Purging of New Contract Data • After last pay can cause incorrect data and manual updates if payroll period begin/end dates for both last pay of old and first pay of new contracts are not adjusted • Affect depends on contract start/stop dates as well as period begin/end dates of last pay in contract and first payroll in new contract
Purging of New Contract Data • Incorrect purge timing can cause: • Days worked will be lost (Calculates begin/end dates during INICAL & JOB Calendar) • STRSAD doesn’t advance the right jobs • Mid year change calculations incorrect • Amount earned incorrect (Days work * Daily Rate) or (Hrs/day*Hrly Rate* days worked) • Accrued wages incorrect (Amt Earned – Amt Paid = Accrued Wage) • Pay off of accrued is incorrect amount • WAGOBL is incorrect
NEWCNT Purge Example Contract 47019.00 minus Amt Pd 45210.50 minus dock=0.0 (47019-45210.50 = 1808.50 owed to employee)
NEWCNT Purge Example • If neither option is used • Days from 8/23/2004 – 8/27/2004 are lost • Amount earned becomes incorrect • Accrued wages are incorrect • Days worked are incorrect
Mid-Year Changes • Can not be built in NEWCNT until last payroll to be paid at the old rate is complete • ‘Clear’ function should not be used • Effective at period begin date is ideal • Doesn’t currently work if zero days worked • Contract amount due on JOBSCN must be accurate • Days worked on JOBSCN must be accurate • Retro on a check by itself • NEWCNT does not support doing this • Manual intervention is required
Mid-Year Changes • Optional solution for mid pay period mid year contract changes • Pay one pay period beyond the effective date and retro pay • Change effective 3/8/2004 • Payroll dates 2/29 – 3/13 pay date 3/19 • Complete 3/19 payroll at old rates
Mid-Year Changes • Prior to 4/1 payroll • Process mid-year contract change with retro • Process 5 retro days, which would be 3/8 – 3/12 • 4/1 payroll would include new pay per period plus the 5 days with the retro amounts • No manual updates required
New Contract Caution Areas • Use of ‘Clear’ function • Should only be used for ‘new contract type’ • Employee new to district • Add contract directly in JOBSCN • Contract is not in NEWCNT, amount can’t be used in balancing • Contract start date • Used to calculate LPE/LPA amounts on the last pay of old contract • Should be first physical day of work on the new contract
