, but can be changed. The Type Code is an optional single character field. In the example above, all comments pertaining to tardiness have been assigned Type Code L. While these comments don t print anywhere in the system, you do have the ability to generate reports in Query using this information. You might want to develop meaningful alphabetic codes that will help you in the query process to recognize specific types of comments. This field can hold the name of the person making/requesting the comment. 30

Option 1 (F14) Personnel Master Screen This screen enables the user to enter information which can be used for reporting to ODE.

Option 3- Access System Variables Creating Payroll System Variable Information Before you begin entering information into your variables file, you will need to decide on the certain codes and descriptions that your district will be using and that are necessary to the system. It may be helpful to print the system variables file initially (PAYROLL MENU Option 3 Print System Variables File) to use as a work copy while choosing these codes and descriptions. Also, after assigning this information, you may want to print a final copy of the system variables as you will refer to it many times in the future. Some things to consider when choosing and assigning the different system variables might be: 1). Pay Codes Determine how many different types of employees you have. Assign a one digit number to each type (e.g. 1 Certified, 2 Classified, 3 Administration, 4 Confidential). 2). Pay Cycles Pay cycles are used to segregate certain groups of employees (e.g. 9 months, 10 months, 12 months, etc.). Assign each group a one digit number. Keep in mind that you will be using these codes to select employees for payment during a payroll run. 3). Voluntary Deduction Codes Assign each type of voluntary deduction and alphabetic code. For example, annuities might be assigned an A, credit union might be assigned a C, and so on. 4). Extra Curricular Codes The extra curricular codes are used to assign a rate to specific jobs on the extra curricular salary schedule. An example of an extra duty contract might be coaching. The extra curricular codes are three characters long, the first character being major class (A-Z), the second being minor class (1-9), and step (1-9). 5). Vendor Numbers Assign each Payroll Vendor a two digit code. These codes will run from 01 to 99. If you are doing this alphabetically, be sure to leave room in between to add more vendors later. Normally, your own school district is assigned the code of 99. 6). Salary Schedule Numbers Assign a two digit code (schedule number) for each different salary type. For example, the operator might set up the following five schedules: Administrators, Certified, Confidential, Classified/Hourly, and Classified/Monthly. For each salary schedule assigned, it will be necessary to designate the schedule description, number of rows, number of columns, annual promotion movement, schedule type (hourly/monthly/annual), row descriptions, column descriptions, and schedule rates. The Federal I.D. Number is used on the W/2 s and the Social Security 941 report. The Federal I.D. Number, State I.D. Number, and P.E.R.S. I.D. Number are used on W/2 s. The P.E.R.S. Employer Number and County are used only on the Annual Retirement Report. 44

Option 3- Access System Variables (cont.) Assigning Payroll System Variables Initially, and on occasion during the year, certain information for the payroll system must be created or changed by the operator. These changes include tax tables, SAIF rates, voluntary deduction or fringe code assignments, etc. The operator may effect these changes by selecting OPTION 3 from the PAYROLL MENU (). After choosing to ACCESS THE SYSTEM VARIABLES file, press ENTER to continue. From this screen, the entire Variables File may be printed for reference once the variables are defined. 45

Option 3- Access System Variables (cont.) Once the System Variables File has been accessed, a secondary selection menu is presented so that the specific information to be defined/changed may be selected. The documentation on the screen will guide the operator through the necessary steps to effect the change. Following are examples of each of the specific screens available when one of 19 options is selected. These screens allow the operator to make those changes necessary to the Payroll System. *** The changes made here become affective IMMEDIATELY*** 46

Option 3/Selection 1 & 2 FEDERAL Tax Tables, SINGLE and MARRIED. These tax tables must be updated on a yearly basis by the operator as the Federal Tables change. 47

Option 3/Selection 3 F.I.C.A. / P.E.R.S. Rates & Limits After entering F.I.C.A. and P.E.R.S. rates, it is necessary to enter identification information. The ODE Employer Institution ID is used to populate this field on the ODE screens when you enter new employees. The Federal I.D. Number is used on the W/2 s and the Social Security 941 report. The Federal I.D. Number, State I.D. Number, and P.E.R.S. I.D. Number are used on W/2 s. The P.E.R.S. Employer Number and County are used only on the Annual Retirement Report. Option 3/Selection 4 & 5 STATE tax tables, SINGLE and MARRIED 48

These tax tables must be updated on a yearly basis by the operator as the State Tables change. Option 3/Selection 6 S.A.I.F. Rates & Descriptions 49

The following are menu options for accessing and editing State Accident Insurance Fund (S.A.I.F.) information. Command 1 will take you back to the previous screen. Option 3/Selection 6/Sub-selection 1 Carrier Details 50

Contact information and any applicable volume discount information are entered in this screen. This information can be found on your Workers Compensation Annual Rate Quote. Press Command 1 to return to the previous screen. Option 3/Selection 6/Sub-selection 2 Job Classification Data 51

This is the screen where information is entered/ edited for the employee base rate. Your district s particular class codes and the base rates for each code should be listed on your annual policy renewal agreement from your worker s compensation carrier. This screen also allows the addition (Command 6) or the deletion (Command 8) of class codes, as needed. Command 1 will return to previous screen. Option 3/Selection 6/Sub-selection 3 Policy Information 52

Use this screen when entering information particular to you worker s compensation policy. This information can be found on your annual renewal agreement and will include such information as your districts experience and discount rates. Much of the information on this screen will be entered as a percentage (%). See on-screen note for percentage format. Command 1 will return to previous screen. Option 3/Selection 6/Sub-selection 4 Manual Adjustments 53

This screen is used to enter flat rate premium adjustments, as needed. Command 1 will return to previous screen. Option 3/Selection 6/Sub-selection 5 Premium Calculation 54

This selection allows you to verify the data that has been entered / edited in the previous 4 selections and will calculate a premium based upon that data. This should be compared and reconciled to the estimated premium given on the annual policy renewal notice by your district s worker s compensation carrier. Option 3/Selection 7 PAY CODE Descriptions 55

The PAY CODE is a one digit number assigned to employees to identify them as being certified, classified, administration, etc. This code is not used in the payroll system, but exists for the user to utilize with Query report writing. Option 3/ Selection 8 PAY CYCLE Descriptions 56

The PAY CYCLE is a 2 digit numeric code that identifies an employee as being part of a group of employees that will receive a check at the same time during the month and will always be paid together. For example: certified 10 month staff could be on pay cycle 1, certified 12 month staff could be on pay cycle 2, while administrative 12 month staff might be assigned pay cycle 3. This allows for differences in payroll effective dates among the different (pay cycle) groups for the same pay period. For example, the certified 10 month employees checks (for June, July and August) must all be paid in June while the administrative employee s checks (for June, July and August) will be paid in June, July and August. In addition, each employee will be assigned a job code and each job code could be assigned different pay cycle codes. This code is needed for extra duty contracts, etc., where an employee s normal pay is assigned one pay cycle and the extra duty another. Option 3/Selection 9 Voluntary Deductions/Taxable Fringes 57

DEDUCTION CODES are defined here and assigned a single digit alphabetic character (A-Z). The letter A might represent Annuities, the letter C might represent Credit Union, etc. 58

Option 3/Selection 9 Voluntary Deductions/Taxable Fringes (cont.) After assigning a Deduction Code, you will be able to define the code as follows: DEDUCT DESCRIPTION Enter the deduction code description here. PAYROLL DRAW Is this deduction type a Payroll Draw? If so, enter Y in this field, otherwise leave blank. ONE TIME DEDUCT Is this deduction type only to be deducted from the employees check the first time and inactivated thereafter? If so, enter Y into this field. SECTION 125 Is the deduction type exempt from FICA, Federal and State Withholding as part of an approved Section 125 plan? If so, enter Y into this field. DEPENDENT CARE SEC125 Is the deduction type a Section 125 specifically for dependant child care? If so, enter Y here. EXEMPT FROM TAXES Is the deduction type exempt from FICA? Enter F in this field. Is the deduction type exempt from State and Federal withholding? Enter S in this field. Is the deduction type exempt from FICA, Federal and State withholding, but not part of an approved section 125 plan? If so enter A into this field. If none of these apply, leave this field blank. PRINT ON W-2 Will this deduction type need to print on the W-2 s at year end? If so, enter Y in this field. Box 12 Code (A-Z) These are IRS codes which can be found in annual reporting publications from the Social Security Administration. BOX 14 DESCRIPTION Enter a description for the IRS code used in Box 12 as you would like it to read on the W-2. The FRINGE CODES are assigned in the same manner as the deduction codes but must be assigned by S.C.E.S.D. Fringe codes are given a single digit numeric code (1-9). Standard Fringes can be assigned numbers 1 thru 5 and will include only the fringes that are not taxable such as health, life, dental, or disability insurance, etc.). Taxable fringes are numbers 6 thru 9. These are preset and cannot be changed. 59

Option 3/Selection 10 DISTRICT Name & Address The District s Name and Address are defined here and will appear on all reports as entered. 60

Option 3/Selection 11 JOB CODE Descriptions The JOB CODE is a 3 digit numeric code defined by the operator and used to identify specific jobs offered by the District. This field is useful when pulling QUERY reports to list employees in specific job classifications. Any description entered will print on the check stub for each job paid. 61

Option 3/Selection 12 FRINGE Account Assignment The 200 object accounts for all fixed costs are assigned here. The system will calculate the percentage of total gross that applies to each 100 salary account distribution for the employee and apply that percentage of the fixed costs to the specific 200 accounts defined here. 62

Option 3/Selection 13 Payroll TAX VENDOR Numbers Enter the appropriate payroll vendor number for each of the following taxes. These numbers must be previously defined in the Payroll Vendor File (FN6730 Option 3, Selection 22, Subselection 13). The vendor numbers entered here will indicate which vendors will be paid as a result of finalizing payroll and running payroll vendor checks. 63

Option 3/Selection 14 P/R to G/L Interface Codes S.C.E.S.D. suggests using the following G/L account numbers for all districts: 64

Option 3/Selection 15 P/R Method Selections Payroll Methods are defined in this screen. The manual method is preferable for those districts having mostly salaried employees who do not use time cards. In this case, the budget account codes for the salaried employees are pulled from the Payroll Master File Job Screen (FN6730 Option 3/Selection 1/Command 6). The extended time entry method will recall the rate of pay and budget account numbers for employees who are paid using a time card, so all that needs to be entered are the hours worked. Encumbrance of Payroll When this option is selected, the annual payroll budget is added to the balance sheet as a (pass through) budget account. AS400 then reduces the amount encumbered by 1/12 after each month end. This can be a useful tool in determining if there are misallocations to salary budget accounts. 65

Option 3/Selection 16 Employer/Employee Workday Tax Employer/Employee Workday Tax information must be updated annually as rates change. 66

Option 3/Selection 17 Earned Income Credit Current Earned Income Tax Tables are entered here. This information can be found in the IRS Circular E and must be updated annually. 67

Option 3/Selection 18 Leave Types to Print on Paychecks Here you may choose up to four leave types to print on paychecks. Leave types must be previously defined in the Leave System Menu - Payroll Menu () Option 24 /Selection 2 68

Option 3/Selection 19 Direct Deposit Please call OSAS Support at (541)-266-4041 for help with this selection. 69

Option 4 Access SAIF History Files This option allows the user to access a history of SAIF hours on a selected employee by pay period ending date. 70

Option 5 - Calculate an Individual Check This screen can be a very useful tool for estimating net pay based on tax/deduction scenarios that are entered. When an employee is selected here, any information from the Employee Master File is pulled in which affects net pay (i.e. voluntary deductions, Section 125, extra tax withholding, PERS coding, etc.) One can then enter gross wages and see net pay calculated on the screen. Any information on the screen can be modified and one can immediately see the effect on net pay. None of the information entered here is saved. Permanent changes to withholdings/deductions must be made in the Employee Master File. ****This screen should not be used for Lump Sum Vacation Payments or other types of Lump Sum payments as it is not designed to address the complexity of PERS calculations for payments of this type. 71

Option 6 -Access Payroll History File This option allows the user to pull up payroll history on any employee by pay period end date. 72

Option 7 - Access Schedules/Rates Salary schedules and corresponding rates are defined within this menu. NOTE: While defining salary schedules, it may be helpful to print out a salary schedule listing once the initial definition is done. That is, at the point where all information has been entered except the rates. This salary schedule can be used as a work copy when defining or redefining those rates. These schedules are used to calculate the hourly, monthly, and annual salaries of the employees by first assigning a value to each cell on a schedule, and then placing the employee (through vertical and horizontal placement) on one of those cells. The operator may print a salary schedule or schedules by selecting OPTION 5 from the PAYROLL MENU #2 (FN6730). 73

Option 7/Selection (S) Schedule Descriptions Salary Schedules are assigned a two digit number and are further defined here. 74

Option 7/Selection (R) Row Descriptions Every Row must have a description. For example, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, etc. or 1, 2, 3, etc. It does not matter what the description is as long as it is entered. 75

Option 7/Selection(C) Column Descriptions Enter the schedule number and the column number you wish to enter a description for. (Every column must also have a description.) The following screen will appear: COLUMN DESCRIPTION There are two column description lines available to enter information in. Once all the salary schedule information is entered, and a schedule is printed, you may find that by moving the description over to the right (by hitting the space bar a couple of times before entering the description) that the column description will line up better over the top of the columns, creating a more uniform looking salary schedule. 76

Option 7/Selection Schedule Rates Once the salary schedule descriptions are entered, the dollar amount of each cell on the schedule needs to be entered. (You will only need to build the salary schedules the first time as they will be created for future years by the Payroll Projection procedures.) After enter the schedule, row and column number the following screen will appear: Enter the dollar amount for this cell and hit field exit. $1,605.00 would be entered as 165000 (field exit) while $1.65 would be entered as 165 (field exit). After entering the dollar amounts for each cell of the schedule, the schedule may be printed. 77

Option 8 Calculate Salaries As indicated on the screen, this option will update any information entered into the Jobs screen of the Employee Master File. Any salary info entered manually will be overwritten unless the record is flagged with a Y in the override salary field of the If changes are made to an employee s salary schedule, this option must before the new information will become effective. 78

Option 9 List Jobs by Pay Cycle This option will generate a report listing employees in alphabetical order by Pay Cycle. It will list the detail for each Job Code assigned to an employee. This report detail includes Job Description, Budget Account Allocation, Salary Schedule Placement, FTE, Salary Rate, Worker s Comp Code, etc. 79

Option 10- Access Payroll Draw File Prior to issuing payroll draws, the following steps must be taken: (1) In the Payroll Variables file, the PR to GL interface code must have a GL account assigned for draws. This will be the liability account assigned to your district. (2) In the Payroll Vendor file, vendor 99 must be the district, and it must have as the liability account the SAME GL account as in (1). 80

Option 10- Access Payroll Draw File (cont.) (3) This draw GL account must be set up in Fund 100 as all liabilities are paid out of this fund. (4) In the Payroll Variables file, under voluntary deductions, there must be a letter-coded deduction type for draws, and this must have Y under draw and Y under one-time. 81

Option 10- Access Payroll Draw File (cont.) (5) Each employee who is getting a draw must have a deduction (F3) screen set up for draws to give the deduction a place to post. This deduction screen will be created automatically if the Draw System is used to cut the check or if a manual check is entered and posted as a prepay using the Draw System. If a manual draw check is cut, but not entered and posted as a prepaid check in the Draw System, the draw deduction screen must be set up manually to relieve the liability to the district. This should be done using the deduction code established in (4) and the vendor would be 99. (6) In the draw file, there are three kinds of draws: Permanent, Temporary and Extra. The Permanent draw will be selected and run every time you ask for a run of draws. The Temporary draws will be issued once, along with the Permanent draws, and then will be deactivated. The Extra draws are run alone, and then deactivated. Use of the Extra draw keeps the user from having to deactivate the Permanent draws when the need to run a run a temporary draw arises. 82

Option 10- Access Payroll Draw File (cont.) If the Draw File is used to generate the check, the offsetting deduction in the employee s Master file is entered automatically upon running Option 12 (Print/Post Draw Checks). If the user is entering a prepaid or manual draw check, the information at the bottom of the screen should be completed. Option 11 (Edit Draw File) should be run to verify the data. Option 11- Print Draw File Edit This option provides the user with a register of draws that have been entered in the Draw file for review and/or edit prior to printing of draw checks. 83

Option 12- Print/Post Draw Checks The user can select which types of draws to include in the check run. Once the checks have printed successfully, answer the prompt with a 0. This will post your draw checks. There is not separate menu option for posting of draw checks. If the checks did not print correctly, answer 1 at the prompt and repeat Option 12 to print before posting. 0 Answer 0 here to post draw checks or 1 to Cancel. How do I know if my checks printed properly? From screen you may hit the Esc key to access Report Manager. From here, you can view and/or print the checks, prior to returning to this screen to answer the prompt. Click here for more details on Report Manager. 84

Option 13- Access Payroll Control Record The Payroll Posting/Control Date is the date to which the payroll will be posted to the budget and G/L, unless the deferred payroll option is used. Per BOLI requirements, this screen allows the user to enter different pay period dates for salaried & time card employees, if necessary. The check message allows the printing of greetings or other information on the employees checks for the current run. This is an optional field. The Leave as of field will be the cutoff date you select for the leave shown on pay stubs. Up to four leave types will fit on a pay stub. The Defer Payroll to field allows the user the ability to post the cost of a payroll to one fiscal period and defer payment of the resulting liabilities until the checks are issued in another fiscal period (i.e., summer payrolls where checks are cut in June and not distributed until July or August). Other Payroll Options-The option to run a payroll without including the fringes and or/voluntary deduction is offered on this screen The SAIF codes shown on the screen are used where non-paid personnel (students) must be covered by the insurance and so must be included in the S.A.I.F. report. As noted on the screen, the amounts placed herein are NOT posted to the budget or general ledger, but ARE included in the figures on the S.A.I.F. report. 85

Option 13- Access Payroll Control Record (cont.) This very important screen is where you select who will be paid in the current payroll. All active employees in a selected pay cycle will be paid, as well as any employees for whom a timecard has been keyed. For employees having both a selected pay cycle and a timecard, the system will pay them their salary adjusted by the value of their time cards (plus or minus). The days worked column can be a monthly average of the number of days an employee in that cycle will have worked, or, if your district keeps a calendar, you may enter the exact number of days worked within the pay period. The information in this field is used in the SAIF premium calculations. Any changes to the days worked should be made using timecards for each individual employee. The Override PERS code can be used to modify the wage code for employees of a particular pay cycle in a payroll without having to change the PERS code on the master screen of each employee to be paid. The most common situation for use of the Override PERS code is that of 10 month employees who receive 12 checks. Checks 11 and 12 for this group of employees could be paid using PERS Override Code 8, which is defined by PERS as subject wages for which no hours were worked. The option to 86

Option 14- Access Time Cards Time Cards can be used for any one or a combination of the following functions: 1. A source of total payment for any employee (normally non-salaried) 2. To adjust the pay of any employee 3. To adjust days or weeks for any employee 4. To suppress check writing (due to a prepay) for any employee 5. To suppress calculation of voluntary deductions for any employee 6. To suppress calculation of district paid benefits for any employee There are two methods of time card entry available. The Manual method and the Extended method. The method of choice may be selected in the Payroll Variables File -Option 15. Below is an example of the Manual Timecard Scan Screen. If an employee has more than one timecard, this screen will appear listing each timecard with a corresponding number used to view or edit the timecard. To add a new record, press enter. Once a number has been selected, the time card detail screen will appear: 87

Option 14 Access Time Cards (cont.) Time Card Type purposes: This code is used to identify the time card as being keyed for the following T R V Regular time card affecting gross pay, hours, fringes, voluntary deductions or indicating prepayment. Time card entry used to adjust the PERS subject wages and/or PERS deduction from a previous pay period. Time card generated by the system to adjust SAIF hours and/or subject wages due to vacation taken and recorded in the leave system. Separate Check Flag This field is used to indicate that a separate check should be issued for this job. This allows certain jobs (like extra duty pay, etc) to be paid on a separate check. It can also be used to process a manual check and a system generated check in the same payroll. If this field is used, there are some things to consider: - This field defaults to 0 which will always be the first check and the number assigned to the primary job. - Separate checks are requested by entering a 1 (or if you need another, 2, etc.) must be generated with N for voluntary deductions. All voluntary deductions and any outstanding draws must be taken on the first check. 88

Option 14 Access Time Cards (cont.) - The tax status choices on the master screen will apply to both checks. The only exception to this is the additional withholding tax. Any extra State or Federal withholding will be taken only on the first check. - If the employee has direct deposit, it will apply to both checks (unless manual/prepay check info was entered). The direct deposit file will show a separate entry for each item. - Fringes will be allocated according to the flags set on the job screen. This means that Fringes can be spread across both checks, or allocated on the first check only. - A manual (prepay) check may be processed on the same run with a live check ONLY if there are no voluntary deductions on the manual check. Hours/Dollars Field Definitions Regular Hours This field is used for any hours that are associated with the normal pay for the employee. If the employee has a contract, it is suggested that you reserve the regular hours and earnings fields for amounts that apply to the contract. Regular Dollars This is the dollar amount of normal pay for this employee. If regular hours and a dollar rate are given, that calculation will be placed here. If an amount is keyed here, that will override the hours times the rate. Again, it is suggested that you reserve regular hours and earnings fields for amounts that apply to a contract, if applicable, to this employee. Hourly Rate Any rate keyed here will override the normal hourly rate for this employee. Sub Hours This is a comment field that can be used at the district s discretion. This field is not used in the calculation of pay or hours worked. It can, however, be selected for use with Query and Report Writer. Overtime Hours & Dollars These fields are used for any overtime hours worked by the employee. The hourly rate will be multiplied by 1.5 to calculate the pay. If a dollar amount is keyed in, it will override the calculation. Other Hrs & Dollars These fields are used to adjust the employee s pay for amounts other than the normal contract. Hours keyed here will be multiplied by the normal hourly rate unless a dollar amount in entered. Lump Sum Vacation Dollars & Lump Sum Payoff Dollars These fields are used for certain types of payments to ensure that the payments are listed in the correct Payment Category of the PERS EDX filing. See the PERS Employer Manual for more information. Account Number This group of fields is used to enter a budget account number that will be used to distribute the value of this time card and its fixed costs. No account number is needed IF the employee has a primary job and this time is to be charged to the account(s) assigned to that primary job in the employee s master file. If an account number is entered and the timecard 89

Option 14 Access Time Cards (cont.) has a gross value, the gross and associated fixed costs will be charged according to the percentage of total gross value for this time card vs. the overall gross pay for the employee. Voluntary Deduction Flag An N in this field will suppress the taking of the voluntary deductions for this employee for this payroll. Fringe Code This code is used to control the calculation of district paid fringes (such as medical, dental, TSAs) for this employee. 0 - This default code indicates that all fringes will be accrued 1 - No fringes will be calculated for this employee for this payroll 2 - Fringes will be calculated but will not be distributed to the 200 object accounts of the budget accounts indicated on this time card, but instead will be distributed to the 200 objects of the budget accounts assigned to the employee s primary job. Prepay Check # / Date These Fields are used when the employee has already been paid for the pay period with a manual check. The existence of a check # and date indicates to the system that a check should not be printed for this employee. Amount for Meals This field can be used to enter a taxable amount for meals. Any amount entered here will be added to gross pay for tax calculation ONLY. It will also be added to box 14 of the employees W-2. PERS Wage Code This field is used in DTL2 wage and service records to tell PERS whether or not the wages qualify for contributions (i.e. Wage Code 1 Regular Wages, Wage Code 2- Regular-Non Qualifying). See PERS employer Manual for complete listing. Previous Pay Date This field is used to enter the date of the previously reported payroll being adjusted by a Wage Code 5 or 6 (positive or negative adjustment). See PERS Employer Manual for more information Work Comp Code This field can be used to override the work comp code assigned in the employee s Master File and/or Job Screens. If no code is entered here, it will pull the code from the employee s Master File. Subject to SAIF This field defaults to yes (blank). If wages are not subject, enter N. Medicaid Admin This field is used to capture the timecard information for Medicaid billing. 90

Option 14 - Access Extended Timecards This is the Extended Timecard Scan Screen. The Extended Time Card Program should be used for districts having employees who are frequently paid using multiple rates of pay and multiple budget account numbers. Unlike the Manual time card scan screen, timecards are not assigned a number. This method of timecard entry remembers the budget account numbers and rates of pay from previous payrolls, making it possible to simply key the hours worked for the current payroll. The F6 key keeps the cursor in the Regular Hours field for rapid hours-only entry. Any of the information on the screen may be edited. Press enter to save the changes. To view the detail for a timecard, it is first necessary to unlock the records. This is done using the F5 key. This gives the user access to the far left column of the scan screen. To view a time card record, enter a Z (zoom) in this field. To delete a record without viewing it, enter a D (delete) in this field. To add a new record from this screen, press F10. Hourly rate pulls from the Primary Job, unless a different rate is keyed. Totals for hours and dollars 91

Option 15- Print Timecard Edit This option will enable you to review and edit timecard entries by generating the following report: Missing or invalid budget account numbers will show as non-allocated time on this report. This report is used to validate budget account numbers and social security numbers. Any errors found should be corrected and this edit rerun before extending the payroll. 92

Option 16- Extend Payroll This step has many functions of which the operator must be aware while running the payroll. After this procedure is run, the entire calculation process for payroll has been completed. To start the process, the operator must select OPTION 16 on the PAYROLL MENU (). It is possible to run this calculation process without calculating a direct deposit file. This can be useful for situations where paper checks are desired for all employees within a payroll run regardless of direct deposit preference (i.e. holiday bonus checks). It is also possible to run the final calculations without including any time cards entered. This would pull in only the pay cycles selected within the Payroll Control Record. This option is useful in balancing salaried components of a payroll to manual control methods such as spreadsheets. The resulting functions which this step initiates, in order of occurrence, are: 1. Time Card Extension The system determines the rates, etc., that have not been supplied and writes them into the time cards. The hours are then multiplied by the rates, and the gross is calculated for each time card. 2. Create Current Earnings from Time Cards and Auto Selection The employees that are on monthly contract are checked for cycle selection in the payroll control record. If the employee s cycle has been selected, a current earnings record is created which will cause a check to be printed for the employee. 93

Option 16- Extend Payroll (cont.) If a time card has been keyed for an employee that also has been selected by pay cycle, the value of the time card will be added to the amounts created by the pay cycle selection. If a time card is keyed for an employee whose job screen was not selected via the pay cycle, a current earnings record is created for that employee with a value totaling that of the time cards keyed for the employee. 3. Create Cost Distribution The budget cost distribution records are created from the time cards and the employee distribution file. These records are stored until the finalization procedure wherein the fringes and fixed costs are calculated and distributed proportionately to the 200 line items specified by the operator in the systems variable file. 4. Calculate Taxes The taxes are calculated and voluntary deductions are subtracted to come to a gross-to-net figure. The results of this calculation are written back into the current earnings record in readiness for the writing of checks and various other reports. Some of the fringes and fixed costs are calculated and written back into the current earnings record here as well. If errors exist which prohibit calculation and distribution of payroll information, this message will display. A Payroll Jobs Process Error Report will be sent to the outq of the person who ran the extension process. *** If, after completing this step and running the various reports, any errors are found, they must be corrected. The Extension process must be run again to incorporate the correcting entries into the payroll calculations. The Extension process may be run as many times as necessary until the desired figures are reached and all is in balance. 94

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports This screen offers the opportunity to print selected reports after having extended the payroll. The process of running monthly reports, correcting errors, re-extending payroll and re-running reports for the monthly payroll can repeated as many times as is necessary in order to obtain an error free payroll. The report choices shown by taking OPTION 17 from the PAYROLL MENU () may be run all at once or selectively, so if problems should occur in one area, it will not be necessary to print all of the reports to correct it. These reports may initially be used to balance the payroll and then later serve as information of record. Once familiar with the monthly reports, the user may save their default settings by using the CMD 4 key. This feature remembers which reports were selected for default. These can then be run automatically by using the CMD 5 key. Reports can be selected ala carte without using the CMD 5 key. The following pages show examples of each report offered here. NOTE: These reports may not be run after payroll has posted, as the information they contain is added to history and deleted from the current payroll file. Once the payroll is balanced and the checks are cut, any reports should be printed prior to posting the payroll. 95

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports/ Payroll Registers The first two reports offered are payroll registers which can be printed by (a)lpha or (c)hecksort order. Both versions include a breakdown of direct deposit totals by vendor on the final page. 96

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Payroll Registers (Cont.) Third menu option is the Check vs. Direct Deposit Register which lists the checks in alpha order with totals, then the direct deposits in alpha order with totals and then grand totals on the final page. 97

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Payroll Registers (Cont.) The fourth option listed is a horizontal register. This version gives the same data in a condensed format. 98

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Payroll Balancing Summary This is the Payroll Balancing Summary. It is very useful in viewing the big picture for each payroll. This report gives a breakdown of gross wages, subject gross wages, fringes, and voluntary deductions. It gives totals for net pay and liabilities to calculate total payroll cost. It also shows the calculation of subject wages for Medicare and Federal Withholding. It lists the total number of paychecks, total number of hours and shows how many of the total employees paid had activity for each liability heading (i.e. in the example shown there are 86 employees paid, 79 are active PERS members, 31 have active disability insurance fringes, etc.) 99

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Payroll Deduction Register This is the Deduction/Fringes by Employee report. This register lists voluntary deductions and nonstatutory district paid fringes in alphabetical order by employee. This is the Deduction/Fringes by Vendor report. This register lists the same deductions and non-statutory district paid fringes as the previous report. It shows totals by vendor in vendor number order. 100

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / PERS Reports The PERS report can be run in Alpha order or in SS# order. The following example is shown in Alpha. The PERS Probationary Report can be run to monthly to help keep track of the 6 month probationary status of new employees. 101

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Detailed Work Comp Report This is the SAIF Summary report. It will show Subject Gross wages, Subject Hours, Total Hours and Total Cost. The far right column will indicate hours/wages generated by job screens with a J. If the J is absent, the hours/wages resulted from a timecard entry. The last page shows grand totals by column and totals per class code. 102

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Monthly SAIF Report The SAIF Summary Report can be submitted as backup with the monthly premium. 103

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Payroll Vendor Liability List The payroll vendor check register details current payroll liabilities by vendor, as well as calendar year to date totals by vendor. 104

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Distribution Fringe Detail This payroll distribution report gives detailed information on associated payroll costs by employee/ budget account/ object. 105

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Distribution PERS Detail The PERS distribution gives detail by employee for subject wages, employer contributions for Tiers 1, 2 and 3, and any amounts paid by the district as a result of having bonded to cover unfunded actuarial liabilities (UAL). 106

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Distribution by Account Number This report provides detail by account number for each employee. 107

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Deduction Workfile Download This workfile can be downloaded Excel to aide in reconciling the distributed payroll costs for a vendor to the invoice received by that vendor. This report can be especially helpful if you have multiple voluntary deductions or fringes assigned to the same payroll vendor. Once the report is selected using a billing analysis group number previously assigned in the Payroll Vendor Master file, use this icon to download it to your PC. If you need to this icon, call support. This is the billing analysis number assigned to Vendor 012. 108

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Deduction Workfile Download (cont) Pay Code These columns represent Vendor and Fringe/Deduction Type. Column F is Vendor 031, Fringe 4 109

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports/Detail of Gross by Pay Source This report lists the gross pay for each person in the payroll and whether the amount is coming from a job screen, a time card, or both. 110

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Create Direct Deposit File When this menu option is selected and a direct deposit file is generated, the user must download the file from the AS/400 to their PC. This download requires a data transfer icon called dirdeposit. If you need this icon, please contact customer support. Once you have double-clicked the icon, this window will appear: Note that the address of the file being downloaded is given in the File Name window. You will find the file on your C drive in a folder called PAYROLL. If you do not have a PAYROLL folder you will need to create one. To generate the download, click on the Transfer data from AS/400 button at the bottom of the window. 111

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Create Direct Deposit File (cont.) A successful download will be confirmed with a window showing the number of records. Click OK. The file can then be located on your C:\ drive in the PAYROLL folder. It will be called BANKFIL 112

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Create Direct Deposit File (cont.) The file can be opened in one of many programs. Here is an example in Notepad: 113

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Create PreNote File (Zero $) This option is very similar to the option which creates the Direct Deposit File. It is downloaded in exactly the same manner. The only difference being that the Direct Deposit File is generated once the payroll has been extended and balanced, while the PreNote can be sent at any time during the payroll process. Its purpose is the verification of the routing and account numbers that exist in the direct deposit deduction file of the employee master records. If an account or router number was mis-keyed or is no longer valid due to an employee closing their account, the PreNote process will bring such issues to light. This example of a PreNote file in Notepad demonstrates that no dollars are included in this file. In the file on the previous page, the third column holds the net pay and social security number of each employee. The example shown here shows only the SSN. No wage information is included in the PreNote file. This is where the wage information would appear if it were a bank file, and not a prenote. 114

Option 17- Print Monthly Reports / Errors and Warnings When this report is selected, any conditions that exist which would keep the payroll from calculating and posting to the budget properly (i.e. missing or invalid budget accounts, lack of a primary job, negative balance checks, etc.) will be listed so that they can be addressed. Running this report also tests to ensure that the payroll summary balances and that the total distributions equal the total payroll costs on the summary. A screen message may also indicate that a report listing invalid distribution accounts has been sent to the user s outq (example above). 115

Option 18 - Print Checks & Final Register ***** This procedure should not be run until payroll has been extended and monthly reports have been run and checked for accuracy. To print payroll checks and final register, select OPTION 18 from the PAYROLL MENU (). The operator will be prompted for the check date and beginning check number. If payroll is being rerun after checks have printed (due to errors found) it will be necessary to run this procedure WITHOUT actually printing the checks. This will allow the check numbers to be placed into the file so that the final register (also printed with this procedure) will show those check numbers in their proper place. The operator may respond to the PRINT CHECKS question on the prompt with an N to indicate that checks are not to be printed. The option is given for Laser or Tractor Feed Checks. The option also exists to print checks in Alphabetical order or in alpha order by Checksort order (if assigned in an Employee s Master File). The check register will print in check order number regardless of which print option is selected for the checks. It is possible to do a plain paper run of your payroll checks for use as file copies. In this run of checks, the label "FILE COPIES" appears at the top of each page. The file copies are in alpha order and the direct deposits are not separate from the regular checks. 116

Option 18 - Print Checks & Final Register (Cont.) To print checks and the final register, one must use Report Manager to select the printer used to cut checks. In Report Manager, laser checks will have a form type of PRLS and a file name of CHECKS1. If plain paper copies were selected the file name would read COPIES, while the form type is STD. 117

Option 18 - Print Checks & Final Register (cont.) The system operator will then be prompted to insert the necessary forms into the printer at the proper time. This is done by answering the MSGW (message wait) status with a 7. This will bring up the following screen: 118

Option 18 - Print Checks & Final Register (cont.) G for GO The user will reply here with a G to verify that the correct forms have been placed in the feed tray of the selected printer. NOTE: Once the checks (or other specialty forms such as W2s) have printed, you will receive another message asking you to verify that you have removed the specialty forms and have loaded standard paper into the printer. Here again, reply with a G. 119

Option 19 Post Payroll Costs This is the last step in the monthly payroll process and handles all of the bookkeeping necessary for the month. THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD BE RUN ONLY AFTER ALL REPORTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND CHECKS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN. The following screen will remind the user that they are at THE POINT OF NO RETURN for the current payroll. This prompt must be answered with a 0 to continue. If you wish to cancel the posting, press 0 and F7 to end the job. This procedure allows the operator to POST the results of payroll to the Budget, the General Ledger, the Payroll Vendor File, the employee s Payroll History, Payroll Cost History, Calendar and Fiscal Year to Date. In most cases, the posting procedure will halt if the amounts distributed do not equal the total cost for the payroll. For this reason the Before and After Budget Summaries are automatically sent to the print queue upon posting and should be checked to insure that the budget costs were distributed properly. Take this Before figure and subtract. 120

Option 19 Post Payroll Costs (cont.) this after figure. The remainder should equal.. This total payroll cost figure. This is the Payroll Balancing Summary. It s one of the many reports available in Option 17 - Monthly Reports. 121

Option 20 Create Supplemental Time Cards This option will generate either V time cards or T time cards in your active time card file. Timecards generated using either option will be included in your time card edit and can be changed or deleted. If any changes are made, be sure to re-extend before printing reports and checks. The V time cards will generate negative hours and earnings to be deducted from subject to SAIF and added into non-subject hours and earnings for Workers Comp. These entries come from vacation leave entered into the leave system. You must be using the Leave system and have vacation coded to be deducted in order to use this feature. The T time cards can be generated by pay cycle for positive or negative values expressed as hours, days or flat dollar amounts. If the days option is used, the number of days will be multiplied by the hours in a day (HID) on the job screen (in the selected pay cycle) to calculate hours and earnings. NOTE: This option does not allow the entry of a budget account number, so use of this option is limited to those employees having a job screen with a valid budget account number. 122

Option 21 Encumber Payroll To enable your district to encumber payroll, answer Y to this question in menu option 15 of the Payroll Variables File. When this option is selected to run a payroll encumbrance, the user can select pay cycles to reduce the encumbrance based upon the number of checks remaining in the contract year for that pay cycle. The salary encumbered for a budget account is calculated by totaling annual salaries for any active job screen assigned to that budget account number divided by the months to work entered for each job screen. This total is then multiplied by the number of remaining checks to encumber. In light of this, the MTW field of a job screen must be populated to be included in the encumbrance process. This is where you enter the number of checks remaining to encumber. 123

Option 22 Go to PAYROLL MENU #2 This option will take the user directly to the second Payroll Menu. 124

Option 23 Go to PAYROLL MENU #3 This option will take the user directly to the third Payroll menu. 125

FV6700 Option 24 Payroll Liabilities Menu 126

FV6700 Option 24 Leave System / Certification Menu The Leave and Certification Menu is used to define and process the various types of leave earned and taken. It is also used to enter/upload the Staff Data Collections required by ODE. 127

FV6700 Option 24/Selection 1- Access Leave Master Files The scan screen filter will, by default, pull up all Leave Transactions for all Leave Types beginning with the first day of the current fiscal year. The totals at the bottom of the screen will be.00 until a Leave Type or Transaction Type has been selected. This is the Leave Scan Screen. All leave detail transactions for a selected employee can be displayed here by leave type, date, and transaction code. Totals for beginning balance, earned, taken, and ending balance are displayed at the bottom of the screen. To display Leave Balances, use the filter in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Enter the Leave Type, Transaction Type and /or Transaction Date for which you want the balance shown and press enter. The (B)alance forward, (E)arned, (T)aken, or (A)ccrued.totals and the current Balance for that Leave Type will be updated. The leave detail that is displayed on the screen may be limited by using the filter in the upper right corner of the display. Key a leave type code into the type filter to display a single type of leave. Key a transaction code into (B/E/T/A) the filter to display a single type of transaction details. Enter a date in the Start Date field to display only leave details with dates after the selected date. Any combination of these three types of filter entries is valid. The user may select a record to maintain by keying the letter next to the desired record into the update selection field and pressing enter. If more than one page of transactions exist, use the page up/down keys to view additional leave details for the employee. Press the F10 key to add a leave detail record for an employee. 128

FV6700 Option 24/Selection 1/ CMD 10- Access Leave Master Files (cont.) New leave transactions can be entered here using the following: Leave Type This is a two digit code which must be set up in the Leave Description file (Leave Menu, Option 3). Leave Date Enter the date for this leave transaction in MMDDYY format. Transaction Type The valid transaction type entries are (B)alance forward, (E)arned, (T)aken, or (A)ccrued. Leave accrual records will be used during the leave accrual process to generate an earned leave transaction in the accrued amount. Click here to learn more information about Leave Accruals records. Hours Enter the amount of leave for this transaction expressed as hours. This is a 7 digit field with 2 decimals (i.e. 8 hours = 0000800). 129

FN6V00 Option 24/Selection 1/CMD 10- Access Leave Master Files (cont.) Sub-Hours This field can be used to enter hours worked by a substitute to cover the leave taken by a teacher. This field is not used in any calculation, but can be used in conjunction with the comment and User 1/User 2 fields to reconcile or validate the timecards submitted by the substitute employee. Comment This field can hold up to a 30 character description of the Leave Transaction. If the field is left blank, the Leave Type Description defaults. Maximum Balance This field is used to limit the amount of leave accrued during the leave accrual process if the current balance of leave plus the accrual amount would go over this limit.
