There are two Salary buckets on the RP File, Gross Salary and Total TRS Eligible Gross Salary.\u00a0 \u00a0The Gross Salary bucket will get populated for Lump Sum Payments and submitted to TRS on the RP File.<\/p>\n

Per TRS….<\/p>\n

All compensation, whether TRS eligible or non-TRS eligible would be reported under Total Gross Compensation.\u00a0 So signing bonuses, allowances, reimbursements, etc., would be reported under Total Gross Compensation.<\/p>\n

Regarding longevity pay, it is typically considered TRS eligible compensation.\u00a0 If deemed eligible, it would be reported in both Total Gross Compensation as well as Eligible TRS Gross Compensation. Please the 6th<\/sup> bullet from our creditable compensation page:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Longevity pay when it is paid in periodic payments as the service is rendered. Lump sum payments paid as retention bonuses or other incentives to retain employees are not considered longevity pay and should not be reported.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    https:\/\/www.trs.texas.gov\/Pages\/re_creditable_compensation.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n

    As for the reason why TRS requests this information, due to GASB 67\/68, TRS needs to collect data on all employees, regardless of TRS eligibility. Therefore even for those who are not in TRS eligible positions, we need to collect information on all compensation.\u00a0 That said, reporting the same data elements for all employees would help standardize the reporting process. This also is a way for our employers to compare their payroll register to the TRS payroll file and verify salary totals match. This has helped our employers identify potential missing salary and\/or individuals who were not reported to TRS in error.<\/p>\n

    Effective September 1, 2019, the rate for TRS employer contributions changed from 6.8% to 7.5%. TRS requires that deductions be calculated based upon pay date<\/strong>. To accommodate this Workday was configured to calculate the monthly pay period for August (September 3, 2019 pay date) with the new rate of 7.5%. The TRS employer rate was changed to 7.5% with an effective August 31, 2019 in Workday. This allowed the August biweekly payrolls to process with the correct rate of 6.8%.<\/p>\n

    Retro Payroll Processing
    \nThe TRS rate of 6.8% is being used during retro payroll processing and, depending upon circumstances, may need to be adjusted to 7.5% with correcting entries made by the payroll workstation.<\/p>\n

    This Excel spreadsheet<\/a> provides information on how and when the TRS employer rate is used within Workday and will help in determining what action is needed by the workstation when reviewing retro reports and\/or the new TRS Rate Change Analysis report (Situation Codes A and B). The chart also reflects the impact on TRS Teams and FAMIS for reference.<\/p>\n

    August 2019 Payment Corrections
    \nThere were twenty-seven on-demand \/ manual payments identified on the August 30, 2019 biweekly pay date that were entered with the monthly pay period of August 1 to August 31. These processed at the new 7.5% rate and should have processed at the 6.8% rate. Workday Services recommends correcting the TRS employer contribution for these payments. A credit entry by the workstation will need to be processed on the next biweekly payroll since there was an overpayment to TRS employer contribution (Situation Code D).

    TRS Updates regarding Creditable Compensation<\/p>\n

    TRS Update – January 2019<\/a><\/p>\n

    Effective with the 09\/2019 Transmission, TRS TEAM will be reliant on the Earning Codes stored on Pay History to make the determination of whether Salary is TRS Eligible.\u00a0 \u00a0Prior to the 09\/2019 Transmission, non-TRS Eligible Earning Codes such as cell phone allowances were skipped.\u00a0 \u00a0All Salary information is now sent to TRS and grouped into TRS Eligible or non-TRS Eligible Salary fields.<\/p>\n

    Starting with the January 2018 pay periods, the TRS TEAM process began using Workday’s Earning Codes to determine whether compensation is TRS Creditable. To ensure that employees are properly credited with TRS, please ensure they are paid on the appropriate Earning Code(s). This is particularly important in less common situations such as when an employee works in a second position, etc.<\/p>\n

    We are currently working on documentation of all the Workday Earning Codes and will distribute it to each Workstation soon.<\/p>\n

    More information on TRS Creditable Compensation can be found on the TRS web site: https:\/\/www.trs.texas.gov\/Pages\/re_creditable_compensation.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
