Monthly Salary Management Schedule. A new feature of the Payroll schedule includes the dates when you can run GRPA and GRPS salary management reports in order to match the month's salary actuals and encumbrances to the month's G/L reports. The GRPA and GRPS reports are the only salary management reports that contain details regarding salary encumbrances.

For anyone interested in how these dates are determined or marking their calendar in advance, the reports usually need to be run between Tuesday at 6 a.m. (prior to the last weekly check date of a month) through Monday at 3 p.m. of the following week. (The schedule in November and December will usually be an exception to this rule.)

Directions for running these reports:
From the Salary Management main menu, enter RPTS in the Tran field and press [return]. From the Standard Reports menu, enter GRPA or GRPS in the Tran field and press [return]. Leave the fiscal year to set to 2000. If you're requesting the GRPA report, CNAC must be entered, but all other fields are optional. If you leave something blank in the GRP_report parameters screen, everything to the right of it must be blank (i.e. 400 405_ _ ____ ____ ____ ____ is OK; 400 4__ _5____ ____ ____ ____ will not work). This is not the case for ACT_reports. For ACT_reports, a CNAC is required, then you can enter any other combination of segments.

Paid Time Off. Paid Time Off is credited to employees on the following dates each month.
