Tracking Retirees and their benefits

Hi,
I have a solution to my issue but wanted to check and see how others are
doing this.
The issue: Tracking Retirees and their benefits.
How are any of you designating employees as retirees? Do you terminate
them, for reason Retirement, and use a person_type of retiree?
That's the easy part. How do you track their benefits AND payments for
benefits? Basically my client treats certain categories of retirees as a
kind of COBRA. Based on certain criteria, they are entitled to full benes
for a while, which they partially pay for, and then loose their eligibility
after a time. I'm not talking about the 18 month COBRA termination
eligibility. This is specific to my client and could be many years.
Tracking their elections is easy, give them a future final process date
which is when the benefits end. But how do you (do any of you?) track
retirement payments?
Also, a question on COBRA. California has a requirement to give terminated
employees benefits for 29 months instead of 18 months, if they were
disabled when terminated. Has anyone found a way to do this without
customizing HR's COBRA module?
Thanks in advance,
Lewis

My client lists retirees as employees (approximately 2000 retirees). They
are assigned to their own payroll - Pension. Elements were created such as
Retiree Health Plan, Pension earnings and deductions, etc. These elements
are linked exclusively to the Pension payroll. If an employee is eligible
and opts to retire, he is not terminated. Instead, he/she is transferred to
the pension payroll.
My client is not utilizing the Oracle COBRA forms.

I have an answer on my COBRA question about the 29 months for terminated
with a disability. Someone here on the listed pointed out that it's not
just CA as I thought but standard nationwide. I went back and played with
it and if a person has the disabled checkbox checked on the person screen
and then is terminated, the COBRA benefit period is 29 months.

Checkwriter does not automatically print your check images to a printer. This process only prepares the check images and places them in your "OUT" directory. The name of the file will be p
You should, however, be able to view the image file via the View button on the request screen. I do not know why this is not working. Hopefully, this is what Oracle Support is working on, and not why the images do not automatically print.

Hi.
I'm more of an HR person than a payroll person but I have a question.
I was just talking to a person at another site. They are still in the
implementation phase not production. This is r11.
They're running a payroll and people who have multiple assignments are
getting a seperate paycheck for each assignment. Now I could understand if
they were on different payrolls but each assignment has the same payroll.
Is this right? I thought it should be one check per person per business
group.
Any insight would be appreciated,
Lewis

Thats a 'feature' of the Oracle payroll system.
I believe that having multiple assignments generate a single check is gooing
to be available in the future...like release 12.

Dude
I saw your question and i thought someone answered correctly, hence i did
not venture an answer. But, i do know how u feel when u don't get a good
answer.
Anyway, if u have multiple assignments and have payroll and pay basis
atttached to both assignments and assuming u have "earnings" element
attached to both assignments the employee will get 2 checks. This is a
standard feature of Oracle HR.
If u remember correctly at Yale (Lewis and I worked at Yale University for
a period, b/4 he moved to good old California), we chose to attached
earnings, PTO, Benefits elements, etc only to the Primary Assignment. All
secondary assignments are for HR purposes only.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and also to the HRMS world.
So Pls bear with me if the questions look too stupid:
My setup is HPUX 10.2, 10.7 NCA, HRMS package right now.
1) We are live since Jan '99 but still not on direct deposit. For testing
the Direct deposit stuff we are doing the following steps:
-- Run the Payroll process on a set of 5 people. 4 of them have banking
information entered for them but 1 has no banking info.
Out of 4 persons having banking info , 2 of them have the info 'Prenote
information' filled for them manually .
2) Run the prepayment on this set of persons.
3) Run the Check Writer.
3) Run the NACHA process after this.
4) At this instance we are able to see the pay process results and
assignment process results from the 'US HRMS Manager' responsibility.
5) The person who had no info for banking details filled got the check from
the check writer.
6) The two persons who had been filled the 'Prenote info' manually got the
money into their bank a/c corectly (we are able to see that in the system
under )
7) The remining 2 person who were having the banking details filled but no
'prenote info' got the checks thru check writer and were shown 0 amount
under their 'Direct Deposit' head which makes sense I think.
8) When we run the deposit advice , it completes successfully but their is
no output .
My question is why we are not getting any output from the 'Deposit Advice'
process?? Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Did anyone apply the Patches 935062 and 913411 for the Check Sort problem.
If yes did this solve the check sort problem. Did you have to do anything
else apart from applying this patch.
We have not yet recd. this patch and are waiting for them.
Also has anyone tried to successfully modify/customize the report PAYRPCHK
report to alter the sort sequence. I tried this today and was'nt
successful. Since we need to sort by location and name. I joined the
pay_assignment_Actions table to people and assignment table and performed
order by location_id, full_name. The report's output does not change.
Thanks in advance.

We've applied both patches, and the CheckWriter is still not sorted
correctly. If you query the tables, the assignment actions are processed in
the sorted order, but the check writer itself isn't sorting them.

Nilesh/Peter: The check sorting is controlled by a package pay_chqwrt_pkg
that is available in your PAY_TOP directory path on the server. This has a
default sorting defined. Modify this package to suit you needs, include a
custom check sort quickcode and you are set. Hope this helps.

Did anybody encounter this problem?

Folks,
I really need some advise on the following:
I am at a client site implementing Oracle Payroll Release 11.0.2
We are in the initial process of the Conference Room Pilot setup and we are
just starting to test out basic Oracle functionality.
1. I have created a salary basis for salaried employees and designated the
regular salary element to this basis.
2. I have linked the element regular salary to the appropriate payroll
3. I have given the employee information on the salary administration form.
4. The element does appears on the element entry form.
I receive the following error messages:
Error was encountered when processing assignment 91
Error was encountered when processing Element Type Regular Salary
Error was encountered when processing formula REGULAR_SALARY
An error occurred during formula execution:
No such formula (6)
I have logged a TAR with Oracle support... and I wait.
Can't anyone point me in a right direction to troubleshoot this???

You probably need to run teh Bulk Compile formulas process. Check first to
see if the formula "REGULAR_SALARY" is marked as verified. If it is not then
run the Bulk Compile Formulas process from the Submit Request form under the
responsibility of US HRMS Manager

Greetings:
We are on 10.6SC version of HRIS.
When we reverse a paycheck, the impact to the employee's records is correct
- the wages, taxes, etc. are reduced appropriately.
As we have discovered, the reversal transaction is not passing to Oracle's
General Ledger. We called Support and their answer was to roll back all
costing beginning with current pay period through the effective date of the
voided check. Since the voided check may have been written months ago, the
idea of rolling back all the costing is not acceptable.
Their other solution was to make a manual journal entry for every reversed
check. (I thought we are in the electronic age???)
How does anyone else handle this situation?

Did you Void the check or use the Reverse process?
'Void'ing doesn't 'void' the costing,
so it really doesn't 'void' it from your cash records.
We use the Oracle reverse process which can be included in costing.
We've referenced the book on the 'VOID' process and it is really for just
voiding one check number (which no, still doesn't let your reconciliation
records know about it, since they don't exist in Oracle) and replacing that
with another check number.
And even that doesn't work well when it subsequent payrolls have been
processed.
Did you use the 'Reverse' process,
since it appears you are doing more than just 'voiding' a check?

[If you are presently using, implementing, or are familiar with the Oracle
HR/Ceridian Source100 Payroll interface, this message is for you. If not,
sorry for the wasted bandwidth.]
Fellow Oracle/Ceridian interface clients and implementers,
We are being told by Ceridian that intra-pay period changes can create
unexpected results when brought through the interface. Is that correct? If
so, I'm curious as to how you are dealing with this.
Example:
A new employee starts on 09-Aug. The record is created and transmitted
through the interface into S100 the next day during our normal "pull".
Two days later, the employee's address changes. The interface view sees
the change and sends the record through the interface again on a
subsequent pull. In the process, the employee's status code (in this
example) changes from "N" (new) to NULL.
Our users (across the USA) process changes in Oracle HR daily. We pull
records through the interface daily (we typically load the prior day's
activity each morning at 9am). In this scenario, once a new hire has their
status reset, they are rejected when we transmit payroll.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a known limitation of the
interface? Does it happen with ALL intra-pay-period changes? What is the
workaround, if any?
Thanks in advance for your help,
