After a paycheck becomes available in PeopleSoft Employee Self-Service (ESS), employees can view the Compensation Split page in ESS to view their earnings in greater detail. Multiple Components of Pay (MCOPs), additional pays, stipends, payroll earnings, and items which add to the total gross are listed as line items with corresponding values.

Here is a sample Compensation Split for February 2018 as seen by Employee ID 28445 in ESS:

Effective June 18, 2018, district office staff with Payroll or Human Resources roles can run the M_PY_COMPENSATION_SPLIT query to see the same information viewed by the employees on the Compensation Split screen in ESS.

Here are sample query results for the February 2018 paycheck for Employee ID 284453. Notice how they match exactly what the employee sees in ESS.

Notes for using the M_PY_COMPENSATION_SPLIT query:

• There are three prompts. The first, Company (Co), is a required field. Example: 099 
• You can run the query for the following scenarios: 
• For 1 employee for 1 pay period – Enter Prompts 1, 2, 3 
• For 1 employee for all pay periods for which he or she had a PeopleSoft paycheck produced – Enter Prompts 1, 2 
• For all employees for 1 pay period – Enter Prompts 1, 3 
• For all employees for all pay periods – Enter Prompt 1 
• A Payroll or HR role is required to run this query: M_HR_JOB_DATA, M_HR_JOB_DATA_RDO, M_HR_JOB_EDIT_ONLY, M_HR_JOB_EMPL_DATA, M_HR_JOB_EMPL_DATA_RDO, M_HR_JOB_RDO, M_HR_PERSON_CONTACT, M_HR_PERSON_CONTACT_RDO, M_HR_SPECIALIST, M_HR_SPECIALIST_RDO, M_PAYROLL_ADMINISTRATOR, M_PAYROLL_ADMINISTRATOR_RDO, M_PAYROLL_CBO, M_PAYROLL_CBO_RDO, M_PAYROLL_SPECIALIST, M_PAYROLL_SPECIALIST_RDO, M_RECRUITER, M_RECRUITING_HIRING_MANAGER, M_RECRUITING_MANAGER, M_RECRUITMENT_ADMINISTRATOR

For a small population of employees who receive earnings from additional pay and/or the Timesheet, some have reported an issue with the Employee Self-Service Compensation Split link stating duplicate earnings data. The actual paycheck is not impacted; the paycheck produces the correct amount and excludes the duplicate listing.

The CRC and Post Implementation Team are switching from GoToWebinar and moving to a new product called Zoom as the tool for online meetings and demos. From your end, it should feel pretty similar when you attend our online sessions. We just wanted to make you aware of this change. Our first online session using Zoom will be next week’s Third Thursday Demo called New and Revised HCM Queries.

The June 2018 Third Thursday Demo is called New and Revised HCM Queries. See and hear about 20+ new and recently revised HCM queries that are available to you for the following areas of PeopleSoft HCM: Combo Codes, Retirement, Human Resources, Payroll, Benefits, Time & Labor, and Absence Management. Presenters will be from Education Business Systems (EBS) and the SDCOE Retirement Unit.

Date/Time: Thursday, June 21, 2018 from 10:00 - 11:00 am (One hour is blocked but we anticipate that the demo will conclude a bit earlier)

A new Reason called Personal Leave (PEL) has been created. You can select it when using the Action of Leave of Absence - UNPAID (LOA) in Job Data or when creating an Unpaid Leave of Absence PAF (Personnel Action Form).

Unpaid Leave of Absence Job Data example:

Unpaid Leave of Absence PAF example:

During the summer months, unique situations arise in regards to compensation and deductions processing. Here are three helpful reminders:

1. You can stop a deduction, both general and benefit deductions, on the SDCOE Custom Override Deductions (Employee) screen. 
2. You can stop a deduction, both general and benefit deductions, on the payline. 
3. Extra care should be taken when modifying the Benefit Deductions taken and General Deductions Taken drop down menus. 

Please see details and screenshots below.

REMINDER #1: You can stop a deduction, both general and benefit deductions, on the SDCOE Custom Override Deductions (Employee) screen.

• Main Menu > SDCOE Custom > Payroll > Processes > Override Deductions (Employee) 
• This screen is evaluated during each calc and will load an override with a zero value for each deduction input. 
• If the deduction is split funded between employee and employer, an override will need to be input for both of them. 
• Uncheck any months in which you do not want the benefits to process. 

Employee Paid General Deduction: Here is an example of an employee paid general deduction that should not process in July or August.

Employer Paid Benefit Deduction: Here is an example of an employer paid benefit deduction that should not process in July or August.

REMINDER #2: You can stop a deduction, both general and benefit deductions, on the payline.

• Main Menu > Payroll for North America > Payroll Processing USA > Update Paysheets > By Payline 
• If the deduction is split funded between employee and employer, an override will need to be input for both of them. 

Employee Paid General Deduction: Here is an example of an employee paid general deduction that should not process during this payroll processing.

Employee Paid Benefit Deduction: Here is an example of an employee paid benefit deduction that should not process in July or August.

REMINDER #3: Extra care should be taken when modifying the Benefit Deductions taken and General Deductions Taken dropdown menus.

• In the on-cycle payroll processing, these fields should be left as the default “Deduction.” 
• If modified, it will apply to all paylines, not just the payline detail it was input on.
