DOP Information Systems Communication – 8/29/2008 

What?          September 1, 2008 2.0% COLA Increase - Non-Represented  

Who?           HRMS HR and Payroll Offices  

Why?           Instructions and Agency Review  

When?         Distribute immediately  

Message:     DOP has completed updates in HRMS for the September 1, 2008 2.0% COLA salary increase for non-represented employees. The updates are effective for the September 25 pay date.

We have updated all salaried, indirectly valuated non-represented employees in accordance with the September 1, 2008 General Service Salary Schedule.  

We have updated all directly valuated employees in WMS, EMS and B job classes. These employees are listed on the Sept_1_2008_Sal_Increase.xls spreadsheet, on the Updated_EEs tab.  

We did not update the employees shown on the Exception_List tab of the spreadsheet, and the exception reason is included. These employees represent:  

§       All non-represented, directly valuated hourly employees  

§       All employees in default job classes  

·        Default Job classes are J1J1J through J5J5J. These classes were established for PAY1 to HRMS conversion purposes for employees for which there were no appropriate job classes in HRMS, such as Merit System 9 employees.  

·       You can contact the DOP Compensation Office after September 1, 2008 for assistance in setting up valid job classes for their employees currently in default job classes.  

§       All Y-rated or W-rated employees  

·        You should review your Y- and W-rated employees, and manually      update as appropriate.    

Please review the Exception_List worksheet and make updates to Infotype 0008 Basic Pay as needed. Click on the + to the left of your Personnel Area to view the data for your agency.   Important: In addition to the employees on the Exception_List tab of the spreadsheet, we will not update any employees who already have a 09/01/2008 or any other future date in the Start field on Infotype 0008 Basic Pay.  This is to avoid overriding existing agency actions. You should review and manually update these employees as appropriate.  

You will have until September 17 to review and make any additional manual updates for the September 25 pay date.

Who?             HRMS HR and Payroll Offices

Why?             Follow-Up materials for new L&I Express Filing System

When?           Distribute immediately Message:    

Labor & Industries presented information on its new online quarterly reporting system at the August 26, 2008 PPA Meeting.

Technical difficulties yesterday prevented Ginny Schenck and Elaina Brown, L&I from showing a planned “sneak peek” of the new system which goes live on September 2, 2008.

They have revised the PowerPoint from yesterday’s meeting to include screen shots of the new system. Since this goes live next week, we are providing you today with the revised slideshow as well as a handout from the meeting. The formal PPA Meeting notes, including the other presentations, will be available shortly.

DOP Information Systems Communication – 08/21/08  

What?          Employee Self Service (ESS) Portal Accounts  
Who?           HRMS HR and Payroll Offices  
Why?           E-Mail notification sent in error to some Portal users  
When?         Distribute immediately – Urgent!  

Message:     In preparation for the DOP HRMS Upgrade, Release B, a program was tested in our development environment (a working location in the system where changes are made prior to being moved to production).  This created an account and password for approximately 2,000 Portal users and an automatic e-mail notification was sent to them in error from “HRMSbasis@dop.wa.gov.”
This does not affect their production Portal accounts and security was not compromised.  

We are in the process of individually notifying everyone who received the e-mail notification with instructions to disregard. If you are contacted directly, please let them know they will receive a follow-up e-mail and they can delete the automatic notification they originally received. The mentioned accounts will be deleted. We apologize for any confusion.
