Specifying PERS reportable earnings.
Place a " + " in the retirement Pay Base (as indicated in Numeric Value 1 of this common code) in hour definition screen 2 for any hour that is to add to PERS normal reportable earnings. Some contributions are also PERS reportable earnings (for instance, longevity pay) and should add to the normal reportable earnings Pay Base by having a " + " in the appropriate Pay Base in contribution definition screen 2.
Place a " + " in the appropriate Pay Base for each type of pay (Special Compensation, Retro, etc.,) when defining the various types of PERS reportable earnings. For instance, if there is Special Compensation (PR06) to be paid (perhaps through a contribution or an hour) for clothing allowance that CDH's definition should have a " + " in the Special Compensation Pay Base (specified in Numeric Value 5, above). Subsequent contributions and/or deductions will use the value accumulated for this Pay Base to compute the amount of the employee's PERS deduction amount and/or employer's PERS amount of contribution for this special compensation.
