New Earnings Codes
OSC has created new Time Entry earnings codes to be used to process the repayment of the 2012-2013 SCF Deficit Reduction Plan:
| Earnings Codes | Description |
| D6F | 12-13 SCF DRP Repayment |
| D6M | 12-13 MC DRP Repayment |
Agency Action - Determining Repayment Amount
OSC has created LOCKED_QUERY_47 (SSG_DRP_Repay) in PS Query to assist agencies in identifying the total amount of unpaid deficit reduction plan monies that must be repaid to an employee who has left State service. This locked query will also supply all deficit monies deducted for 2011-2012. Please reference bulletin #1119 for 2011-2012 repayment codes.
When the query is run, agencies will be prompted for an Emplid. The query results will provide the calendar year total for the 2012-2013 SCF Deficit Reduction Plan earnings codes existing in the employee’s record including the new earnings codes identified above. Agencies should total separately those monies (both positive and negative) identified using the CSEA Deficit Reduction Plan earnings codes (D4F, R4F, D5F) and the M/C Deficit Reduction Plan earnings codes (D4M, R4M, D5M). If the employee has earnings for more than one of the Deficit Reduction Plans, separate transactions must be submitted using the appropriate earnings code.
Agency Action - Processing the DRP Repayment
A Time Entry transaction should be submitted as follows:
| Earnings Begin Date: | Last date the employee was active on the payroll |
| Earnings End Date: | Last date the employee was active on the payroll |
| Earn Code: | D6F - if the monies are identified using the SCF CSEA Deficit Reduction Plan earnings codes D6M - if the monies are identified using the M/C Deficit Reduction Plan earnings codes |
| Amount: | Total of deficit reduction plan monies identified by the query for the appropriate earnings code |
