Note: Agencies must not begin this data entry until after December 14, 2007 for Institution agencies and December 21, 2007 for Administration agencies.
Agency Processing Instructions to Change Existing Deductions or Report New Deductions
When making changes, the transactions should be entered during the processing of the pay period that the deduction will take effect. Agencies must not insert future-dated transactions for these deduction codes.
To change the Goal Amount, the agency must insert a new effective-dated row. All information will roll up on the newly inserted row. The agency must override the Goal Amount.
To change the Deduction Amount/Percent, the agency must insert a new effective-dated row and override the Deduction Amount/Percent.
To cancel the deduction, the agency must insert a new effective-dated row and populate the effective date and end date fields with the first day of the pay period.
Agencies should not under any circumstances enter or change the Goal Balance Amount.
