Release 1634 is another modification of PPP520, but -not- for PostDocs
this time. Instead it addresses an occasional aberration in the way
benefits are charged. Here are some remarks from the release letter:
...occasionally, when vacation usage (DOS "VAC") is reported, an
inordinately high Health benefit is assigned to the PPP5302 VAC
distribution entry. This results in an excess amount being charged
to the Leave Reserve Account and credited back to the departmental FAU.
...when a normal pay (e.g., "REG") entry Gross amount was greater
than the total current Monthly Gross, then, if a VAC entry is subsequently
processed for this individual, the VAC entry was improperly assigned
the full Monthly Health benefit charge (rather than a portion of the
Monthly Benefit based on the relative amount of the VAC Gross and
the total current Monthly Gross).
The probability of this error occurring was exacerbated with the
implementation of the START program. It is most likely to occur when
an employee receives only one positive amount pay distribution in
the month along with one or more negative pay distributions followed
by VAC usage entries.
Program PPP520 has been modified so that the processing exceptions
for VAC entries will test the VAC separately for a Proration Percent
in excess of 100% and only then, limit the benefit assignment to the
full Monthly Benefit amount.
It amounts to only a few lines of code in PPP520 and there are
no table updates. May we have your ok to install?
