Description of Issue

What is causing the two reports to be out of balance?



Context

  • Payroll

  • Arkansas

  • APERS Report



Cause

Some employees had a deduction code for the Regular contribution and a separate deduction code for an Additional contribution.  The amounts under the Additional deduction code are not currently included in the Munis APERS report, but are included in the Vendor Deduction Report.



Resolution

Install work ticket MUN-421649 (Master Enhancement ticket) to add the ability to define Regular vs Additional on the Generate. 

Work Around: Manually enter the Employee and Employer contribution on the period records prior to creating the submission file, or manually account for the missing amounts when reconciling. 



Additional Information

APERS doesn't currently require the additional compensation amounts to be included in the file and that's why Munis doesn't currently include them.  "COMPASS computes additional Employee contributions based on the reported compensation.  If an employer wishes to include additional employee contributions that were actually deducted, COMPASS will verify those deductions are correct."
