<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 attached OSPS e-news from the Workday Admin team addresses issues with PERS calculations that have been occurring in Workday since May 2024. These issues have resulted in an increased number of PERS contribution
errors and as a result, an increased number of PERS adjustment requests coming from CPERS.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As outlined in the OSPS e-news there is a manual work around in place that requires agency payroll partners to verify the PERS calculations for the impacted populations and make pay input entries to correct
the PERS deductions. Please be sure to review that PERS deductions are accurate prior to issuing final pay. Utilizing this workaround will prevent the need for retroactive PERS adjustments.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please be aware that to prevent increases to CPERS annual invoices for 2024, this workaround will need to be utilized and PERS adjustments need to be completed before year end.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Workday Change Advisory Board (CAB) approved item 196 – Update PERS Codes to Calculate When an Employee is on an Extended Leave of Absence. This item was tested and approved for implementation in the May 2024 release with a known issue
around the timing of a termination and the resulting PERS calculation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In August, Release item 614 was implemented to resolve the timing of termination and PERS calculations that was identified in May 2024.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We then learned that there were some additional PERS calculation issues around Transfers and Seasonals. Seasonals and Transfers are new release items that are in progress and targeted for Nov. Release.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please see the attached timeline to help clarify which pay periods are impacted by these PERS calculation errors.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Please take the following steps with Seasonal and Transfers for corrections to PERS calculations.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Look at “<b>PERS EE Paid” </b>

</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the corrections to seasonals and transfers, you will also want to review terminations from May – July 2024 for any potential corrections to PERS calculations.
