21P to CAL

1. Determine the total amount previously paid as a 21P and set up an overpayment for the same amount in the Additional Pay panel using the earn code OVP.

CAL to 21P

The earnings previously paid as a CAL will be automatically deducted from the 21P earnings due. If the employee worked in the 2001 - 2002 school year, the agency must submit a balance of contract in the Time Entry panel using the earn code BAL to pay the CAL earnings due for the period 08/15/2002 to 08/31/2002.

Deductions for 21P Employees Who Worked Summer Session

Agencies must restart tax-sheltered annuities, federated funds, maintenance (taxable and non-taxable), and union insurance deductions effective 8/15/02 for employees who worked summer session.

When Agencies Need to Enter Contract Pay and Additional Pay Information

Prevention of Automatic Restoration of Additional Pay Earnings

• To change the amount of Additional Pay, submit a row effective 8/15/02 with the new earnings amount before the automatic restoration occurs (pay period 11L).
• To stop the additional pay earnings, insert a row effective 8/15/02, leave the Annual Additional Earnings field blank, and an Earn End Date of 8/15/02 before the automatic restoration occurs (pay period 11L).

Changes after Automatic Restoration

Agencies must enter information on the Contract Pay Panel and, if applicable, the Additional Pay Panel when:

• A 21P employee is hired/re-hired after the automatic restoration.
• An employee has a pay basis code change to 21P after period 11L is processed. A data change (DTA)/correct history (COR) must be requested to change the effective date of the earnings on the Additional Pay panel.
• The contract begin date must always be 8/15/2002 and the contract end date must always be 6/6/2003.
