<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If you receive a bill as a result of the annual CPERS invoicing process, it’s likely due to incorrect PERS coding having been set up at the time of hire, which then caused the wrong rate to be charged through
payroll, and so on. My intent in providing this explanation is to help you understand the importance of ensuring employees are set up correctly upon hire, as well as the impact of errors.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The tool you have at your disposal to ensure the employee is set up correctly is the PERS status check. As I understand, this process is either done through HR or payroll, depending your agency’s internal
processes. Regardless of who completes the PERS status check, it is critical that the coding entered into Workday is accurate from the start.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The PERS Class Plan entered by the agency during the hiring process is reflected on the employee’s “Position” under “Additional Information”. This may look slightly different depending on your security role.
