________________________________

UPDATE 5/8/2025:

DAS processed a full data file and loan deductions provided by OSGP. Unfortunately, it included some contributions for employees who were no longer making contributions. We are working with OSGP on these discrepancies and providing additional data to help in their reconciliation efforts.  VOYA is the system of record and if you do have employes with deductions that were done in error, please make sure they are logging into VOYA to make updates to reflect the correct elections.

If you have any employee that has notified you of an inaccurate OSGP deduction for April (paid May 1, 2025), please reach out to OSGP and include their approval for a refund when creating a case and we will work with you to make corrections to pay as quickly as possible.

If you are unsure of the enrollment information for the employee, please contact OSGP customer service. OSGP Participants can contact OSGP/Voya Financial Representative at 800-365-8494 for assistance.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

DAS Workday Oregon Program

UPDATE 4/23/2025:


DAS completed a full data sync of OSGP elections, based on all employee elections as of the end of March 2025. ​Any differences have now been made in Workday to match OSGP data. ​If you see any differences for changes made prior to April, please create a case to have it updated.  ​Any April changes will be picked up and processed in May.​



DAS will begin testing a fix to the monthly file this week, with the plan to have the integration with OSGP/Voya Financial turned on starting next month.



If you are unsure of the enrollment information for the employee, please contact OSGP customer service. OSGP Participants can contact OSGP/Voya Financial Representative at 800-365-8494 for assistance. ​

UPDATE 4/10/2025:
DAS will be processing a new OSGP Contribution file provided by OSGP (VOYA) that will be uploaded to Workday prior to payroll processing for April Run 1 (April 25, 2025). This file contains all state employees’ OSGP/VOYA enrollments amounts (fixed or percentages) as of the end of March 2025. This should get the enrollments in Workday back in sync with OSGP/VOYA.

OSGP/VOYA is working on a resolution in their system and will be reaching out to DAS to begin testing later in April.

Please continue to create a Help Case in Workday when employees contact you about possible discrepancies with their OSGP/VOYA contributions.
OSPS needs to ensure that they have proper documentation from OSGP to process any changes to OSGP Contributions in Workday.

Please provide the following in cases submitted to OSPS:

  *   Official documentation from OSGP (VOYA) that includes:

  *   Date of the contribution

  *   Amount of contribution

  *   Date of any changes to contributions

  *   Agency Payroll office can send an email to OSGP with a request for documentation of the employee contributions.

  *   The employee could also ask for verification of their OSGP Contributions from OSGP.


________________________________
Update Message Mar. 19, 2025:

DAS completed a data comparison of VOYA to Workday last Friday and provided that information back to OSGP/VOYA. We are now waiting on their feedback and approval to make updates in Workday to impacted OSGP member contribution amounts.

OSGP/VOYA are working on a resolution and there is still an issue with some of the information coming to Workday in the monthly VOYA data file.

Please continue to create a help case if an employee reaches out regarding their OSGP contribution amount.  DAS recommends that employees provide a snapshot of their profile within VOYA to expedite the process.

If you are unsure of the enrollment information for the employee, please contact OSGP customer service. OSGP Participants can contact OSGP/Voya Representative at 800-365-8494 for assistance.

Also please note the following (see original email below for more details):
Can these missed contributions be made retroactively?
No, OSGP does not have the capability to post retroactive contributions through their recordkeeper.

Update Message Mar. 4, 2025:

DAS Workday has been in contact with OSGP and VOYA about the current contribution issue, see original message below for details. We are waiting for a timeline from OSGP’s vendor, (VOYA) on a solution to resolve the issues.

DAS is currently working on a data comparison for all enrollments.  We will be working with OSGP on possible differences and how to make these updates centrally.

Please continue to create help cases to have us make updates in Workday to match VOYA.  Be sure to include the original enrollment date for the contributions that are in question.  Also include any details that will help us get employees enrolled in the contributions as expected.

Original OSGP Contribution Issue notice sent Feb. 14, 2025

Good morning,

We recently noticed an increase in cases coming in regarding discrepancies between Oregon Savings Growth Program (OSGP) data and Workday data. We reached out to OSGP and had an initial meeting with them and their recordkeeper, VOYA, to see how we can help identify the source of the problem.

After that meeting, OSGP sent us a list of over 45 OSGP Participants that have contacted them about their contribution discrepancies. We are currently analyzing the transactions based on the data coming into Workday from OSGP via VOYA’s recordkeeper system. Any findings and patterns we identify will be provided to OSGP and VOYA to review in their recordkeeper system.

Please note the following regarding how information comes into Workday for OSGP contributions:

  1.  This is an integration where OSGP (via VOYA) is the system of record.

  1.  VOYA compiles all changes made by OSGP Participants happening in the recordkeeping system between the 1st day of the month and the last day of the month, with a 4 p.m. EST cutoff. After the cutoff, VOYA creates a file for DAS that contains those OSGP Participants contribution changes. DAS has an integration that will process that file on the 16th of the following month which then updates Workday with the OSGP contribution changes before payroll is processed.

  *   If any OSGP contribution changes will not process, those records are reviewed by DAS Workday Support team and if necessary, manual entries are completed centrally.

  *   For example:  January 31, 2025, all January activity is captured in VOYA’s system, and a file is created:

  *   This file is processed in Workday on February 16, 2025.
  *   OSGP Participants will see these changes on their February 28, 2025, pay slip.

Unfortunately, the files Workday received from VOYA in recent months may not have reflected all OSGP contributions for some OSGP Participants and impacted the accuracy of Workday payroll deductions. We understand the importance of this issue and are working closely with OSGP and VOYA to resolve this quickly. We will provide an update when more information is available to share in the coming week.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the issue?
OSGP (Deferred compensation and Roth) contributions changes listed in VOYA’s recordkeeping system for some OSGP Participants does not match payroll deductions in Workday.

How long has this been going on?
DAS reached out in January 2025 and OSGP informed DAS that mismatches started occurring in October 2024.

Do we know how many employees are impacted?
DAS was given a list of 45 OSGP Participants to investigate. Once a data comparison between VOYA and Workday is done, a full list of OSGP Participants identified that were impacted to determine a solution.

When will this be fixed?
DAS is currently working with OSGP and VOYA to resolve this as soon as possible.

What should I do if an OSGP Participant reaches out with an issue?
Verify their benefits in Workday, then create a Help Case and provide proof of the OSGP Participant contributions in VOYA’s recordkeeping system.

Can these missed contributions be made retroactively?
No, OSGP does not have the capability to post retroactive contributions through their recordkeeper. However, an additional contribution could be made (see example below). OSGP and DAS recommend that you confirm the OSGP Participants contributions between VOYA recordkeeping system and Workday to ensure their contributions match moving forward. For any additional OSGP contribution changes, OSGP Participants can contact OSGP/Voya Representative at 800-365-8494 for assistance.


  *   For example: Employee “John Smith” had a missed January contribution of $100. John reaches out to OSGP and confirms an additional contribution can be done. OSGP will message John’s agency payroll to make an additional $100 contribution. Agency payroll would do a one time pay input in the current pay period (February) so that $200 is taken out on the next payslip (February 28, 2025).

What about the interest related to these missed contributions?
OSGP Participants can contact OSGP/Voya Representative at 800-365-8494 for assistance.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

DAS Workday Support
