Announcements for HR

January 23, 2009:

  • See the new job aid for best practices when entering a New Hire.
  • There is a new transaction ZSEV - Severance Pay Calculations now available for your use. This transaction was designed to replace the PMIS transaction PMXSEV. See the job aid for this new transaction.
  • There currently isn't an option that would distinguish between regular Separation Due to Unavailability when leave/benefits is exhausted" and Separation Due to Unavailability from Workers' Comp.

The Class & Comp. Section will be working with BEACON to try to remedy this situation and hopefully create a separate "unavailability from workers' comp" Reason under the Separation action.

In the meantime, however, when processing separations due to unavailability, please use the Involuntary Separation reason whether it is a regular unavailability situation or a workers' comp. situation. For workers' comp. situations, always make a "Workers' Comp." notation in the comment field attached to the action.

Those SAP employee records with a Separation-Other Action for workers comp will need to have that Action re-run and the new Reason (Involuntary Separation) created.

  • Please highlight the appropriate Separation Action in SAP
  • Click on the Pencil button. At this point, you will be able to change the Reason to Involuntary Separation.
  • Green check and Save the record.

No other data in the Action needs to be changed. After you are done, please review the Action to ensure that the Notes are still attached to the record. As a precaution, you may want to first go into the Record, highlight, and copy those notes so that you can go back in and paste them to the changed Action using Maintain Text.

You will be notified if there are any changes to this process as we work with Beacon.


January 14, 2009:

  • The question has come up about Military Differential Pay. We suggest doing the following:

    According to BEST, Military pay is not set up in BEACON yet. For now, we calculate the difference and it IS paid through Accounts Payable and the employee receives a 1099 at year end. If BEACON eventually sets it up to be paid through payroll they will let us know.

    Have HR send you a request for payment with copies of the pay statement(s) from the military as back up for my calculations, then once you have it calculated, YOU submit the request to AP with copies of all back up documentation.

  • BEACON 2009 Time Entry Deadlines--Revised.

January 5, 2009:

  • As a reminder, all 2008 time -- especially Absence Type 9000 (Approved Leave) -- should be entered and approved by Jan. 8. Conversely, we request that all agencies wait until after Jan. 8 before managers approve or time administrators enter employee times that include Absence Type 9000 (Approved Leave) for dates in 2009.
  • Recently a change was made to PO13 to remove infotypes not used by the state. PO13 users will notice that the position infotype list has been condensed. It is our hope that removing infotypes not needed will reduce confusion for PO13 users.
