Field Definition

The New Contract Type field offers the following options:

• Mid-Contract with no retro
• Mid-Contract with retro spread over remaining pays
• Mid-Contract with lump sum retro
• New Contract

Compensation

A compensation is linked to a job calendar through the Job Calendar type field. The calendar type is defined in the CORE/Job Calendars program. 

The Raise Date field is used only for Mid-Year contract changes with retro (spread or lump sum). Enter the date the raise should have taken affect and the number of days (Days Since Raise) is calculated for you. Leave this field blank for a New Contract type.

The Type field is non-modifiable and displays the type of Compensation.

• • Contract 
  • Non Contract
  • Legacy

The Description is the title of the Position.

The Label field is used if a position has more than one compensation, a Label can be used to differentiate between them.

The Compensation Start Date is the start date of the current contract.  This date is a required field and is usually the first day for which the job is paid.  The contract work days are figured by using the Compensation Start and Stop dates and the Job Calendar selected.

The Compensation Stop Date is the stop date of the current contract.  This date is a required field.  The contract work days are figured by using the Compensation Start and Stop dates and the Job Calendar selected. 

The frequency by which the job is to be paid is referred to as the Pay Plan.  This is a required field. There are 3 possible pay plans:

• Biweekly
• Semi-monthly
• Monthly

Option for the Pay Unit field are:

• Hourly
• Daily

The Unit Amount field is the daily or hourly rate of the contract.  The unit amount, pay per period, and contract work days will be calculated when you copy new contracts. When you edit the new contract, there will be a calculate button. If you change a field that is used in the calculation of unit amount or pay per period, then these fields will update when you click calculate. If you manually enter a value into these fields, you be able to save the values you entered by clicking on only. If you click the calculate button, then your manually entered values will be replaced with the calculated values.

This field will be calculated based on the Contract values:

• The daily rate is calculated as follows:
  • CONTRACT AMOUNT / NUMBER OF DAYS IN CONTRACT = DAILY RATE
    • The hourly rate is calculated as follows:
  • CONTRACT AMOUNT / (NUMBER OF DAYS IN CONTRACT * HOURS PER DAY) = HOURLY RATE
    • In cases where there is not contract (i.e. substitutes), the amount can be manually entered.

The Retirement Hours field contains the hours the employee is to receive per day for SERS retirement purposes. The retire hours is used to automatically calculate an employees Regular pay type hours during the Payroll Processing and Payroll Payment Future and Current. This field is NOT a required field. If there is no value in the "Retire hours" field, Payroll Processing and Payroll Payments will use the value in Hours per day. If there is no value in either field, Payroll Processing and Payroll Payments will use 0.00 as the retirement hours value.

The STRS Advance field indicates whether the job is in the advanced mode.

The Supplemental Tax Option field is used to identify the taxing option to be used when paying a supplemental job.

• Three options are available:
  • None - Payment taxed as part of regular wages (uses regular tax rates)
  • Apply Annuities to Regular - all amounts paid on this job will be taxed at the federal withholding rate for supplemental payments. When choosing this option, all annuity amounts for the employee are applied to the regular wages. No annuity amounts are applied to the wages that will be taxed at the federal supplemental withholding rate.
  • Apply Annuities to Supplemental -  all amounts paid on this job will be taxed at the federal withholding rate for supplemental payments. When choosing this option, all annuity amounts for the employee are applied to the wages being taxed at the supplemental withholding rate. No annuity amounts are applied to the regular wages.
• The taxing option selected will appear in Payroll payments, Current and Future and can be modified if necessary.  If neither of these options apply to this job, the field should be left blank.

**For instance** if you choose "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" it will apply the applicable annuities to the supplemental wages first (assuming the employee also has regular wages on the same payroll). If there are then annuities "left over" after applying them to the supplemental wage amount, the remaining amounts will be applied to the regular wages. The opposite is true when the option to apply the annuities to regular wages is selected. 

The Contract Days Worked field is the number of days the employee has worked on this job. Leave this field blank for a New Contract type.

The Contract Work days are the number of days the employee is contracted to work this job. This is a non-modifiable field. Days calculated using Job Calendar and Compensation Start and Stop Dates.

Compensation Amounts

The Accrued Wages is the amount the employee has earned on this contract, but has not yet been paid. This field stores the accrued wages. It is important that this field is correct for mid-year contract changes and using the POF (pay off of accrued) in Payroll Payments. Only those employees who are on stretch pay will have amounts in the Accrued Wages field. This field is non-modifiable. 

The Amount Earned is the contract amount earned by the employee. The calculation is as follows:

• AMOUNT PAID + ACCRUED WAGES + AMOUNT DOCKED = AMOUNT EARNED 

This amount is updated with each payroll that the job is processed.

The Amount Paid which has been paid to the employee through the payroll system. It does not include accrued wages.

The Amount Docked field contains a running total of wages which are docked on the job.

Contract

The Pay Per Period field is used for equal pay employees. It contains the pay amount the employee should receive on this job for each payroll.  The unit amount, pay per period, and contract work days will be calculated when you copy new contracts. When you edit the new contract, there will be a calculate button. If you change a field that is used in the calculation of unit amount or pay per period, then these fields will update when you click calculate. If you manually enter a value into these fields, you will be able to just save the values you entered by clicking only. If you click the calculate button, then your manually entered values will be replaced with the calculated values. 

The pay per period is calculated as follows:

 CONTRACT OBLIGATION - AMOUNT PAID - AMOUNT DOCKED / NUMBER OF PAYS REMAINING IN CONTRACT = PAY PER PERIOD

The Contract Amount indicates where the compensation is placed on the salary schedule. This amount is for informational purposes. Amount and Obligation will differ when a change in the obligation is made for the current contract through New Contract. In that case, the contract amount will be the full contract amount.

The Contract Obligation is the amount the board is obligated to pay the employee for the current contract.

The Contract Type field is a user defined field.

The Pays In Contract refers to the number of pays the job is contracted for.

Pays Paid is the number of pays that have been paid on the contract. This field is updated after each payroll in which the job is included. This field is non-modifiable. 

The Retro Next Pay field can be used in two ways. One, if a retro situation is created in New Contract, the retro amount can be placed in this field by the New Contract program. Two, a retro amount can be manually entered. In either case the system will process the retro amount during the next payroll in which the job is included.

The Stretch Pay option indicates whether payments should be stretched over the number of pays or not.  Check if payments are to be stretched over the number of pays in the contract.

Historical Context

Calendar Start Date is the day on which the system will start counting information from the calendar. This day is automatically entered as the period beginning date of the first payroll in which the job is processed.

Calendar Stop Date is the ending date that the system should use when calculating ODJFS weeks, EMIS days, and service credit. Once the Compensation is Saved, the Calendar Stop Date will be entered automatically.  Leave blank until employee is no longer working at district.

Salary Schedule

Salary Schedule Column refers to which column the employee is in on the salary schedule.

Salary Schedule ID is the schedule type for the salary schedule the employee is associated with.  The ID can be between 1 and 6 characters in length.

Salary Schedule Step is the salary schedule step that the employee is on.

Local Contract Code (non-modifiable) EMIS Contracted Service (CC). Used for EMIS reporting. Automatically will populate when the Data collection is done.

Payroll Accounts

Click on Add Payroll Accounts, to add a new account for the employee

Select the Expenditure Account by clicking on the  or by entering in a portion of the account to narrow your search for Example: 001:

The Rate Type refers to the method by which this account is to be charged:

• Percent - indicates a percentage of gross to be charged to this account.
• Fixed - indicates a fixed dollar amount to be charged to the account:
  • Restrictions on the use of the Fixed Option are as follows:

1. • • The purpose of the Fixed Option is to accommodate special funding where a set amount is to be charged to a particular account for a job.
     • Pay accounts for each job must total 100 percent. Therefore if a fixed rate is used, there must be at least one percentage rate record on file for the job totaling 100 percent. Failure to have a percentage rate record or records totaling 100 percent will result in the job not being included in the payroll. Users will receive a warning message in this case.
     • Active fixed rate accounts for a job will be charged first. Once the fixed amount is charged, the active percentage rate account or accounts are then charged based on the percentages assigned.
     • Benefits (sick, vacation, jury duty etc.) will not be charged to a fixed amount account.

The Status allows the user to set the status of the account.  Options are:

• A - Active
• I - Inactive
• S - Specific Miscellaneous
• M - Maximum amount in effect. (Used with fixed rate option only.)

Note: To determine whether an account is active or not the system will check both the Account Status field AND the Pay Start and Stop Dates. A pay account with an inactive status but with an active start date will NOT be charged.  A Pay Account with an active status with Start and Stop dates but the pay is outside these dates will NOT be charged.

Leave Projection determines whether or not an account can be used by Leave Projection to charge out the leave entered in CORE/ATTENDANCE:

• Check if account should be used for Leave Projection?
• Leave blank if account should not be used for Leave Projection?
  

The Employer Distribution determines whether this is a Board Pay Account:

• Check if account should be used for Board Distribution?
• Leave blank if account should not be used for Board Distribution?

The Charge Amount or Percent is the percentage or fixed amount that is to be charged to this account. Whether a percentage or fixed amount is entered is dependent on what is entered in the Percent or fixed field.

The Maximum to charge field contains a maximum dollar amount to be charged to a specific pay account.  **Note** If adding a Fixed amount and Maximum amount to charge, this will add Stop Date's to ALL the Old accounts for the employee**

• The maximum amount is set up as a declining balance method. This method reduces the maximum to charge field each payroll by the amount set up in the Amount to Charge field until the maximum amount is totally depleted. The system then begins to use the percentage rate accounts. This field operates only when using the fixed rate option and when the Account Status is set to `M' - Maximum amount in effect. When the status is set to 'M' and the maximum to withhold equals zero, the account is inactive.

• Unit Amount
• Amount Paid
• Amount Docked
• Amount Earned
• Accrued Wages
• Contract Days Worked
• Contract Work Days
• Retro Next Pay

The total number of compensations added will be displayed in the processing window and a list of the employees selected upon program completion.

• Active
• Inactive
• Active and Inactive

To include Concealed Employees, check 

Enter a date to only Include Active Compensations  in the Selected Compensation grid.  This will eliminate of including both old and new compensations for an employee.  The included compensations, active as of date, looks for compensations with a start date that is either empty, or before or equal the date entered AND a stop date that is either empty, or after or equal the date entered. If the compensation meets these criteria, then it is displayed in the grid. The grid updates when the date is changed.

Select Pay Groups options using the  to select Available Pay Groups to Selected Pay Groups.

Enter in the Contract Start date (Compensation Start Date)  and Contract Stop Date (Compensation Stop Date). The Contract (Compensation) Start Date is usually the first day for which the job is paid. These are a required fields used in the contract amount calculations.

Click on  to activate all contract information into the Compensation records, then deletes it from New Contract maintenance file.

Import New Contracts

In order for the Import option to properly build new contract records, the data columns must contain a heading in Row One. The heading allows the Import program to determine what the data in that column represents. These headings must match what is defined below in order for the Import program to recognize and load the data.

There are four required fields: employeeId, jobNo, contractType and newCompensation.label- is only required if the employee has more then one Compensation for a Position.  The remainder of the data is optional and will be dependent upon the contract type being imported. For example, if importing a mid-year contract change with retro-spread, the days since raise should also be included in the import file. Information not specified in the fields for the spreadsheet will be pulled in from the existing Compensation.

Creating New Contract Compensations from Compensations

To create a template spreadsheet using the Compensations fields, which can assist in creating new contracts,  you can import this json file into Reports  -  New Contract Compensation Worksheet.rpd-json  (can specify start date specific pay groups) With some manipulation to the spreadsheet this will then allow you to create new contracts using the Import option in Processing/ New Contracts.

After the spreadsheet has been created you can sort to obtain specific  Pay Groups and remove all others if desired, or can also sort the entire spreadsheet on Compensation Start and Compensation Stop Dates and then remove any records that will not require a new contract for the upcoming year. 

New Contract Import Template XML

Example-

New Contract Compensation Worksheet (To see excel file format right click on the report name  (New Contract Compensation Worksheet) and select Open Link in New Tab)

**NOTE**  If users do not enter anything in the position fields in New Contract Maintenance or Import, it will use the value in Position Grid for Employee/Position.  If user enters values in Position fields, then it will update the position fields from New Contract to Position Grid when the contract is activated.

Example of an Import.csv:

Creating New Non Contract Compensations

To create new non contract compensation record the Reports/Report Manager/Non Compensation Mass Load Extract can be processed to create an excel file with the appropriate headers. The file then can then be updated-removing unwanted records, updating unit amount, start/stop date, etc. Once the file has been updated it will need to be saved in csv format. This will then allow the file to be loaded  directly to Compensation. using Utilities/Mass Load/Compensation

There is an available Non Compensation Mass Load Worksheet available that contains the Pay Group and excludes archived employees.

Choose the Contract Type from the drop down

Enter the Mid Year Contract change Contract Start Date.--The Contract Start Date will be the day after the last period ending date between old and new compensations, not the original start date of the contract. Example- the last pay processing range was from 8/1/18 - 8/15/18. The New Contract Start Date on the Mid Year contract would be 8/16/18. 

The Contract Stop date should reflect the original Contract Stop Date from the initial contract.

The Raise Date must be specified - this in conjunction with start date tells us how many days were paid at the "wrong/old" rate for calculations. This date is when the employee should have actually started receiving the mid year contract pay.

Add the mid year contract change amount in the Contract Amount field.- This is the full "new" amount of the contract (contract obligation and retro amount will be calculated by the system.)

Delete out the Work Days. These will be recalculated based on the new Start Date and Stop Date that is on the record.

The pays paid for the mid year contract change will be zero and pays in contract will be how many pays are left to be paid. This field no longer appears on the Mid-Contract with lump sum retro page.
