E4.0  STAFF ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS AND RELATED PAYMENTS


The guidelines for the Universitywide Staff Achievement Award Program are announced each year by Campus Human Resources or UCOP HR/Benefits. The Universitywide Staff Achievement Award Program is funded by an assessment made to all payroll fund sources through the Personnel/Payroll System. The system charges departmental sub 6 accounts through the Distribution of Payroll Expense process a percentage of the salaries paid to eligible non-academic employees and credits a single liability account. The assessment appears on the PPP5302 (Distribution of Payroll Expense) reports in the IAP/Leave Accrual column and in the Benefits totals identified by object code.

To grant an award for Policy covered (nonrepresented) employees, the payroll preparer processes the payment using the EDFT screen and the DOS code of SRD. To grant an award for union (represented) employees, the payroll preparer uses the DOS code of IAP. The liability account provides an immediate offsetting credit to the payroll subaccount, which will be reflected on the PPP5302 by object code.

When processing Universitywide Staff Achievement Awards, enter the fiscal year for which the award and funds apply, e.g., "2012-2013 fiscal year" in the comments of the PAN.

Guidelines for Staff Local Employee Award programs are established by departments following review by Campus and Healthcare Human Resources. Departments provide the funding for these awards out of their own accounts as the awards are paid. To grant an award, the payroll preparer processes the payment using the EDFT screen and the DOS Code of LEA.

Awards paid to academic employees are paid on the EDFT screen using the DOS code of LAA.

In addition to processing the local award payments in the Payroll Time Reporting System, award data may need to be entered into the employee’s record by the department EDB preparer using the EAWD screen in the EDB Entry/Update System. (Refer to the EDB Manual, Section D11.0  for detailed instructions on Staff awards.) EDB preparers do not need to enter Staff Achievement Awards processed with the SRD and IAP DOS code on the EAWD screen because the system automatically records IAP payments in the EDB.

However, there are two circumstances in which IAP awards are not recorded in EDB automatically:

  1. Any adjustments made to an initial IAP payment, such as a reversal or change in amount, will not be recorded in the EDB automatically and will have to be entered on the EAWD screen by the EDB preparer; and
  2. If the department requests the award be paid by rush check and the EDFT transaction is bypassed by Payroll Services in order to issue a rush check, the IAP will not be recorded in the EDB automatically and will have to be entered on the EAWD screen by the EDB preparer.

The following is an example of an EDFT screen for a Universitywide Staff Achievement Award.

In the comments section of the PAN, enter information that is helpful to the departmental reviewer and Central Offices, such as who within the department authorized the award, and the fiscal year for which the award and funds apply, e.g., "Staff Achievement award approved by Assistant Vice Chancellor Abeles for the 2012-2013 fiscal year."

E4.1  Paying a Staff Achievement Award on the EDAP Screen

Advanced PTR users could also use the EDAP screen to pay a Staff Achievement award if they wish to retrieve an REG line from the EDB and then change the codes to those appropriate for a Staff Achievement award.  For example, retrieve distribution number 11 from the EDB for Anna Analyst.

The following information will need to be changed or entered in order to pay a Staff Achievement award to the employee:

  1. The Per End: (Period ending) date will need to be entered.
  2. The rate will need to be changed to the amount of the Staff Achievement award (in this case 1000.00).
  3. The AH code should be A.
  4. The DOS code will need to be changed to correspond to the type of award or other BYA payment (in this example, the correct code is SRD).
  5. The time should be left blank because an award SRD or IAP is a by agreement payment.
  6. The H% field should be blank.  In this example, the % was deleted by tabbing to the field and pressing the space bar.

Before pressing update (F9), the preparer should review all the fields on the screen to make sure they are correct.  In order to pay a by agreement payment correctly on the EDAP screen, the following fields should be reviewed very carefully:

  1. The Rate field:  For a by agreement payment the rate field should contain a rate with 2 decimal places to the right of the decimal point, such as the rate show above of 01000.00.
  2. The AH field:  This field must contain an A.
  3. The Time field: The time field must be blank or 0.
  4. The H% field :  This field must be blank.

Note:  The fields listed above must be completed as indicated or the payment will not be processed correctly.

Once the preparer has finished reviewing the transaction, the F9 key should be pressed to update the transaction.  Comments can be entered on the Comments Entry Screen.
