PROCEDURES/INSTRUCTIONS
|
2.1
|
Pay action code (PAC) 18S (Entitlement stop) reported by departments that were
processed after November 3, 1996 did not stop the on going
entitlement.
|
|
NOTE: Entitlements excluded from this problem are: Leave With Income
Averaging (LIA) code (306), Pre-retirement Transition Leave (PRL) code (346)
and system generated stops for Pay Equity codes 144, 245 and
288.
|
2.2
|
To correct this problem, a program release will retrieve PAC 18S transactions
that processed after November 3 from the Transaction Data Base (TDB) and then
reprocess these transactions. A message will be produced advising the pay
office that an adjustment may be required due to the input effective
"from" date.
|
|
As a result of the reprocessing of the 18S transactions for entitlements, the
Pay Office will be responsible to calculate and recover, as a lump sum amount,
any overpayments. The overpayment will be calculated from the effective date of
the pay period in which the original PAC 18S transaction should have been
updated. If an overpayment is currently being collected from an account,
communication between the pay office and department will determine how the
additional overpayment, if applicable, will be collected.
|
|
The department will be responsible to adjust the retroactive period, which is
the period from the effective "from" date of the PAC 18S up to the
end date of the pay period prior to the input of the original PAC
18S.
|
|
The Pay Office will also be responsible for issuing a supplementary payment or
a refund of superannuation if the 18S transaction was submitted to stop an
on-going entitlement recovery PAC 18R or to stop a non-payable entitlement such
as additional earnings for superannuation, code (202). The supplementary
payment or superannuation refund will be calculated from the effective date of
the 18S transaction.
