Running the Deduction Prepay Load Status Query in HRS

Overview

The Deduction Prepay Load Status (UW_BN_PREPAY_LOAD_STATUS) query was created to provide Administrators the ability to review all employees setup on the Deduction Prepay Review Page prior to and after deduction prepay is loaded to payroll. The UWSS Service Operations will run a process to automatically setup Academic (C-Basis) employees on the Deduction Prepay Review Page for the March, April and May payrolls in anticipation of Short Work Break during the summer. All other employees can be manually setup prior to an anticipated Leave of Absence or Short Work Break directly on the Deduction Prepay Review Page.

Process Considerations:

  • Academic (C-Basis) employees are automatically setup on the Deduction Prepay Review Page based on the Benefit Primary Empl Record at the end of February for March, April, and May in preparation for the summer short work break. 
    • Employees must be enrolled in Benefit Plans at that time.
  • Employees can be manually setup for leave of absences anytime prior to the Deduction Prepay being added to the paycheck which is two days prior to each payroll confirm. 
  • The 'OK to Process' check on the Deduction Prepay Review Page can be removed prior to the Deduction Prepay Load to Payroll to prevent deductions if needed.  
    • NOTE:  Unchecking the 'OK to Process' checkbox will remove the check mark for all Plan Types for that particular payroll.
  • The query can be run after the Deduction Prepay Load to Payroll to verify which employees have been successfully loaded to payroll.
    • Status ‘Not Processed’ will identify employees setup with “OK to Process” checked. These will be manually reviewed and fixed by the UWSS.
    • Status ‘Loaded to Payroll’ will identify employees whose deduction prepay was setup on the paycheck.
  • Determine who will be returning in the fall and need summer prepay deductions.
    • When in doubt, start with the employee.
    • Follow up with the division/department/institution for the fall semester appointment to confirm.

9.2 Run to Excel
5.  Once you click on the Run to Excel link, a new page will open.  On that page, enter your Department or first character and %.
  • Example:  Enter A% into the Department field 
6.  Enter the Pay Run ID into the Pay Run ID field to determine which payroll you are reviewing. 
  • Note:  you can also search for your Pay Run ID by clicking on the magnifying glass.
7. Select the Load to Payroll Status value from the drop down menu.  The following will provide direction on which Load to Payroll Status to choose:
  • Two Days Before Payroll Confirm:
    • Not Processed:  The value should be selected to review and determine if Academic (C-Basis) employees automatically setup for the summer should have deduction prepay based on expectation of fall return.  In addition, you can review employees manually setup for leave of absence throughout the year.
  • Day Before Payroll Confirm or later:
    • Not Processed:  The value should be selected after the deduction prepay has been added to the paycheck.  The query will identify employees that did not successfully load to paychecks.  No action is required since the UWSS Service Operations will be reviewing and fixing as appropriate.  One common reason for Plan Types to not process is the benefit is zero cost to the employee.
    • Processed:  The value should be selected after the deduction prepay has been added to the paycheck.  The query will identify employees who successfully loaded to paychecks.  Please contact UW Shared Services if you identify an issue with an employee loaded and you expected different results.
