Steps: Set Up Federal Payment Award Reporting for SF 50 / 52

Steps: Set Up Federal Payment Award Reporting for SF 50 / 52

Configure the
Personnel Action Request
 business process as a subprocess of these business processes:
  • Request Compensation Change
    .
  • Request One Time Payment
    .
See Steps: Configure the Personnel Action Request Business Process.
You can tie allowance plans and one-time payment plans in Workday to U.S. federal payment types to support reporting award amounts correctly on SF 50 / SF 52, and on the EHRI integration. You can then set up condition rules that tell Workday what compensation information values to populate blocks 12 and/or 20 in SF 50 / SF 52 with when a worker has a compensation event that triggers a Personnel Action Request (PAR), and the plan(s) assigned to that compensation event are mapped to a federal payment type.
When you map plans to federal payment types, configure condition rules, and run a PAR-enabled compensation event, Workday retrieves the values of these payments from the PAR and sends them to the Office of Personnel Management during a scheduled EHRI run. See Reference: OPM Connector: EHRI Status Integration Fields and Reference: OPM Connector: EHRI Dynamic Integration Fields.
  1. In the
    Nature of Actions
     section, navigate to the
    Pay Changes and Miscellaneous Changes
     tab. Configure the Nature of Action (NOA) codes that correspond with U.S. federal payment types. In the
    Configure Personnel Action Request Blocks to Show Empty
     column, add the blocks you want to display as empty when you run a PAR event for that particular NOA.
When
Request Compensation Change
 or
Request One Time Payment
 triggers a
Personnel Action Request
 event, the security group configured to receive the PAR initiation task receives a
My Tasks
 item to review the worker's compensation update.
The
My Tasks
 item populates blocks 12 and/or 20 in the
Details
 section based on the condition rules met, and displays configured blocks as empty after the user:
  1. Selects the NOA code that corresponds with the federal payment type the worker received. Example: if the worker received a payment of the Relocation Incentive federal payment type, the user would enter
    816
     in the appropriate
    Nature of Action
     field.
  2. Refreshes the event view. To refresh the event view, select
    Save for Later
    , then reopen the
    My Tasks
     item.
The correct PAR values are available for the next scheduled EHRI integration run.
