[Mail_treas] USPS Compensation Bug

[Marcia Wylie]

Good Morning All,

We have discovered a bug with Compensations.
We found that the Amount Paid CAN exceed the Contract Amount and not generate an error when you process your payroll.
What we tested gave us the following results.

  1.  When the payroll was initialized, in Current, the system was processing a zero check - no error
  2.  I then entered an amount to process for this employee by changing the units and unit amount, using a Regular Pay Type.  The Current entry paid the employee the amount entered, EVEN THOUGH THIS AMOUNT EXCEEDED THE CONTRACT AMOUNT and did not produce errors to stop the over payment of the Contract Amount. ( I know there are times that it is intended to enter a Misc pay to a contract compensation but Regular Pay Type is selected in error)
This is a huge issue.  If it were June I would be more concerned.
SSDT has a jira issue classified as a MAJOR BUG status.
Please be mindful of this bug especially if you have employees that are nearing the end of their contract or you are processing a contract pay-out.

If you have any concerns you can go to Core/Compensations/Contract Compensations
Filter by Contract Amount and Amount Paid
Filter by FYTD Gross greater than 0
Run a spreadsheet Report
Insert a column after the Amount Paid Column
Enter a calculation to see if the remaining contract amount calculates with a negative amount. (it shouldn't)
Example :   Contract Amount - Amount Paid = Positive Remaining Contract Amount

If you have any questions please send an email to helpfiscal at mveca.org<mailto:helpfiscal at mveca.org>.

Thank you,
Marcia and Ashley
