As part of the implementation of Executive Order 59 (EO59), a new Temporary Pay Supplement (TPS) allowance plan recently replaced several Period Activity Pay options when compensating academic personnel for temporary work beyond their regular duties.
As we transition to the new compensation process, please ensure you use the TPP-Temporary Pay Supplement earning code when assigning costing allocations for Temporary Pay Supplement allowance plans, not the TPS-Temporary Supplement earning code. The TPS-Temporary Supplement earning code should only be used for Period Activity Pay. The TPP-Temporary Pay Supplement earning code ensures the costing override on the Temporary Pay Supplement allowance is correctly applied.
Please take time t to confirm that the costing overrides for your Temporary Pay Supplement allowance plans use the correct TPP earning code and make any necessary corrections in Workday. Run the “All Workers Costing Allocations – With Prompts” report and use the Earnings column to filter the report by TPS-Temporary Supplement and/or TPP-Temporary Pay Supplement. If you have a costing override for Temporary Pay Supplement allowance plans using the incorrect TPS earning, initiate a Payroll Accounting Adjustment (PAA) to ensure the payment has the correct TPP costing and work tags. For step-by-step guidance, refer to the Payroll Accounting Adjustment User Guide.
For more information about costing overrides, refer to the Assign Costing Allocations User Guide. For a complete overview of Temporary Pay Supplements and EO59, we encourage you to visit the Office of Academic Personnel’s Additional Compensation page.
