Purging Of New Contract Data • When to purge for new contract • Timing is everything • If the pay period for the last payroll on the old contract also contains the first work day on the new contract • Purging new contracts before the last pay of old contract is initialized is ideal • Purging after the last pay can cause incorrect data in JOBSCN and require manual updates
NEWCNT Functions Clarified • Using the ‘Clear’ function • Should be used only for ‘new contract type’ • Adding an employee new to district • Use JOBSCN rather than NEWCNT • Contract start date • Used to calculate LPE/LPA amounts correctly • Should be first physical day of work on new contract
