IRIS HR/Payroll Q & A

Question

How do I rehire a retiree through STEPS when the individual is being rehired in a different payroll area? Also, how do I handle an employee who transfers from one payroll area to another?

Answer

All retirees who are rehired should be taken through the Retiree Rehire action in PA40. Employees who transfer should be taken through the appropriate Create Assignment action (Main Campus or Hospital) in PA40 and choose "Change of Organizational Assignment" for new work relationship.

In each of these cases, the change should be made effective at the beginning of the Pay Period that the person is leaving (BW or MO). The new payroll area should be reflected on the new assignment, based on the position attributes.

Note: There may be some exceptions based on the timing of Payrolls. Many problems can occur with these transfers across payroll areas. If you are not sure what date to use, or you are receiving hard (red) error messages when completing the action, please contact the IRIS Help Desk.
