From osps-news at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Thu Jan 8 10:47:02 2015 From: osps-news at listsmart.osl.state.or.us (Announcements from OSPS to the users of the Oregon State Payroll Application) Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 18:47:02 +0000 Subject: OSPS E-News ~ Full Time Salary Subsidy Fix Message-ID: Payroll Professionals, There was an issue with the $40 full-time employee salary subsidy processing on December Run 1. Some part-time employee's already receiving a buy down subsidy for choosing a part time medical plan also received the $40 full-time salary subsidy. The fix to correct this issue was implemented last night. That means on December Run 2 the $40 for those part-time employees will be backed out.

Many of you attended one of the 3 ACA presentations, which was presented by CHRO, HR Systems (PPDB), OSPS and PEBB, but some of you may not have had the opportunity to attend. We were able to video the last session so hopefully this will help all of you in understanding the process better.

You will notice on the first page (Instructions for Employee Direct Deposit Form) it says "Attach a void check for each checking account." The bottom section on Page 2 refers to employees opting out of using ePaystub and having an exception noted. The exception would be something the employee would work out with HR. * The 'A day in the life of an employee paycheck' PowerPoint is attached. * Payroll Services Consolidation Project (PSCP) update handout is attached. Thank you all for coming and again my apologies for those calling in. We will work on getting it right for April.

The tax id number for the State of Oregon is 93-1070707 and that is reported on all W-2's. Apparently when entering the tax id information into TurboTax their software auto fills the name with Oregon Health Authority. This is a TurboTax problem and we contacted them last Friday (Customer Service 800.446.8848) to have them fix this error. Unfortunately our efforts were not rewarded. If an employee calls in with this particular problem then our suggestion would be to have them correct the information on their tax form to match their W-2 and to contact TurboTax regarding their error.
