Compensation for 01 Payroll |
| IMPORTANT PAYROLL DATES |
All RTEs and 03 new employee paperwork must be received in the payroll office by the employee's first day of employment. Employee information cannot be added to the attendance database until all paperwork is received, therefore, the employee will not be able to record their attendance on our EZ Labor system. The Payroll Office no longer accepts paper timesheets for 03 employees.
RTEs must be received in the Payroll Office by 6/3/13 to be included in the 6/21/13 and 7/5/13 pay dates.
RTEs must be received in the Payroll Office by 6/17/13 to be included in the 7/19/13 pay date.
During the Alternate Summer Work Schedule:
Supervisors - All 01 and 03 attendance timesheets must be approved and received in the payroll office, by 9:00am each Thursday. *(see HOLIDAY below)
Employees - Please check with your supervisor for your timesheet submittal deadline within your department.
We realize it may be necessary to anticipate hours for some employees. Please monitor this carefully so proper adjustments can be made on the next payroll if necessary.
*HOLIDAY:
Due to the Independence Day Holiday on Thursday 7/4/13, we are requesting all 01 & 03 timesheets for week ending 7/6/13 be submitted and approved by 9:00am on Wednesday 7/3/13.
We realize it may be necessary to anticipate hours for some employees. Please monitor this carefully so proper adjustments can be made on the next payroll if necessary.

Procedure for Distribution of Pay checks during the Alternate Summer Work Schedule
Effective 6/7/13-8/16/13: Regular paychecks, for those few employees not currently utilizing direct deposit options, will be made available and held in the Business Office until 11:30 am on paydays prior to being mailed.
Be sure to bring your Photo ID if you are picking up your paycheck.
NO DEDUCTIONS
01 employees will notice an increase in the net pay on 7/5 due to no deductions for health insurance and union dues. This occurs when there are 3 pay period end dates in a month, as was the case in June. Rest assured that this is not an error and enjoy the extra cash.
|
| REMINDERS |
It is very important that all employees review their pay advice(s) each pay period. Although we strive for 100% accuracy, there is always the possibility of an error either within or beyond our control. Please notify the Payroll Office as soon as possible, if you suspect any type of discrepancy on your pay advice.
For 03 Supervisors:
Due to the increase in the amount of email adjustments that Payroll is receiving after the pay period is locked, we can not guarantee that these adjustments will be included in the employees earning for that pay period. This only applies to the second week of the pay period.
We need your help, as supervisors, to stress to your employees the importance of entering their hours in the appropriate payroll system (EZ Labor or Kronos), on time each week so that you can approve their attendance before the payroll is locked.
If any of your employees need training or assistance in entering their attendance, please have them contact Kathy Uribe or Juliana Esposito and they will be happy to set-up a time to meet with them.
Prior Period Adjustments for 03 Employees
If a prior period adjustment is necessary the supervisor must send an email to ehenault@qcc.mass.edu and cc jesposito@qcc.mass.edu requesting the employee to be paid. This email must include:
a. Employee's Name
b. Employee's Emplid
c. Cost Center Number
d. Title Number
e. Dates Worked
f. In Time and Out Time for each date worked
g. Total number of hour worked for each date
h. Supervisor's Approval
It is not necessary to wait until Friday to send prior period adjustments. The email should be sent as soon as you know an adjustment is needed.
Direct Deposits for New Hires
If you recently submitted a Direct Deposit form as part of your new hire paperwork, please be aware there is a pre-note period before the direct deposit is activated. In most cases your first pay received will be in the form of a check and by the second paydate your funds will be direct deposited.
It is important that you verify that funds were deposited into your bank account before authorizing any withdrawals such as checks, automatic payments or transfers.
Please see the "Procedure for Distribution of Pay checks/advices" section of this newsletter for information regarding receiving your paycheck without delay.
The biweekly printing of pay advices are suppressed for all new hires. When your direct deposit is activated, your pay advice can be viewed or printed via the PayInfo Website, please see "PAYINFO INSTRUCTIONS" under the "Reminders" section of this newsletter. If you do not know your User ID, please contact the Payroll Office.
Procedure for Distribution of Pay checks/advices
All pay advices will be mailed directly to each staff member's currently listed home mailing address on paydays.
For those few employees that do not have direct deposit, pay checks will be made available and held in the Business Office until 2:30 PM on paydays prior to being mailed. Exceptions to this availability will be paydays falling on or during holiday periods. On these paydays, all checks will be mailed along with all pay advices. If checks will be first made available prior to mailing during any holiday periods, a notice to that effect will be sent to the campus from payroll prior to the holiday or holiday period.
Be sure to bring your Photo ID if you are picking up your pay check!
PAYINFO INSTRUCTIONS
The Office of the Comptroller has developed a web-based application that allows employees paid by HRCMS (bi-weekly payroll) to access payroll remittance advice through the Internet at your convenience. You'll find that the payroll information is actually available on the Thursday the day prior to your payday!
To access PayInfo, go to www.payinfo.state.ma.us. The User ID is your unique employee ID, found on your HRCMS payroll remittance advice. The default password is your employee ID followed by the last 4 digits of your social security number. The system will then prompt you to change your password.
Remember, if you choose to print your PayInfo payroll remittance advice at the Office, your information will be at the printer until you pick it up. I hope you will find this web site a useful benefit.
Go Paperless
If you have been taking advantage of the opportunity to view your pay advice via PayInfo, please consider taking a positive step to the next level, by eliminating the printing and mailing of a copy of your pay advice each pay period. By doing so, you will be helping QCC by saving the cost of postage and helping the earth by saving trees.
All you need to do is log onto the PayInfo website at https://www.payinfo.state.ma.us/PayInfo/Login.asp
Select the "Go Paperless" button which will automatically turn off the printing of the paper pay advice starting with the next pay period.
Of course, if there is ever a need for a paper copy of your advice, you can always print one from your computer or request one from Payroll and we will be happy to provide it for you.
Prior Period Adjustments for 03 Employees
If a prior period adjustment is necessary the supervisor must send an email to ehenault@qcc.mass.edu and cc jesposito@qcc.mass.edu requesting the employee to be paid. This email must include:
a. Employee's Name
b. Employee's Emplid
c. Cost Center Number
d. Title Number
e. Dates Worked
f. In Time and Out Time for each date worked
g. Total number of hour worked for each date
h. Supervisor's Approval
It is not necessary to wait until Friday to send prior period adjustments. The email should be sent as soon as you know an adjustment is needed.
03 Payroll Processing
As of January 1, 2009 all 03 payroll is processed biweekly on the State's HRCMS system.
If you work multiple jobs here at QCC, or if you are also employed at another Commonwealth agency, you will receive multiple checks or pay advices from HRCMS. Tax withholding and direct deposit information in HRCMS applies to ALL positions held within the State payroll system.
If you have elected to have an additional amount withheld for your federal and/or state taxes, or if you have multiple accounts for your direct deposit, we encourage you to contact the payroll office to discuss how your pay will be impacted by this change.
03 Supervisors
If you are an 03 supervisor entering time for your employees via EZ Labor, please be sure to keep copies of the employees' signed timesheets in your office for a period of no less than 7 years in accordance with the Office of the State Comptroller's policy on Payroll Record Retention.
If your 03 employees are entering their own time and you have eliminated the use of paper timesheets, the software keeps an electronic record of the employees' submission, therefore, it is not necessary to have a signed timesheet on file.
RTE INFORMATION
When it becomes necessary to amend an RTE, please remember to use the back of the new RTE form. If you need to amend an RTE that was completed on the old form, please ask Human Resources for an amendment sheet to attach to the old form.
01 Additional Compensation Forms
Please be sure to include the Employee # on all Additional Compensation forms for the 01 payroll. Your Employee # can be found on your pay advice or supervisors can request a list of their employees' from the payroll office.
Clarification
For the purpose of this newsletter:
01 payroll refers to full-time benefitted employees.
03 payroll refers to part-time non-benefitted employees.
