Beginning in February UCPath transactors will be able to enter funding subject to a salary cap for a biweekly paid employee directly in the main Funding Entry and Direct Retro pages without being routed to the Salary Cap/MCOP Worksheet. The existing Salary Cap/MCOP Worksheet was designed to enforce salary cap compliance for salaried employees paid monthly and cannot correctly calculate salary cap compliance for hourly employees paid biweekly. The requirement to use the MCOP Worksheet was removed for hourly paid employees to allow transactors to complete their entries more easily.
- A new warning message on the main Funding Entry and Direct Retro pages will notify transactors when they are using a capped funding source and that they may need to manually calculate and apply the up-to-the-cap and over-the-cap amounts for each distribution line.
- An Hourly Salary Cap Calculator worksheet is available to help Funding Entry and Salary Cost Transfer Initiators determine up-to-the-cap and over-the-cap amounts. Contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center for assistance.
A UCPath enhancement has been requested to allow for the correct enforcement of salary cap compliance for biweekly paid employees using the Salary Cap/MCOP Worksheet components for funding entry and salary cost transfers. Until this long-term solution is available, transactors must continue to manually calculate the up-to-the-cap and over-the-cap amounts and can now enter this information on the main Funding Entry and Direct Retro pages.
Please contact the Controller’s Office Solution Center if you require assistance calculating biweekly salary cap amounts.
