Job Info - HRS7700

Payroll > Utilities > Payroll Simulation > Job Info

The Payroll Simulation tabs are used to create simulated payrolls for individual employees or groups of employees. This feature can show new employees what their checks will be or to show existing employees the changes to their paychecks before the changes become effective.

The Job Info tab is used to retrieve job information for a current employee or create job information for a pending employee in the current year or next year payroll. The data allows you to create simulated payroll changes for proposed position changes or promotions. This data includes calendar data, contract information, accrual information, and specifics about the employee's salary. Before using this tab, ensure that each employee has a demographic record as created using the Demographic Information tab on the Staff Demographic page.

This tab consists of a grid at the top and a free-form area at the bottom.

Add payroll simulation job information:

❏ Under Parameters, select the employee to be retrieved.

Pay type 1 employees are generally those employees that are under contract such as superintendents, principals, teachers, etc. (exempt employees under FLSA) whose pay rate remains constant during the course of their contract.

Pay type 2 employees are generally paraprofessional, auxiliary, or clerical (nonexempt employees under FLSA) whose pay rate usually remains constant during the course of the year but are eligible for overtime.

Pay type 3 employees are hourly employees (nonexempt under FLSA) who are paid only when hours are earned, so their pay rate fluctuates every pay date.

Pay type 4 employees are substitutes that are paid at either an hourly or daily rate of pay and only when they work.

Note: If Use PMIS is selected on the District Administration > Options > Position Management page, the Pay Type field is required.
Pay GradeClick Drop-down Arrow to select the pay grade at which the employee is paid. The field is used to identify the correct salary amount on the salary table.

The field is disabled for all XTRA coded jobs and is calculated automatically for pay type 2 employees when you click Calculate. The field is used exclusively by a timekeeping system when the Merge Payroll Transactions Files is used and regular hours exist in the import file.

Note: For pay type 3 employees, the Hours field on the Midpoint Salary table must be populated. Data from the Hours field on the Midpoint table populates the Hrs/Day field on the Job Info page. The Hrs/Day field can be modified on the Job Info tab, if necessary.
Incr Pay StepSelect if the employee is eligible for an incremental pay step.

❏ Click Execute to start the recalculation process.

❏ Click Cancel to close the page without recalculating.

Notes:

  • The Calculate button only calculates the selected job. If the employee has multiple jobs, each job needs to be selected and calculated.
  • If Use PMIS is selected on the District Administration > Options > Position Management page, the Calculate button will be disabled.

Caution: When calculating a midpoint salary, if the LEA has selected the Amount option in the Distributions Built by Amt or % field of the HR Options table, the system requires that a distribution amount be greater than zero and is not saved until an amount is entered for a new employee or an employee with a salary change. Since the system is not saved with zero amounts the user has to enter an amount manually. When a manual amount is entered into the distribution amount and contract balance and the user clicks Calculate, the amounts are not changed or updated. Since midpoint has no steps, the assumption is that the employee remains at that salary level without regard to whether the employee is within minimum or maximum ranges.

When calculating a midpoint salary, if the LEA has selected the Percentage option in the Distributions Built by Amt or % field of the HR Options table, the program saves zero as an amount in distribution and contract balance allowing the percent to equal 100%. When saved without a distribution amount and a contract amount, and the user clicks Calculate, the system populates these fields automatically with amounts from the Midpoint salary table.

Midpoint calculation examples

Reg Hrs WorkedThis field is for employees with hourly jobs (i.e., pay type 3). When the pay type is 3, type the regular hours the employee works. When pay type is not 3, the field displays 0. If the field is completed and payroll is processed, standard gross pay is calculated based on these hours. If hours are entered in the Reg Hrs field in Hours/Pay Transmittals, the field is not used for calculation of pay.
OVTM EligSelect if the employee is eligible for overtime pay. If the field is selected, the OVTM Rate field becomes enabled, and the employee can be accessed in the Create Hours and/or Ovtm Hrs tab on the Hours/Pay Transmittals page.
OVTM RateType the rate at which the employee is paid for any hours worked in excess of the number of regular hours. The field is used as the default when the employee is selected in the Create Hours and/or Ovtm Hrs tab on the Hours/Pay Transmittals page and can be modified if necessary.
Hrly RateType the hourly rate of pay for pay type 2 employees only. The field is disabled for any other Pay Type.
Exempt StatusSelect if the employee is exempt from overtime pay. The field relates to whether or not the employee is considered eligible for overtime pay.
EEOCClick Drop-down Arrow to select the two-digit code indicating any applicable Equal Employment Opportunity Commission data.

❏ Under State Info:

State StepType the state step that the employee has earned based on years of service plus career ladder step(s), if applicable.
Yrs in Career LadderType the code identifying the current career ladder level for an employee. The field can be a single digit.
TRS YearSelect to indicate those employees whose contract year begins in July or August (nonstandard) and who receive a contract payment before the beginning of the school year. If TRS Year is selected, the payroll calculation program determines if a new school year record should be created when updating the TRS Deposit and Nbr Days Earned fields, and accrual amounts for those July and August employees.

Example: An employee accrues and has a 12-month contract with the first payment in July; therefore, the actual salary and benefit amounts update the current school year (2009), and the Nbr Days Earned, accrual salary, and benefits update the new school year (2010). When the 2010 school year begins, the amounts accrued are available for use during the 2010 school year.

Notes:

The beginning of the school year is determined by when the majority of the employees are paid, which is normally September.

Do not select TRS Year if the employee accrues and the contract begins during any month other than July and August. Otherwise, an incorrect school year is created, which affects the accrued salary and benefits. If the employee does not accrue, TRS Year does not have an adverse effect on the creation of a school year record.
TRS Member PosClick Drop-down Arrow to select a one-digit code indicating the employee's classification.
State Min SalaryType the annual state minimum salary applicable to the employee. The salary is computed by multiplying the foundation daily rate by the percent assigned times the number of days in the contract. The value is automatically computed when an employee record is selected, but may be overwritten.
Foundation Daily RateDisplays the rate from the State Minimum Salaries table.
% AssignedEnter up to 100% assigned.
# of DaysDisplays a value based on the following:

If the TRS Member Pos field is 01, the # of Days field is populated with the # of Days Empld.

If the TRS Member Pos field is 02 or 05 and the # of Days Empld field is greater than or equal to the # of Days in Contract field, the # of Days field is populated with the # of Days in Contract.

If the TRS Member Pos field is 02 or 05 and the # of Days Empld field is less than the # of Days in Contract field, the # of Days field is populated with the # of Days Empld.

If the TRS Member Pos field is 02 or 05, the # of Days in Contract field is 187, and the # of Days Empld field is changed to less than 187, the user is prompted to recalculate the state minimum salary. Click Yes to recalculate the state minimum salary, or click No to retain the original salary.

If the TRS Member Pos field is 03 or 04, the # of Days field is populated with zero.

❏ Under Calendar Info/Local Info:

Calendar CdType the calendar code, or click Ellipsis Icon to select the two-digit code identifying the calendar for the employee. The calendar indicates the dates of the employee’s workdays and holidays.

Years Job ExpType the number of years of job experience the employee has for the selected job. The field can be a maximum of two digits.
Local Contract DaysType the number of days an employee is required to work in the selected job in order to meet LEA contract requirements. The field can be a maximum of three digits, is user-defined, is not used in calculations, does not display on any reports other than User Created Reports, and can be updated using Mass Update in Utilities.

❏ Under Worker's Comp Info:

WC CodeClick Drop-down Arrow to select the type of workers' compensation for the employee. The WC code is used to calculate the workers' compensation premiums for all types of LEA employee records. The workers' compensation codes and descriptions are user-defined and can be changed to local preference. These codes are located in the Workers' Compensation Code table and must exist before a code can be selected from this field.

Note: If the workers’ compensation code is changed, the code is also changed for the distribution records associated to the job. If the distribution records are types B, T, or G with extra duty codes, the distribution WC code is only changed if the original workers’ compensation codes in the job record and the distribution records matched before the job record was changed.
