| CAPPS
Notes - April 21, 2004
I. Welcome -
Cliff shared the guidelines for evacuation of the building
and shelter-in-place in the event of an emergency. He also reminded everyone
that this was Lynda's last CAPPS meeting since she will be retiring on
May 1, 2004. PPSPS provided cake and all were invited to please help themselves.
Jody announced that anyone wishing to send an email to Lynda to be included
in her memory book should address it directly to her at Lynda.Wilson@usda.gov.
II. Misc - Jo
A. z/OS Operating
System - The LIVE tests will be held on May 15th and May 29th. Individuals
needing specific information should read Al's April 7th E-mail which
discuses the testing to occur in May. Individuals interested in participating
should contact Al. Jo stressed that this is NOT being performed on a
test database. Any changes made will apply to the system.
B. New Phone Exchange
- For those of you still dialing the old NFC numbers for your contacts
should be aware that the auto call forwarding terminates May 6th. At
that time, the old phone numbers will be shut off (i.e., the 255 number
will no longer roll to the new 426 exchange). As indicated earlier,
the key 255 numbers will remain in effect. However, if you need the
new number anyone, contact them soon.
C. 4th Quarter
Training - NFC issued an e-mail announcing the 4th quarter training
a few weeks ago. The STAR training was announced as STAR client. However,
there will be no more STAR client training. All future STAR training
will be for STAR web. EPIC/HCUP and TINQ are also scheduled in the 4th
quarter. Please check the website for specifics.
III. Benefits Updates -
Jody provided an update on the following benefit items:
A. TSP Updates
- TSP Open Season will run from April 15th thru June 30th. The TSP Open
Season flyers will be included in PP-07's E&LS and on the EPP.
1. Info from the March
TSP Quarterly meeting -
a. Discussed changes
in the loan process which includes effective this July 2004, only
one general purpose loan; a $50 fee pre loan; employees must wait
60 days after paying off a loan to apply for a new loan.
b. TSP can provide
on-line statements. They are also working on other website modifications
and are interested in ideas from agencies - work with your agency's
Benefits/TSP rep for this and submit comments to the Board.
c. TSP is considering
termination of the waiting periods for TSP participation. It probably
will not happen this year, but most likely next year. Capitol Hill
appears to be receptive to this change; more on this later this
year.
2. Elected Deferral
Limit - Jody reminded reps of the elected deferral limit for highly
paid TSP participants who are contributing at the maximum percentage.
These employees will reach the annual TSP maximum contribution amount
prior to PP-24. In order for these employees to receive the full benefit
of matching contributions throughout the year, they must modify their
withholding amount to spread the contribution amount over the remaining
pay periods. While this is the employee's responsibility to understand
this and make the changes, it is in the agency's best interest to
remind them to avoid upset/angry employees.
3. TSP Catch-up - Participants
must be age 50 year and older as well as participating at the highest
percentage rate. Because of the elected deferral limit, agencies must
be aware that we cannot edit against the maximum (highest percentage
rate). Again it is suggested that CAPPS Reps & Agency Benefit
Officers advise employee's of these rules.
B. SF-2809 - the revised SF-2809 requirements
were submitted to NFC in March, 2004. These are for the new permissible
event changes that OPM established late last summer (see OPM's BAL 03-207).
The changes will effect EPIC and all FEHB change events. The old A-K
values have been changed and expanded upon. OPM will not permit a copy
of the draft SF-2809 to be shared because they are still waiting on
OMB's official approval, which will hopefully be later this year.
C. Personal Benefits
Statements - Employees who are going to receive their Personnel
Benefits Statements should have done so by now. However, most agencies
have at least a few employees on the exception list, which Jody distributed
at the meeting. The exception list covers all employees who will not
receive a benefits statement because there database record contains
invalid values. Some of the errors are due to invalid 6C retirement
date values while others were in suspense due mainly to FEHB eligibility
code errors . The cut-off date for a revised statement is the end of
May. NOTE: Currently the benefits statement
simply indicates that Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI) is available to
employees; however, it doesn't indicate whether an individual is participating
in LTCI. Q: Jody asked if agencies are
interested in a notation that would indicate whether or not the employee
is participating in LTCI? This statement could not provide any additional
information since the payroll deduction for LTCI is the only information
NFC has on file. A: Yes. However, the
statement should simply indicate that the employee is participating
via payroll deduction since they can participate via other methods.
D. Flexible Spending
Accounts - Employees that are coded as ineligible for FEHB (FEHB
coverage code = "2") cannot participate in FSA's. In many
cases the employee's coverage eligibility changed upon a subsequent
appointment but the code has not been updated to "4" - eligible
pending. Please notify your users that it's imperative that they run
a report of employees with FEHB Coverage Code 2 (ineligible) and review
their data to determine if in fact that code should be changed.
IV. Employee Express Update
- George shared key items from the monthly EEX meeting.
A. A resolution was not
reached on the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. The biggest
user of the EEX IVR is Treasury and they do not want to drop it as an
option. The majority of the EEX clients wish to drop their support of
this, because they do not use it. However, Treasury does not want to
foot the bill for all of the modifications needed for the new IVR, so
it is back in discussions again. EEX will probably provide some level
of support on this.
B. Implementation of
an on-line PIN validation change was also discussed. EEX is interested
in utilizing the employee's retirement coverage code values as a security
mechanism. A problem with this option is that not all of the codes are
sent to EEX depending on the employee's coverage. The value for some
employees are being submitted as "N" and others sending nulls.
OPM has thus far refused to provide retirement coverage codes are all
relevant retirement systems (e.g.., commissary exchange systems, etc.).
George was not sure where this particular discussion would end up.
C. EEX is sending a security
agreement pertaining to sanitation of testing data. In the test forum,
it is very difficult to obtain a mix of employee's in the sample, yet
properly screen the output reports to prevent unauthorized individuals
to see another agency's data (i.e., names, SSN's, etc.). The payroll
providers should receive the agreements. EEX would like to have this
agreement signed and in place by May 14th. If an agreement cannot be
reached by this time, it may affect the fall release testing. This proposed
change in policy does not affect the transmission of data to/from EEX
because the data is encrypted for this process. The proposal only concerns
the data on the screens and reports during testing.
D. USDA is pulling out
of EEX effective October 1, 2004. Other agencies are also considering
dropping out of EEX because of costs and dual coverage with NFC's EPP/ESS.
V. PATCO Codes
- George indicated that he had received a query from one of the clients
regarding the new PATCO codes. He researched the issue and there are no
new codes. The rumor is that EEOC is considering changing codes for EEOC
reporting, however, this is unconfirmed. George asked that the clients
notify him if they hear anything additional on this. At this time, it
will not affect CPDF.
VI. NFC Updates -
Jerry Lohfink gave a status of the following:
A. Cost and Pricing
- November Briefing & January CAPPS - we discussed needing input
from the clients regarding cost and pricing. We used to have more visibility
in the old algorithm and want it back. NFC South is looking into this
(the old blue book) and Jerry asked that the word be passed to Finance
Folks, etc. A contact number was provided for replies. Based on feedback,
we have put a model together and will share it next week at the HR Briefing.
We are working on expanding the costs centers, specifically those relating
to costs that the agency has in determining the use of cost centers
(what services will be, elective choices, etc.). Additionally, we will
have four more cost centers in 2006; currently, we don't have all the
data ready but will have it in place by 2006...this will be a phased-in
approach over the next couple of fiscal years. Thanks for your attention
and support.
B. Request Tracking
- Penny indicated the PATS6B - changing to ACCESS, 6B has been taken
down for new ACCESS report. It's imperative that you remind everyone
that if they don't have access to the Reporting Center on their User
ID's, they must request this.
C. Status of Retro
(2003) - does anyone have a question? Q:
Doralee - with the 2003 retro we were informed that NFC didn't want
to make payments unless the action was on the DB. If we have a situation
where we can't enter the action on the DB, will NFC revise their policy?
A: We will look at this on a case by
case basis, talk to Mose.
D. Web FOCUS -
past 18 months I've had 4-5 clients that want this group together and
it was discussed in January - those interested in using this were to
contact NFC South and help us identify the benefits for the business
case. We heard from NO ONE! Lack of interest = shelving for the time
being.
E. Customer Service
Improvement Project - 1) feedback
discussed and will again be discussed at the HR Briefing - help desk,
best practice, bench marking, etc. This will involve additional customer
surveys and feedback as well as establishing and implementing of metrics
from industry standards and skill sets. 2)
in the process of recommending the GESD restructuring to improve the
customer service w/the clients. This information will be discussed next
week...must be approved by USDA (Dept level) - would like to make it
easier to allow clients to contact NFC South and have a follow up process
of replying back to you...escalating process to ensure that it is not
lost in the cracks....giving it supervisory/ managerial attention; 3)
announcing a new Customer Advocate. This person (office) will not deal
with inquiries but will be the first-line of defense, won't have ability
to direct inquiries or calculate a manual pay but rather a relationship
escalation process; if something goes awry, then you would deal w/this
person to resolve the issues.
1. Q:
You had asked us to sign-up to be part of a group who wanted to be
involved in customer service feedback...is that still open? A:
Yes, it's part of the restructuring of GESD...this group would work
with the CAPPS Reps to handle customer service issues; ideas on improvement;
reactions and planning results of bench marking; couple of dedicated
people focused on working with the CAPPS community.
2. Q: Doralee - you
had discussed a need for two groups - one in NFC and one of CAPPS
volunteers - to present the issues, discuss findings, etc.; how is
that coming along? TR did not respond - did you get any response?
A: No one responded but as part of
the restructuring of GESD we will work with agency reps to help us
out. FQ: Will this be discussed at
the HR Briefing next week? A: Yes.
3. Q: PATS6B
- if users had security to retrieve PATS6B report, is this the same
access for the new ACCESS database report? A:
If you have access to one, you have access
to the other.
VII. Status of 2004 Retroactive Pay Adjustment Processing
-
A. Glenda provided stats
of suspense errors from Pass 1 which included all of the documents,
there were 239 (the lowest) and 433 (the highest) for approximately
3,300 documents processed. Pass 2 brought in an average of 10-12% errors,
depending on the CV's we were able to get an automated fix for the majority
of the 088 errors. NFC did find that there were small isolated cases
on CV05 (7 employees) were issued locality erroneously - for pay plan EF.
Reports on CV06 & CV07 did not have this pay plan. Other small problems
were affecting 2-3 individuals per situation. They are working through
those items that they know are in error.
B. Peace Corp submitted
actions to be deleted and they still have not been deleted. The requests
were submitted last Tuesday and a follow-up on Monday morning. Glenda
will check with Josie on this. Q: Did
any one else have this type of problem? A:
FDIC had 10 cases from Saturday. DOC had 12, Pre-trial had 5, DOJ has
FQ's to address them. FQ: Were DEA's
gone? A: DEA's were done. The FQ's will
be done today.
C. Mike - during the
last conference call they discussed error 478 - retirement system data
invalid. Was this reviewed? How many individuals? FMS had over 100.
Cliff added that this information should be placed in as valid data
and not bogus to prevent any adverse affects.
D. Mike had submitted
several cases with error message 612 and those packages were deleted.
The new one is 616 and is an error and they cannot get around. What
is your request? Cliff - the case is the employee was given a temp promotion
then the temp promotion was made permanent without doing the CLG. He
recommended that the agency do this to clear this error. Technically
you should be able to process a permanent promotion w/o proc'g a CLG;
however, PMSO cannot handle this. Lynda indicated that the agency does
have to ensure the 612 is deleted, then they start the packages including
the 713 in the package.
E. TR - Reports are still
not being received. Is it possible to send them via a CD? NFC does not
want to send these via the mail and would prefer that they get them
electronically. There are several people in the room (FDIC, DHS, DOJ)
that have also indicated they are not getting their reports. NFC is
sending the data to these reports and are working with Ivan's staff
to work on technical issues. DOJ's reports will be zipped and sent to
you, they are going to the download center but you do not appear to
be getting them. MHS-ICE and Customs are saying they are also having
difficulty. The reports are typically sitting in SDSF waiting for an
address. As far as we know, the only outstanding printing issues are
due to incorrect printer numbers or technical difficulties.
F. Mike - if Lorraine
cannot get the reports to us, can we get a zipped e-mail? Glenda will
try to do this via printers.
G. Employees who crossed
bureaus within a department were not by-passed, were they? A:
No. FQ: we have an employee who switched
agencies within DOC. The package seems to have been generated to the
opposite agencies. FA: just one case.
Cliff said it may have to do with the authentication date.
H. FEC has a case where
new employees were not generated. A:
send them into the pay raise mailbox and they'll look into it.
I. GAO has an action
that they created in HCUP last night and they are getting the 088 message
this morning. Was the 088 fix a one-time shot? A:
Yes, a one-time shot. If an agency gets this message, they must
follow the instructions to get it corrected.
J. When is the next conference
call? Probably next week, prefer Monday or Tuesday. Glenda knows there
is an agenda spot for discussion of this at 1:00, would agencies like
a discussion on Friday to see what happened with the first pass of PAYE
for CV05 and CV06 @ 10-10:30 EST? A:
YES!!
VIII. Jerry expressed his thanks to Lynda for her many
years of service.
IX. Pay Raise Suspense Errors
- Cliff mentioned that PPSPS had been contacted regarding some of the
PINE edits.
A. The 088 suspense error's
have been fixed as indicated by Cliff's e-mail. The fix was implemented
on Monday night and the 088 messages should have cleared then.
B. The 541 error message
is on the SCD-TSP. This date cannot be prior to 01/01/1984 when TSP
was established and the edit is programmed accordingly. Some FERS employees
actually have records with SCD-TSP dates prior to 01/01/1984. If the
record is corrected, the documents in suspense should apply. We are
updating the SINQ Addendum to include a more in-depth explanation of
this error message.
C. Agencies have also
reported PINE edit "problems" where employees have separated
and are reappointed. These errors are the "208 - Cannot Process"
and "158 - Employee Separated - Cannot Proc Action". Both
errors appear to be systemic problems and Cliff is working with the
programmers. The resolution will not be completed before PAYE runs for
PP-07, but it should be completed shortly thereafter. Do NOT send these
cases down for deletion! Do NOT submit them to the PPO mail box as problems
either. We are aware of the issue, please just hold them for now.
X. 2004 Retroactive Pay Adjustments
for FWS Employees - Cliff discussed OPM's CPM 2004 -06 dated March
4, 2004. This CPM announced the legislative changes in the FWS areas and
announcing that some FWS would have more than one wage table due to the
various locality pay rates included in those areas. The end result is
that we have multiple wage schedules to accommodate the link to locality
pay for GS employees (e.g., Philadelphia Wage Area will now be subdivided
into 3 different wage schedules). The number of pending tables is building
up because we have additional wage schedules being issued every pay period.
Some employees in the affected wage areas will have to be moved to new
wage tables. Programmers are looking at how best to handle this implementation.
There is NO implementation date at this time - these are the same programmers
that are involved in the 2004 Retro Pay raise. Based upon volume of employees
affected, the GS schedules took priority over the FWS schedules. NFC is
considering a phased in type approach. The FWS areas that retain only
one schedule would be loaded first and the split schedules would come
next.
XI. Child Support - Steve
L gave a brief update from last months discussion on the 3rd party payments
via EFT. Treasury elected child support NFC is doing @ 11,000 child support
payments each month. NFC is working with FMS and the office of child support
at HHS to get a file of those we are initially editing. Sent to FMS and
they are working with states on a case reconciliation process against
the state's centralized offices which are called the State Disbursing
Units (SDUs). (States have centralized their counties and other jurisdictions
into one, state level office). Steve indicated that he had received approximately
30-40 particular reconciliations back from the states. However, he has
not been able to fully review the data yet. In last month's CAPPS meeting
Steve had proposed that the agencies be involved in changing some individual
records. However, after reviewing the file and looking at the information,
NFC will probably go ahead and change the case numbers to the State assigned
numbers.
In PP-11 all of the child support checks will be converted
to an EFT payment. Debbie Tatum's staff is working with TR's FS to facilitate
this process. Since the agencies processed those that they could, agency
staff need to be aware that there will be changes in the case number,
as well as, the name and address of the recipient will change to EFT (i.e.,
routing and checking account numbers). These changes will occur between
now and PP-11. Please do not make any changes to these records to modify
the case number or EFT information.
A. Q: George inquired
what should happen to any new cases? A: The
new cases should come from the SDU with the valid case numbers. NFC
is the last payroll office to do this conversion, so there should be
no new cases from non-SDU facilities and the agency should put them
in as they did in the past. There may be a few voluntary assignment
of wage agreements and those will continue to be handled as they were
in the past. (These may still be going to an individuals via a check.).
B. Q: George is NFC going
to distribute a master list of all the cases that have been changed
so that they can share it with the appropriate offices? It would need
to be broken done by agency and POI. A: Yes,
but agencies are not to do anything with it in the system..
The next step in the 3rd party automation
process is to convert to EFT the state and local tax levies that are currently
being issued as checks. This will most likely occur before the end of
the calendar year. At some point, agencies will probably see all 3rd party
payments centralized and mandated as EFT.
George indicated that the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) representative
was unable to attend today's meeting. However, they wished to make it
clear that they are willing to provide operational training to individual
agencies. If agencies wish to avail themselves to the training, they should
contact OCSE directly. OCSE has a road show and documentation that they
can provide to agencies. Karen Anthony is the contact and she may be reached
at 202-690-6275
or via email to Kanthony@acf.hhs.gov.
XII. User & Work Group Updates
A. Awards - Jo
informed the reps that the next meeting is scheduled for May 12th from
9:30-11:30 in Lincoln 3. Clients were reminded that if you do not participate,
you accept what decisions are made by those who do.
B. EPIC - Lynda
reminded users that the next release of EPIC v2.06, is scheduled for
PP-08, April 26. It is on the download center and if you need a CD,
please let her know. The new version becomes mandatory for use in PP-10.
Prior to this, users will receive a message as they log-on reminding
them of the cutoff date. Please make arrangements to get software thru
your labs, etc. and installed no later than PP-10.
1. Lynda
indicated that future EPIC issues should be sent to PPO@usda.gov.
The NFC Payroll Operations is making arrangements
to respond to this mailbox. She also indicated that NFC will
be issuing a vacancy announcement for her position shortly and they
are also considering contractual help to handle additional functions.
2. FESI - There
was no one in attendance to provide an update. Jo indicated that this
was an agenda item at the HR Briefing the week of April 27th.
C. Leave Share
- Jo indicated that there was no update this month. However, she also
indicated that she had spoken to the new supervisor in NFC unit to get
a status of the package. The package as reviewed by NFC staff will be
sent to Jo so that the LS Work Group can go over it.
D. PMSO - George
indicated that he had received no volunteers for this group. However,
he did receive a thick package from USDA based upon a PMSO review that
they had done earlier. Since there is no group to share it with, George
will review it and share key portions with the CAPPS group. It will
NOT be discussed at length in CAPPS - the package is too large for this.
If clients are interested in participating in this and other reviews,
please contact George. He reminded clients that PMSO is critical and
it is the first part of the HR process. He encouraged clients to participate
in discussions on what is "broken" and can be fixed or modified
for the benefit of all.
E. Work Group / User
Group Process - Jo briefly outlined this process. These groups are
basically sub-groups of CAPPS reps (or CAPPS rep designees) who work
together to develop requirements and provide info to NFC in those program
areas. NFC staff recognize that this can be a long drawn out process
and the clients are frequently as short-staffed as NFC. However, it
is critical that NFC obtain client input on these issues to ensure that
your needs are taken into consideration. Without your input we cannot
do it.
F. T&A - Jo
informed the reps that the next User Group meeting is scheduled for
May 13th from 9:30-11:30 in the Resource Room and that the next Requirements
meeting is scheduled for May 13th from 1-3 in the Resource Room. (First
pay day Thursday is the regular user group meeting.) Q:
Requirements for STAR Web is closed, right? A:
yes, there is a demo on the website; what's on 4.0 is a go...we will
go live in PP 15. Idea is not to negotiate this but to move forward....implementing
in phases, first phase is closed but we can discuss for the next phase.
Any changes made now will not be in 4.0. DK: when timekeepers come in
PP 15 all new screens will be there, right? A:
Yes....3.0 will go away and 4.0 will be up and running. FC:
are you willing to allow our timekeepers to join this pilot? No time
for training these folks....although we feel an overview is necessary;
our experience is to have an overview w/their timekeepers - concerned
about not participate in pilot and then enter in PP 15, they have no
choice, no longer a client version. A:
Jo says that you should contact your CSR b/c no move to restrict the
pilot participants. FA: Penny said you'll
have the same issue if you have those come in PP 13....pilot is a subset
of the community in STAR today....you do realize that you can't do both
for a few PP's and you are advancing the deadline. If DOJ begins now
to developing something they have more time...vs PP 13 to PP 15 from
pilot to production....Q: Doralee - have
we rec'd an email about the pilot? A:
Yes, but Jo will forward the message again to CAPPS. DOJ will call Johanna
about this after they rethink this. Penny says we can accommodate this.
Doralee told their clients in January that STAR will be going to daily
and a new transmission record will occur, right? A:
No the record layout will not change; what will be sent is a weekly
segment record...allow daily entry on T&A w/o passing to the transmit
record....that layout will not change at this point in time. Will PC
TARE be sunset? A: at the same time we
retire STAR Client - end of FY 05...will discuss at the HR Briefing.
XIII. Potpourri
A. Q: Peace Corp - We
have been having problems with our Spot awards. How is NFC handling
these. We have done several and they reflect in the system but are not
paid? A: Jo - What mechanism are you
using? The 840 V3G indicate to NFC that you merely wish to document
that the spot award has been issued and the agency will distribute the
money. If you use the PAY authority, NFC will generate the payment.
What is the error? F: We are using the PAY and the document applies
but it is not paying. FA: Please send
the SSN(s) to Jo at Jo.Bonner@usda.gov.
B. Q:
PTSA - We have just started using STARweb, and the accounting is not
validating against Tables. They have checked against the PQ screens
and TMGT screens that the accounting is correct but they do receive
error messages. A: Jo - Are there spaces
in your accounting string that you are not entering in STARweb? F:
No, we are doing them exactly the same and cannot figure out what is
going on. FQ: Deborah King from DOJ who
provides technical support for this agency requested that PTSA get with
her after the meeting. She believes this has something to do with PTSA's
conversion from DOJ.
C. Q: DOJ - Inquired
if Jo had found any additional information about the problems DOJ was
experiencing with employee who use military leave. A:
Jo - Is playing phone tag with a programmer to obtain more information.
Another agency has also reported this issue. C:
Jo also indicated that she does not have a resolution on the leave accrual
issue when a part-time employee donates annual leave. Jo asked if any
of the clients had an employee who had done this so that an additional
test case could be used. A: No one spoke
up. FQ: Treasury - What is the military
leave situation? FA: Employee's Military
Leave Used YTD field is reflecting 120 hours and the employee has not
used Military Leave this fiscal year. It appears that some agencies
are having the problem and others are not. Jo will continue to research.
D. Q:
Treasury - We are interested in implementing the transaction descriptors
on their T&A's, but some of their agencies are using non-NFC systems.
Where is this data stored in the transmit file? A:
Jo does not know. She has asked that question and will follow-up on
that inquiry. Based upon an earlier conversation with the programmer,
she did know that the it is stored one character here and the other
one somewhere else in the layout.
E. Q:
DOC - They had to enter the employee's base/total salary since NFC did
not automatically process their GM employees. They entered the adj salary
where the base is. Will this pay correct? A:
Cliff - No because this value edits against special rate table and it
will reject that rate. This only occurred this year because steps 8,
9, and 10 are at the maximum for the pay band. Employees at the step
10 received the locality. When you have multiple steps at the same salary
rate, it creates a problem with the programs. Cliff recommended that
all of their pay-band step 10's have 0's - next year. If your Step 9
goes to a higher locality rate, we have no way of identifying this in
the system. Best solution is to switch to GS and put the employees on
a step, in most cases this does not involve a large sum of money per
employee. GM's need to be moved to GS to clear this up permanently.
Otherwise, the problem will continue to exist.
F. Q: DOJ - transmit
file - sunseting of T&A applications is FY 05 (Sept 05) so
all agencies regardless of what software they are using, only going
to sunset those that we support., STARClient and PC TARE; if you are
using their own system and using transmit descriptors, where to put
them....
G. Q: SBA - why are some
of the GM salaries done and some are not irregardless of their PRD,
would a 790 affect this? A: Glenda asked
if they were GM's since PP 01. YES. How many affected? 16 - send those
SSN's into the pay raise mail box. Are they in suspense? FA:
no, on the TM098 report but what is deceiving is some applied and some
didn't. BEAR60 in January is not the User ID on these actions; that's
the original user ID on the first pay adjustment in January. PTO has
some of these issues as well. Cliff indicated some got proc'd some didn't
- go thru first report and send those SSN's to Pay raise mailbox. Glenda
will get the rationale behind this and share with others. GM's are not
paid on Tm098 and that maybe the issue.
H. Q: Mike - in
analyzing some of the HCUP packages to sinq, 2 actions w/same eff and
auth dates; is this a PERHIS problem in updating? I don't know if the
actions went down that way. A:
Jo indicated that the auth date can be the same if entered the following
day....Cliff says entering a 903 ZOO and the auth dates can be the same
and one date must be changed. Jo says it's a good time to bring up that
you should NOT be entering actions with the same eff/auth dates...Mike
says he can't go to the 2xx series in IRIS to see the auth dates....yes
