Re:       Title Codes (Staff) with Invalid Steps

------------------------------------------------------------------

A year ago, I informed you that the enforcement of the invalid step for
staff title codes have been suspended indefinitely until UCOP provides a
fix (see e-mail below).  The fix has now been provided by UCOP on
Payroll release 1704 which was installed on June 10, 2006.  You will be
required to enter/update the appropriate step for a staff title from now
going forward.  PPS will issue an employee reject message if you fail to
do so.  We have already fixed the existing invalid steps on PPS when the
program was installed.  Step values will no longer be edited for
academic appointments.   

 

Please contact the Payroll office at x2-3307 if you have any questions.

 

Thanks

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.
