Fiscal Year-End ClosingAfter all June pays are completedIf aware of dock amounts on 1st July payroll

22
Fiscal Year-End ClosingSTRS annual report processing
STRSAD Select option ‘1’
STRSAD selects all employees and jobs that were subject to STRS withholdingAll employees with any amount are listed on
the STRSAD.RPT- Service credit is calculated based on the STRS
decision tree
23
Fiscal Year-End ClosingIf district is STRS based on gross and
employees with STRS jobs that have:1) Work days equal days worked2) Amount remaining to pay greater than zero3) Pays greater than pays paidWill have an accrued contribution amount
calculated for them. This accrued amount will be the amount of earnings not yet paid times the employee’s STRS withholding rate.
24
Fiscal Year-End ClosingManual adjustments may need to be made to JOBSCN or
calendars for the correct jobs to advance. If the first days of school were not included on the first pay on a contract; then days worked will not equal work days when the last pay is initialized.
For example: new contracts for teachers were not purged until after the last pay on the old contract; first day of school was 8/29/07; the first pay on contract is 9/15/08 with a period start and end date of 9/1-9/15/08. In this situation, work days between 8/29/07 and 9/1/07 were not counted as days worked on this contract.
25
Fiscal Year-End ClosingRun RPTSUM to see the current count for all work days.
Determine how many days remain to be initialized before 6/30/08. If work days will not equal days worked, there are 2 options to rectify work day shortages:
Add the number of days to the calendar affected on non work days. In the example given above, 3 days were not initialized for this new contract. In this situation, add a W (work) on the calendars affected for 2 Saturdays and 1 Sunday in the last pay period.
Or, after the final pay where work days are initialized, modify JOBSCN days worked to equal work days and modify amount earned = contract amount. Keep the JOBSCN balanced. AMT PAID + AMT DUE + AMT DOCKED=AMT EARNED.
26
Fiscal Year-End ClosingAccrued contribution amount is calculated
using the pay per period from JOBSCN for the remaining pays minus 1, then last pay calculation occurs
27
Fiscal Year-End ClosingSTRSAD sample calculation
28
Fiscal Year-End ClosingSTRSAD.RPT
Service Credit is determined by STRS Decision tree.
Employment relationship = compares academic year dates entered in STRSAD to the hire date in BIOSCN record. It will take this date or July 1, whichever is later and calculate the work days from that date to the termination date in BIOSCN or June 30, whichever is earlier. Termination date in BIOSCN should be completed for
any staff that left mid year.See STRSAD.RPT report definition
29
Fiscal Year-End ClosingVerify service credit
Employees with 120 or more days receive 100% credit
Employees classified as part-time have service credit based on STRS decision tree Part-time flag on 450 must be set as needed If uncertain of an employee’s status contact STRS
Re-employed retirees will always have 0% credit reported with contributions Calculated service credit for rehired retiree will flag a
warning
