Update PSERS reporting for Sabbatical leave
Need Skyward to update PSERS state reporting correctly for Sabbatical leave.
We were given a solution in SKYWARD to create correction contributions but not a way (except with a manual change in state reporting) to report the wages as described below.
From PSERS Manual
During the period of the leave the member must be paid 50% or more of their contracted salary. The
employer reports the actual amount paid to the member as well as the unpaid portion (totaling 100% of
contracted salary) each month. Members are considered to be in regular daily attendance during the
period of the leave and service is reported accordingly. The employer and member pay contributions on
100% of the contracted salary.
Reporting Requirements
The employee (member) should be reported to PSERS as follows:
Work Status = SABTLC - Sabbatical Leave (Contributing) When submitting the Contract
Record the Work Status Start Date should be equal to the first day of Sabbatical Leave. After
submitting the SABTLC Contract Record your Work Report should reflect the same Work
Status.
Wages should be equal to the employee's full contract salary. Wages should be reported in
the following fields.
Wages paid to the employee should be reported in the BASE field.
Wages representing the unpaid portion of the full contract salary should be
reported in the URCC field.
Days or Hours should be reported based on the time that would have been rendered had the
school employee not been on leave.
If the school employee was employed with a Wage Type of Per Diem or Salaried
Days should be reported based on the number of days the employee would have
worked.
If the school employee was employed with a Wage Type of Hourly Hours should be
reported based on the number of hours the employee would have worked.
Member Contributions should be paid by the school employee to the employer and remitted
and reported by the employer based on the employee's Member Contribution Rate
multiplied by the employee's full contract salary.
Employer Contributions should be paid and remitted based on the Employer Contribution
Rate in effect for the fiscal year(s) of the Sabbatical Leave multiplied by the employee's full
contract salary.
Maybe create a field that would hold the salary amount that needs to override the regular salary amount when the employee is on sabbatical.
