Exception Hourly Time Invoked for August 2020

posted Aug 5, 2020, 8:34 AM by Barbara Thiss

This is for Districts that have Exception Hourly Employees:

Exception Hourly employees (those within the EXC-FIX or EXCFIX Workgroup who are active) have had their time invoked for the month of August.

Schedules are invoked automatically unless communicated otherwise. Thank you to all who have configured their holiday calendars to address the summer months and other dates they do not wish to be paid.

It is important to send updated Holiday Calendars to the PeopleSoft Support team so those may be configured. Exception Hourly employees’ scheduled hours will not be loaded onto the Timesheet screen for dates found on the holiday schedule. Recommend running the M_TL_HOLIDAY_SCHEDULE query to review current holidays and submit a Service Portal Ticket with updates.

REMINDER: Audit and update the SDCOE Custom Override Deductions (Employee) screen for all deductions that are not scheduled to process over 12 months

posted Aug 3, 2020, 7:51 AM by Barbara Thiss

In preparation for the summer months in which certain benefits and general deductions should not process, please audit and update your employees on the SDCOE Custom Override Deductions (Employee) screen accordingly. These audits should be completed well in advance of the 1st pre-calc in which you do not want the deductions to process.

Use the five queries listed below to assist your auditing purposes:

M_BN_EMPL_DED_PROC_GENDED: Lists all employees’ General Deduction Overrides broken down by month. This query will return results for active employees, where the general deductions are active, and if a goal amount is specified, the deduction will be displayed if the goal amount is not met. If the goal amount is met, the deduction code will not be reflected in the query.
M_BN_EMPL_DED_PROC_HLTH: Lists all employees’ Health Plan Overrides broken down by month.
M_BN_EMPL_DED_PROC_NONHLTH: Lists all employees’ Disability / Life / Long Term Care / Legal Plans Overrides broken down by month.
M_BN_EMPL_DED_PROC_SVNGS: Lists all employees’ Savings Plan Overrides broken down by month.
M_BEN_DED_OVERRD_MISSING: To audit employees enrolled in benefits but do not have overrides entered.

FIXED – Nightly Absence Calc Process ran successfully and absence balances are now up to date on 07/31/2020

posted Jul 31, 2020, 8:13 AM by Barbara Thiss

We appreciate your patience while we were fixing the Absence Calc process.

In reference to the announcement sent on, Thursday, July 30, 2020, about the Nightly Absence Calc Process that did not finish its process, we wanted to let you know that it is now running successfully and absence balances are up to date on these screens:

Results by Calendar
Timesheet > Absence tab
Absence Request History
Queries like M_AM_DISTRICT_BALANCES

Because you were unable to review balances during this time, we recommend that you run the M_ABSENCE_EVENT_STATUS query to get a list of all absence events that were forecasted as INELIGIBLE. Enter your organization number in the Co (Company) prompt and select a Begin Date. The Begin Date prompt is used by the query to list all “Ineligible” absences having a start date greater than the Begin Date.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact PeopleSoft Support by submitting a Service Portal Ticket.
