slide15. 15 Missed Additional Pay<br>
slide16. Additional Pay & Payroll Requests Payroll Requests: Off-Cycle or Missed Pay
These transactions are intended to pay employees for money owed from their BASE pay in UCPath, in which their FTE is tied to.
Additional Pay is NOT considered part of an employee’s base pay, therefore cannot be submitted as an off-cycle or Missed Pay type of Payroll request. 16<br>
slide17. How to Pay Missed/Owed Additional Pay? If you owe an employee money due to a missed additional pay transaction, submit a ONE TIME ADDITIONAL PAY transaction to pay what is owed.
If additional pay is owed to the employee for multiple pay periods, add an additional row to indicate each pay period. 17<br>
slide18. 18 Retro Pay Deadlines<br>
slide19. Retro Pay Deadlines Scenario
Submitted a PayPath Transaction for a Monthly employee pay increase on 9/21/22 with effective date of 7-1-22
PayPath deadline 9/22 5pm
Transaction Deadline 9/19 3pm
When will the retro pay for the increase be paid?
Answer:
Pay at new rate for Month of September will be on Sept. 30 check
The retro pay increase for July-Aug will be paid on Nov. 1 check
Why?
The pay increase was in time for September pay because submitted before PayPath Deadline
The Retro increase will not pay because it missed the 9/19 Retro pay deadline
For both to be reflected in Sept. 30 check PayPath would need to be approved by 9/19 3pm 19 9/19 9/22<br>
slide20. 20 Finance Related Calendar / Schedule<br>
slide21. Finance Related Deadlines on Website 21 The GL Calendar section provides important information related to salary cost transfer deadlines, also when information will be available on DOPE report and in KFS.<br>
slide22. GL Processing Calendar 22 SCT deadlines are highlighted on this version of the calendar
Use the SCT schedule to determine when these transactions will be visible on DOPE report and when they will post in KFS.<br>
slide23. Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) 23 Note: SCT is the current correct term – Direct Retro is term for pre- Oct 2021 data. Version 1.0 09302022 1 2 3<br>

slide26. Error Resolution Process 26 If the error message on the previous page is encountered, follow the steps for resolution.
Steps:

If you entered the ChartField correctly, follow up with the financial analyst in your department to ensure the information is correct.

slide27. 27 Overpayment Information<br>
slide28. Overpayment Year-End Information The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) states that repayment of a payroll overpayment must occur in the same year as the overpayment.
Important deadlines:
• Submit requests for overpayments occurring Jan. 1 through Nov. 15, 2022, by Nov. 18 UCPath may not be able to process requests received after Nov 30 in time
• Employees must repay the net amount of the overpayment (gross earnings less taxes and deductions) by December 31, 2022. If payment is not received or a repayment plan agreed to by December 31, 2022, the employee's W-2 will include the amount overpaid and applicable federal and state withholding taxes
What happens if I do not submit adjustments before the end of the year?
Overpayments not corrected before Dec 31, 2022, will be processed in 2023 as prior-year overpayments, and the employee will owe unrecoverable taxes.
Other important details:
• Be sure to notify employees with outstanding overpayments so they can arrange for repayment before December 31, 2022
• Employees who have previously agreed to repayment terms are not subject to this deadline
• If repayment is not made in 2022, the employee must repay a higher amount since withheld taxes cannot be adjusted in subsequent years 28<br>
slide29. Returning Paychecks for Overpayments Location teams or employees holding paychecks for pay that is not due must return them to UCPath immediately.
Employees may return uncashed checks to UCPath via U.S. Mail at the address below, along with a note indicating that the check is related to an overpayment. UCPath will reverse the returned check to ensure that the employee's 2022 W-2 is correct.
