CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM- CAPERS #

CAPERS or ‘California Public Employees' Retirement System’ is responsible for administering the California Public Employees' Retirement Law, the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act, and the State Employees' Dental Care Act, all of which is part of the California Government Code.

Specialized Benefit Components (BC) and user fields are provided that may be set up to ensure that the report and interface file are created correctly.

CAPERS Contribution Codes #

The Contribution Code (‘CC’) is a column on the CAPERS report that defines the type of contribution being submitted. For each amount submitted, a code must be provided. The meaning of the code is shown in the table below. Benefit Components are used to define the codes (types of contributions) used at each organization.

CAPERS Setup #

To create the required report and interface file users must use specific benefit components within a specific plan type, create user fields (if needed) and set up the required Interface Format form (IDIF).

Benefit Plan Types - IBPT #

All CAPERS benefit plans must be setup with a ‘CAPERS’ benefit plan type.
If this is spelled differently, the program will not work.

Benefit Plans - IBPN #

Benefit Components are used to calculate and store the values for CAPERS. These values must be qualified, for the report by what type of contribution they represent (which Contribution Code). Users must analyze the possible types of contributions made at their site, and set up the appropriate Benefit Component as described.
In the benefits components in the next section, the result of the component must be stored into a pay component where indicated. This may be zero but it must be stored. Define the appropriate pay component ('PC Code' field), on each Benefit Component, and ensure that the 'action' is "Store Line and Enroll".
Regular Enrollment Dates
Use Benefit Components B0020 through B0270 to define the Benefit Enrollment start and end dates. As with all Benefit Plans these BC must be defined.
Member Earnings
Use Benefit Components B0320 through B0366 to define Regular Member Earnings, Prior Period Earning Adjustments, Retroactive Salary Adjustments, and Special Compensation Amounts.
The CAPERS ‘Member Earnings’ amount is the regular Member Earning plus the Contribution Amount required for that CAPERS Coverage group.

Total Employee and Employer Contributions (Premium Amount)
This ‘Premium Amount’ is not required by the CAPERS system; it may be necessary to use/set up the ‘Premium Amount’ if it is required, by the individual implementation, to include it in the Employee or Employer contribution amount.
Use Benefit Components B0600 through B0680 to define this amount, if needed.
If used, the premium rate should be entered as a percentage, i.e. 14.50% would be entered as 14.5000.
Survivor Contribution
This is the amount of contribution a member pays for the 1959 Survivor Benefit. If a member has this coverage, the member contributes the following amounts based on the reporting frequency.
Monthly $2.00
Semi-Monthly $1.00
Bi-weekly $0.93
Quadri-weekly $1.86
Use Benefit Component B0695 to enter this amount. This amount can be entered either through the benefit component value, a UserCalc, or through the member’s enrollment record.
Employer Contribution Amount
Use Benefit Component B0800 through B0849 to set up the Employer Contribution Amount.
This amount will appear only in the CAPERS Contribution Summary Report.
Enter the Employer Contribution Rate as a percentage, i.e. 8.25% would be entered as 8.2500.
This amount can be set up as either ‘Same as Premium Amount’, ‘Premium Amount Less Employee Contribution’, or as ‘Employer Percentage on Member Earnings’.
Additional Employer Contribution Amounts can only be derived using a pay element.
Member Contributions (Employee Paid Amount)
Use Benefit Component B1000 through B1048 to set up the Member Contributions.
This amount will appear on the CAPERS report as the Normal Member Contribution Amount.
Enter the Member Contribution Rate as a percentage, i.e. 7.00% would be entered as 7.0000.
This amount can be derived using the rules ‘Same as Premium Amount’, ‘Premium Amount Less Employer Contribution’, or as ‘Employee Percentage on Member Earnings’.
Additional Employee Contribution Amounts can only be derived using a Pay Element.
Special Setup Situation for Contribution Receivables (Code ‘04’/’14’)
This special Benefit Component Coverage setup applies only to installations where an employee is enrolled in a CAPERS Coverage who has Contribution Receivable that is contrary to the Normal Situation.
If this situation arises, then the Contribution Receivable amount (B0624) should be setup as computed from all output Pay Components (as stored in B1044, and/or B1274).
Also the ‘Component Action’ in B1044, and/or B1274 should not be ‘Stored in the Benefit Lines’.
This allows the Contribution Receivable amount (as it is entered through a Sundry Line), to be retained without overriding it.
Tax Deferred Amount
Use Benefit Components B1270 through B1276 to set up the Tax Deferred Amount. This amount can be derived as either ‘Same as Employee Amount’, or ‘Same as Employer Amount’.
There is no Tax Deferred Amount for Contribution Codes 07, 08, and 09.
Coverage Rates
The Employee Deduction Rate and Employer Contribution Rate must be entered through the IBPN screen (Rate step 1; Up to limit 999,999).

List of Benefit Components #

Most Benefit Components have an implied Contribution Code attached, indicated as CC##. Components that represent values on the CAPERS report also require an output Pay Component to store the calculated value for later reporting.

The Benefit Components provided in the following pages have been grouped based on their purpose under the following subheadings:
0010 – 0299Preprocessing/Qualification
0300 – 0399Eligible Earnings/Amounts
0600 – 0699Premiums
0800 – 0899Employer Contributions
1000 – 1099Employee Deduction
1200 – 1299Tax Deferred Amounts

Although the sheer number of options may seem daunting, not all components are required for every plan. They are provided to allow complete versatility when defining policies.

On BC0325 use Rule 01 with an element of CAPERS EARNS, and a UserCalc that has the following logic:

20 IF DB PCT.Pay_Category_Code NE A Retro 30 99999

Survivor Amount
If the Contribution Category is 03 – Prior Period, you need to determine if a Survivor amount is to be calculated.

If you are paying in the same Pay Header as Normal/Regular Earnings then the 07-Contribution Components should be established to come up with 0 (no element needed on B0627), as the B0695 will be the one amount paid for the period.

If, however, you are paying in a different pay header/category and want a Survivor amount calculated you do NOT need the BC for CC07 as B0695 will be used if there is no B0687.


EPMC – Employer Paid Member Contribution
The Employer Paid Tax Deferred amount needs to be calculated as special earnings and reported as additional income.

The ER Contribution Rate on the Rates Tab needs to be completed.

B0326 – Special Earnings UC Rule 00 instead of Rule 01

User Fields - IMUF #

There is one mandatory and four optional user fields that need to be set up.


POSTED UPCAPERS
This user field is MANDATORY. CAPERS cannot operate without adding this user field. When the UPCAPERS program is run in update mode (Trial = ‘N’), this user field is used to ‘stamp’ each pay run as ‘Processed by CAPERS’. This prevents pay runs from being processed twice.
This is a SYSTEM updated User Field.

CALPERS BUYBACK
The ‘CALPERS’ buyback (contribution receivable) situation for an employee may be contrary to the normal situation in the CALPERS coverage in which the employee is enrolled. If this is the case, then a user field ‘CALPERS BUYBACK’ must be setup for this employee in the ENROLLMENTS table or all amounts calculated for the prior period will be under the CC04.
This is a USER updated user field. Enter whether the buyback is employee paid (enter - 04), or employer paid (enter – 14 – Tax Deferred).
TableUser Field NamePromptField TypeFld Seq

CAPERS UNIT
The ‘CAPERS’ unit code is established with the user field ‘CAPERS UNIT’. It can be defined on any of the P2K_HR_EMPLOYMENTS, P2K_CM_UNIT_DETAILS, or P2K_CM_DEPARTMENT_DETAILS tables.
The unit code is picked up for each employee separately in the order of employment, department and then unit. Normally, you would decide which table best describes the CAPERS unit grouping and set up the CAPERS units as a user field at that level. If either unit or department does not apply to your situation then you can always define it separately for each employee.
This is a USER updated user field. If this user field does not exist then '000' is used.

The Elected Officials user field will allow user to indicate which employees are 'elected officials' who need to be reported monthly and not biweekly.

CALPERS PAY CODE
The ‘CALPERS’ pay code is a required reporting column that determines the basis of the pay rate. UPCAPERS supports ONLY 01-Monthly and 04-Hourly.
UPCAPERS assumes that WEEKLY/BIWEEKLY paid employees are to be reported as ‘Hourly’, and that MONTHLY/SEMI-MONTHLY employees are to be reported as ‘Monthly’.
Attaching a user field to the ‘Payrolls’ table can change this behavior. The user field must be named ‘CALPERS PAY CODE’ and contain a value of either ‘01’ OR ‘04’.

Process California PERS #

This update will process all bond plans, and produce a flat file to be remitted.

CAPERS reports are due within 30 calendar days after the close of a service period. The report can be produced only after the CAPERS plan/coverages are set up, employees properly enrolled, and payrolls have been closed. At payroll time, the benefit routine will be invoked which populates the CAPERS pay components with values that are derived from pay components/elements as defined in the benefit components. Reporting will be done after the Pay closes; it will extract the numbers from the Benefit Components and produce the CAPERS report using the required format.

Function UPCAPERS produces the CAPERS report and optionally the associated file for transmission. The function must be executed separately for each payroll due to the different processing frequencies. When run in update mode (Trial = ‘N’), the pay will be marked as ‘processed’, by the program, and will not be processed again in later UPCAPERS runs.

The output file will contain exactly what is shown on the report. Do not execute the function in update mode before reviewing the report carefully, and creating the file for transmission.

Unit CodePolicy NumberThe Unit Code is obtained from a ‘User Field’ named ‘CAPERS UNIT’. If units are used, then attach this User field to each ‘Unit Detail’. If the User Field cannot be located, then unit code ‘000’ is used.
Those clients not using Unit Code require no setup here at all, and the default of ‘000’ will always be used.
