FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM - FRS #

FRS or ‘Florida Retirement System’ is responsible for administering the Florida Retirement System.
Specialized benefit components and user fields are provided that may be set up to ensure that the report and interface file are created correctly.

FRS Work Periods #

The Work Periods (‘WP’) is a column on the FRS report that defines the service credit for retirement purposes. 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 (work periods) used at each organization.

Work Period	Description
12	Normal Current Contribution
12	Prior Period Contribution Adjustment
21	Lump Sum Contributions
88	Workers’ Compensation Contributions

FRS 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 pay components and pay elements.

Pay Components - IPPC #

You will need to create a total of 9 pay components for FRS:

B0360	FRS Reg Earns	PC Usage: 9999
B0361	FRS Lump Earns	PC Usage: 9999
B0363	FRS PP Earns	PC Usage: 9999
B0368	FRS WC Earns	PC Usage: 9999
B0380	FRS Lv Hrs	PC Usage: 9999
B0840	FRS Reg ER	PC Usage: 13
B0841	FRS Lump ER	PC Usage: 13
B0843	FRS PP ER	PC Usage: 13
B0848	FRS WC ER	PC Usage: 13

Pay Elements - IPPE #

You will need to create a total of 5 pay elements for FRS:

B0320	FRS Reg Earns	All earnings PC that make up Regular Earnings
B0321	FRS Lump Earns	All earnings PC that make up Lump Sum Leave Pay Earnings
B0323	FRS PP Earns	All earnings PC that make up Prior Period Earnings
B0328	FRS WC Earns	All earnings PC that make up Workers’ Compensation Earnings
B0380	FRS Lv Hrs	All earnings PC that make up Lump Sum Leave Pay Hours

Benefit Plan Types - IBPT #

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

Benefit Plans #

Benefit components are used to calculate and store the values for FRS. These values must be qualified, for the report, by which type of work period. 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’s must be defined.

---

Eligible Earnings (Salary)

Use Benefit Components B0320 through B0366 to define regular earnings, prior period earning adjustments, lump sum earnings, and workers’ compensation earnings.
These amounts must be stored in a pay component and will be seen on the Benefits Enrollment form and the FRS report.

---

Lump Sum Leave Pay Hours

Use Benefit Component B0380 to determine this amount. This amount should be from an element that contains all hour pay components to be reported as part of the Lump Sum hours.

---

Employer Contribution Amount

Use Benefit Component B0800 through B0849 to set up the employer contribution amount.

This amount will appear only in the Benefit Enrollment form, but the rates defined will be used to calculate the amount for the 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.

---

Coverage Rates

The 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 Work Period Code attached, indicated as WP##. Components that represent values on the FRS 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
0800 – 0899	Employer Contributions

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. %

Process FRS #

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

The report can be produced only after the FRS 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 FRS Pay Components with values 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 FRS report using the required format.

Function RPFRS produces the FRS report and optionally the associated file for transmission.

The output file will contain exactly what is shown on the report.
