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.

Normal Code	Tax Deferred Code	Description
01	11	Normal Current Contribution
02	12	Prior Period Contribution Adjustment
03	13	Prior Period Earning Adjustment
04	--	Contribution Receivable
05	15	Retroactive Salary Adjustment
06	16	Special Compensation
07	--	Prior Period Survivor Contribution Adjustment
08	--	Employee-Paid Additional Contributions (must be established prior to July 1, 1983)
09	--	Employer-Paid Additional Contributions (must be established prior to July 1, 1983)

Service Periods and Work Schedule Codes #

Service Period (MM-YY-T), where MMYY stands for the month and year of the service period and T stands for Service Period Type.

Frequency	Number of Payroll Periods Per Year	Service Period Type Code	Description
Monthly	12	0
Semi-Monthly	24	1	First half of Month (1st through the 15th)
Semi-Monthly	24	2	Second Half of Month (16th through the end of the month)
Bi-Weekly	26	3	First report in month (ending on the 1st through the 14th)
Bi-Weekly	26	4	Second report in month (ending on the 15th through the 28th)
Bi-Weekly	26	5	Third report in month (ending after 28th)
Quadri-Weekly	13	6	First report in month (ending on the 1st through the 28th)
Quadri-Weekly	13	7	Second report in month (ending after the 28th of the month)

Work Schedule Code on the report is derived by the system using the employee’s master files and payroll information.

Pay Code	Description and Formula	Work Schedule Code
‘01’ Monthly	Full time monthly paid employee works an average of 173 hours per month. To determine the monthly average when only a weekly average is known, use the following formula (rounded to nearest whole number): (Hrs per week * Weeks per Year) divided by Months per Year	173
‘04’ Hourly	Full time Hourly paid employee works an average of 37.50 hrs/week.	375
‘09’ Special	Only used for CC09 – Special

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 – 0299	Preprocessing/Qualification
0300 – 0399	Eligible Earnings/Amounts
0600 – 0699	Premiums
0800 – 0899	Employer Contributions
1000 – 1099	Employee Deduction
1200 – 1299	Tax 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.

Note:

• Bracketed words on the following pages represent fields in the Component Rules or the Enrollment Form to be filled in. i.e. <User Calc>
  • To create any UserCalcs that may be needed, please refer to the User Calculation Tool Workbook.
• Each Component has a table to define the Rules that are available. The columns in the table are described below:
  • Rule the index number of the rule
  • Description a brief description of the rule
  • Logic what the rule will do if chosen, and what other ‘pieces’ it may need to complete it logic
  • Assoc. if there are any associated benefit components needed they are listed
  • Go to after this rule is chosen which benefit component should be evaluated next
• The standard or most commonly used rule(s) for each component is indicated by the asterisk (*) in the rule column.

Exceptions / Notes #

The sample provided previously is a fairly generic example. You and your consultant will need to discuss your specific requirements. Below is a list of some of the additional options that are available to you.

---

Earnings

If you pay prior period and/or retro earnings in the same pay components used for normal earnings then you MUST pay them in separate categories and use a UserCalc to return the value of the earnings in BC0300s.

i.e. BC0320 use Rule 01 with an Element of CAPERS EARNS, and a UserCalc that has the following logic:

10	LET	V	Norm Earns	EQ	$P	Numeric Parameter	10
20	IF	DB	PCT.Pay_Category_Code	NE	A	Regular	30	99999
30	LET	V	Norm Earns	EQ	N		0	99999
99999	RET	V	Norm Earns

On BC0323 use Rule 01 with an Element of CAPERS EARNS, and a UserCalc that has the following logic:

10	LET	V	PP Earns	EQ	$P	Numeric Parameter	10
20	IF	DB	PCT.Pay_Category_Code	NE	A	Prior Period	30	99999
30	LET	V	PP Earns	EQ	N		0	99999
99999	RET	V	PP Earns

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

10	LET	V	Retro Earns	EQ	$P	Numeric Parameter	10
20	IF	DB	PCT.Pay_Category_Code	NE	A	Retro	30	99999
30	LET	V	Retro Earns	EQ	N		0	99999
99999	RET	V	Retro Earns

---

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

00010	LET	V	Spec Amt	PERC	EC	CAPERS SPEC

B1200s – Tax Deferred should be 01 - Same as Employer

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.

Table	User Field Name	Prompt	Field Type	Fld Seq
P2K_PR_PAY_HEADERS	POSTED UPCAPERS	Posted CAPERS	Char	1

---

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).

Table	User Field Name	Prompt	Field Type	Fld Seq
P2K_BE_ENROLLMENTS	CALPERS BUYBACK	CALPERS BuyBack	Char	1

---

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.

Table	User Field Name	Prompt	Field Type	Fld Seq
P2K_CM_UNIT_DETAILS	CAPERS UNIT	CAPERS Unit	Char	1

---

ELECTED OFFICIAL

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

Table	User Field Name	Prompt	Field Type	Fld Seq
P2K_BE_COVERAGES	ELECTED OFFICIALS	CAPERS ELECTEDOFFF	Char	1

---

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’.

Table	User Field Name	Prompt	Field Type	Fld Seq
P2K_PR_PAYROLLS	CALPERS PAY CODE	CALPERS Pay Code	Char	1

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.

Interface Code	Mandatory, LOV available Only those reports of the format “CAPERS Diskette” will display. Choose from the report formats created. The format “HL$CAPERS” has been provided as a sample, but should be copied, and the copy edited, by the client before running this report. The report definition selected will determine the format of the output file (if any), as well as the columnar content of the report.
Interface Directory	Mandatory, text Must be a directory on the server for which the current user (as signed onto the client’s network) has write capability. For example, the entry ‘C:\TEMP’ accesses the ‘TEMP’ directory on the server, not the local directory for the computer terminal being used.
File Name	Mandatory, text Enter the name of the file that will be created in the interface directory specified.
Exception Level	Mandatory, LOV available A ‘trace’ report of exception messages may be produced to assist in the testing phase. If necessary, choose from 0 – 9 (highest) level of trace. Please note that this is a voluminous report and will cause very slow performance.
Trial	Mandatory, LOV available The report may be run in trial mode (Yes) or update mode (No)
User Comment	Optional, text Users may enter a comment here that will appear on the selection criteria (header page) of the report. This is useful during testing phases to identify similar reports from each other.

Interface Format #

If not already defined in the Interface Formats Definition form (IDIF), load the standard interface file format using the starter_idif_hl$capers.sql script.

Modify the standard CAPERS file requirements using the IDIF function. Rename the code from HL$CAPERS to a user-defined code.
