Automatic Retroactive Processing

OSC will automatically calculate retroactive payments resulting from the above increases.

For eligible employees who have worked in more than one (1) agency and have been paid by all agencies using the same Employee Record Number since the effective date of the increases, all retroactive adjustments will be paid in the most current agency.

For eligible employees who have worked in more than one (1) agency and have been paid from more than one (1) Employee Record Number since the effective date of the increases, the retroactive adjustment for earnings in each Employee Record Number will be paid in the most current agency, on the appropriate pay cycle, under each Employee Record Number.

Retroactive Adjustments for Additional Pay and Time Entry Earnings

Time Entry earn codes that are calculated based on an employee’s additional salary factors such as overtime (OTA) and holiday (HPA) will be automatically adjusted.

Pre-Shift Briefing (PS6) paid in Time Entry will also be automatically adjusted due to the above increases.

PS2 adjustments must be submitted by the agency in Time Entry.

Agency Actions for Retroactive Processing

Retroactive adjustments will be automatically calculated for regular, Additional Pay, and certain miscellaneous earnings based on the salary increases.

Time Entry earnings submitted with an amount will not be retroactively adjusted. Therefore, the agency must report the adjustments when the following earn codes were used to report earnings on or after 3/27/03: PS2, RGO, OTO, LTO, PLO, SOO, OTT, ADJ, APB and ES2.

Additional Miscellaneous Information and Procedures Regarding Retroactive Processing

If a check was returned on an AC 230 for dates on or after 3/27/03, the agency must review the retroactive adjustment for that employee, as the payroll system does not always consider AC 230s when processing retroactive adjustments. Therefore, the agency may need to report an adjustment of earnings.
If an employee received earnings on an AC 39 (Typewritten Payroll) prepared by OSC for earnings on or after 3/27/03, the agency must submit an adjustment for all earnings paid on the typewritten payroll.
If RGS was previously submitted using a date range that exceeded the number of days reported, the payroll system will calculate the adjustment of earnings based on the number of workdays within the range. Therefore, the agency must report an adjustment to reduce the automatic retroactive adjustment.
Adjustments for earnings that are calculated automatically, such as overtime, will be calculated incorrectly if the dates previously reported as a single entry on the Time Entry page overlap the effective date of a salary increase. The payroll system will calculate an adjustment for all earnings reported in the single entry based on the salary in effect on the Earnings End Date. Therefore, the agency must submit the necessary adjustment to reduce the automatic payment.

Agency Actions for Reporting Adjustments in Time Entry

Agencies must use the Earn Code AJR (Adjust Raise) on the Time Entry page to report the retroactive changes due to the implementation of the salary increases.

Earnings Code:	AJR
Earns Begin Date:	First Date of adjustment
Earns End Date:	Last Date of adjustment
Amount:	Amount to be adjusted
Comments:	Enter explanation of adjustment

Note:
Upon notification from OSC, agencies with employees in the title of Plain Clothes Detective who are eligible for PCA must delete the MA2 payment and add the PCA payment in Time Entry.

Agency Actions - Department of Environmental Conservation

Supplemental Location pay must be submitted manually for eligible Department of Environmental Conservation employees. A list of eligible employees in the appropriate titles has been sent to the agency for review. The agency must submit the payment of SUP

Insert a new Additional Pay row with the Earnings Code SUP with an effective date equal to 3/27/03. Use the appropriate annual earnings amount above.
If the employee's status on 3/27/03 is not Active or Paid Leave of Absence and the employee becomes Active in BU 61 after 3/27/03 but before 3/25/04, insert a SUP row using the appropriate annual earnings amount above and the corresponding Job effective date.
If the employee went on Sick Leave at half pay between 3/27/03 and 3/25/04, insert a new effective dated SUP row to reflect the new calculation based on the half pay percentage.
If the employee’s status changes on Job to an ineligible bargaining unit or, Unpaid Leave, Terminated, Retired or Deceased, insert an end date in the SUP row to reflect the last date in the eligible position.
If an employee changes from an eligible county to another eligible county with a different SUP rate, insert a new effective dated SUP row to reflect the updated amount for the new county.
Repeat the above steps using effective dates of 3/25/04 through present using the appropriate annual earnings amount above.
