Payroll Results Adjustment – Create New Record
Use this procedure to create a Payroll Results Adjustment (0221) infotype record. Creating a new record is necessary when an employee who transferred between agencies or is concurrently employed and will exceed the OASI maximum for the year.
Before beginning this procedure, you will need the OASI wages and deduction amounts that were accumulated at the employee’s previous agency or under their reference personnel number. For an employee who transferred to your agency, these can be found in the Payroll Results Table within Cumulated Tax Results (TCRT) the last period the employee was employed at the previous agency. If the employee requires an adjustment because they are concurrently employed with another agency, please contact the other agency to discuss/coordinate efforts and retrieve the OASI wage amounts.
Ideally this adjustment should be entered prior to the first payroll in which the employee would exceed the social security maximum to avoid over-taxing the employee. Retroactive adjustments are acceptable unless the employee crosses the payroll year. If an employee crosses a payroll year, manual adjustments will be required within PU19.
