New Earnings Code - ‘RCN’ Retroactive Contract Pay Adjustment

Purpose

To explain automatic processing of retroactive adjustments for closed contract periods

Affected Employees

Employees with Pay Basis Code 21P who have adjustments for a closed contract period.

Effective Date

Immediately

Automatic Processing Information

When a change occurs (Salary Change, Part Time Percentage Change, Leaves, etc.) that affects the amount an employee should have been paid for a closed contract period, the adjustment will automatically be calculated and displayed by the system. The adjustment will show in the employee’s Time Entry record with the Earn Code "RCN".

The Earnings Begin Bate will be the Contract Begin Date and the Earnings End Date will be the Contract End Date. If the employee was in more than one department during the contract period being adjusted, the adjustment will show in the employee’s Time Entry record for the department the employee was in on the Contract End Date.

Example: Rows on Contract Pay Panel:

Closed Contract Period
Contract Begin	08/20/1998	Deptid: ZZZZZ
Contract End	06/09/1999	Deptid: XXXXX
Current Contract Period
Contract Begin	08/19/1999	Deptid: YYYYY
Contract End	06/07/2000	Deptid: YYYYY
An employee has a Pay Change submitted effective 04/01/1999. The adjustment due from 04/01/1999 through 06/09/1999 will automatically be calculated and paid with the Earn Code "RCN," using effective dates of 08/20/1998 through 06/09/1999 in Deptid XXXXX.

Payroll Register and Employee’s Check/Advice

The Earn Code RCN and the adjustment amount will be displayed on the payroll register and the employee’s check or direct deposit advice.
