ZF65 (EE Payroll Expenditure Detail Report)                                                Issued 1/20/2011

A new report option 'Add For-Period and In-Period' has been added to the ZF65 report.  When this option is selected, the report output will include 2 new columns.  The columns are For-period and In-period.  For-period column displays the period for which there was an adjustment. 

For example, EE xx has a prior period adjustment removing 8.0 hours from RIG1 for pay period 23.2010.  In pay period 24.2010, 14.0 hours is charged to RIG1 on the time file.  The employee makes $17.44 per hour.

  • When ZF65 is run for pay period 24.2010 without the new report option, the data returned is one line of entry for RIG1 in the amount of $104.64.  (8.0 hours * 17.44 = $139.52 and 14.0 hours * 17.44 = $244.16) ($244.16 less $139.52 = $104.64)
  • When ZF65 is run for pay period 24.2010 with the new report option selected, the data returned will be two lines of entry for RIG1.  One line will be for payroll 24.2010 in payroll 24.2010 for the 14.0 hours that need to be charged for pay period 24.2010.  This amount will be $244.16 debit.  The other line will be for payroll 23.2010 in payroll 23.2010 for the 8.0 hours that need to be credited for pay period 23.2010.  This amount will be $139.52 credit.

Please note that processing time will be longer when the new report option is utilized.


DON'T FORGET, if working with quota buckets for the new year...            Issued 12/30/2010

The system can't correct a quota record until the record exists for that payroll year, hence the error message "NO TYPE 20 QUOTA RECORD EXISTS".  Quota records for 2011 won't be created by the system until Sunday, January 9th. 

If you need to manually create a quota record for a separated employee, create an IT2006 (type 20 and 22) effective the first day of pay period 1 (12/27/10) through the last day worked.  No amount is necessary in the Quota Number field.  Validate and save, then proceed with the Maintain Quota Entitlement for Regular Leave Earners procedure.

Health Savings Account                                                                                Issued 6/9/2010

 

A new benefit plan has been created for the Health Savings Account that is effective 07/01/10.  The enrollments to this plan will be interfaced by OGB to infotype 0377, Miscellaneous Plans.  OGB will interface an employee pay period amount that will be withheld over 24 pay periods.   No deductions will be withheld in the “free” periods.  The employer/agency is responsible for the first $100 which will be interfaced by OGB to infotype 15 wage type 6990.   The agency will match the employee’s contribution up to an additional $400.00 for a $500.00 per plan year total employer contribution. 

 

The employee wage type 4990 is not retro relevant and will not go into arrears.  In the event an employee does not have enough pay to cover the deduction, the system will take what it can and forget the remainder.  Refunds to EE or ER share can be interfaced by OGB to infotype 0015. 

 

ZP68 (Dependent Care/Health Care/Deferred Comp Balances Monitor Report) and ZP151 (OGB Interface Log) have been updated to include reporting for the Health Savings Account. 


ZP207 - Wage Type / Basic Pay Audit Report                                                 Issued 3/23/10
 
ZP207 is a new transaction that will enable agencies to generate and analyze any number of Basic Pay information fields. All current and previous wage types on the selected Infotype 0008 are output on this report, including informational wage types. This report, similar to the ZP52 Basic Pay Audit Report, tracks percentage salary change from previous wage type amount.
 
Because of the large number of optional fields available to the user for inclusion in the report data output, a number of studies can be generated from this one report by any number of users who can customize it, incorporating their own combination preferences by way of creating display variants. Depending on the date selection or selection criteria, this report may need to be run in the background.  For more information please see the
 ZP207 - Wage Type/Basic Pay Audit Report.

ZP174 - Employee Qualifications Report                                                          Issued 1/25/10
 
This report displays completed courses.  Employees, after completing training, will receive qualifications imparted by ISIS HR’s Leaning Solution, manually created by an agency, or converted from a prior statewide training database. Review the report descriptor ZP174 - Employee Qualification Report for selection criteria hints.

This report is also useful to verify when an employee has completed an ORM training course such as Defensive Driving or Bloodborne Pathogens. These qualifications will show both a start date and the expires on date. See Using ISIS HR Reports to View ORM Course Information.

The ZP174 is available to Managers with the My Staff tab and Supervisors with the My Employees
 tab.  The My Staff Quick Reference Card and My Employees Quick Reference Card provides more information.


Duplicate W-2's                                                                                                Issued 1/20/10
 
Effective February 1, 2010, ISIS paid employees will be able to view and/print duplicate W-2's for themselves in LEO for years 2005 -2009. To access this functionality the employee, once in LEO, will click on My Info > Payment Info > Duplicate W-2. Online help in the form of this Quick Reference card is available with instructions My Info - Address & Phone, Bank, Tax & Duplicate W2 Quick Reference Card.

Please note, if an employee has a pending or issued W-2C for any of the available years, they will be unable to request a duplicate through LEO.  When attempting to view the W-2, they will receive the message, "Contact your Human Resources Office to request a duplicate W-2".  Employee Administrators should follow current procedures when requesting a duplicate for the employee from the Office of State Uniform Payroll.  Refer to OSUP memo # 2010-32 for more information.

Each year on February 1st, duplicate W-2's will be available for the previous year.


Viewing Info on Off-cycle Workbench on Days the Workbench is Closed         Issued 1/8/10

 

With off-cycle workbench being closed Monday & Tuesday of payroll week and Thursday & Friday of non-payroll week, agencies can view information that is normally found on the off-cycle workbench on ZP64.  ZP64 provides a better option since the workbench only displays the amount (amount paid/559).  ZP64 will allow the agency to see gross (/101) or any other wage types they are interested in and it contains pay date, cycle type (regular or correction), any deductions (health, life, misc. insurances), tax information, etc.

 

To use ZP64 to get information currently viewed through the off-cycle workbench, load variant “off-cycle” and enter the personnel number.  Versions of this variant that include other wage types can be saved to provide additional information.

 

For help using this report, refer to the online report descriptor for ZP64 – Employee Wage Type Results.


The ZP169 report - Payroll Locks has been enhanced                                       Issued 1/7/10

How to Research Deduction Differences between OGB Invoices and ISIS    Issued 12/13/07
 
There is a wage type group available on ZP64 (Employee Wage Type Results Report) to help agencies reconcile OGB invoices/monitoring reports. OGBI can be selected from the Wage Type Group field list to limit the wage types reported to those wage types affected by changes to OGB related products. This will aid in determining why a deduction/refund occurred for an employee.

The document, 
Determining a Difference Noted on the OGB Invoice, outlines the research method used by the Help Desk. Agencies are encouraged to begin using this document and provide feedback where clarification is necessary.
