Followup to KI0094 - Maymester Payrolls containing SUM Earn Codes Please distribute the following as needed. Action may be required for this follow-up information. Note: Audience for this announcement is TRS Reporting personnel. FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION: Modification to correctly assign SUM earnings to only those employees that worked in the SUM paygroup for May will be Released on Thursday morning prior to 8:00 a.m., May 29, 2008. Prior to the modification when the Populate TRS/ORP Temp Table (BORIF04A) process was run, employees that followed an employee containing SUM earnings for May, were incorrectly populated with the SUM earnings values from the previous row until a change in Plan or Earnings type occurred. Institutions that have run the Populate TRS/ORP Temp Table (BORIF04A) process prior to Release 3.31a should rerun the process to ensure accurate results. It is recommended that the reconcilement of the TRS/ORP Report be performed prior to creating the TRS/ORP File for submission to TRS.
