Re:       Title Codes with Invalid Steps

 

On May 20, 2005, some of you received the memo below along with a listing of
employees with invalid steps on PPS.  We requested that corrections be made
before May 30th, 2005.  I stated that "we have downgraded the severity level
of this message from 'employee reject' to 'warning' so changes can be made".
I also stated that "this temporary fix will be removed on May 30th, 2005."  

 

We have now been asked by UCOP Human Resources and Benefits not to remove
this temporary fix on May 30th as previously announced.  There is an issue
with the salary step edits causing message  08721 "STEP INVALID FOR THE
PERSONNEL PROGRAM CODE" to be issued inappropriately when the covered rates
for a title code are step-based and the uncovered rates are open range, or
vice versa, AND the representation code has not yet been derived for the
appointment (i.e. new appointments).

 

UCOP Human Resources and Benefits are researching this issue and will be
providing requirements for a permanent solution.  Although the severity of
the message is "Warning," users should take care to ensure that the step is
being entered accurately.

 

Thank you for assistance

Memo issued on May 20, 2005

 

The attached report was generated as a result of a Payroll/Personnel System
(PPS) program installation.  It's the list of employees' title codes with
invalid steps.  PPS will now require you to enter the correct salary step
for an employee. If an incorrect step is entered, an employee reject message
will be issued and you will be prevented from completing the entry/update
until the error is fixed.  We have downgraded the severity level of this
message from 'employee reject' to 'warning' so changes can be made.  This
temporary fix will be removed on May 30th, 2005.

 

The valid step values for staff employee titles are 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, etc.  The
valid step values for academic employees are 1, 2, 3, etc.

 

Please use screen 'EAPP' to fix these errors before May 24, 2005.    If you
have any questions, please contact the Payroll office at ext. 2-3307.   

 

Thank you for your assistance.
