Atrieve Payroll | Pension | In Atrieve Payroll, built CPP2 calculations into Statement History Adjustments. | ATR-19770 | |
Atrieve Payroll | Pension | In Atrieve Payroll, added a CPP2 Balancing Process, found under T4/T4A Processing. It is used to verify and/or correct the distribution of total CPP between CPP1 and CPP2 for all payrolls combined, for a given taxation year. The full CPP amount or taken amount for the year is the correct total, so this process does not affect the employee’s actual pay or CPP deduction amount. This process ensures the values reported from the full CPP that is CPP1 and CPP2 is correct, taking all history entries for the year, across all payrolls for an employee. When multiple payrolls are run simultaneously, or pay periods run out of sequence occur, the reporting the CPP2 can be skewed. This process should be run from any payroll but before the T4 processing starts for a given year. This process can be run anytime throughout the year, as needed. Please refer to the user guide for more information. | ATR-22651 | |
Atrieve Payroll | Pension | In Atrieve Payroll, made a change to accommodate changes to Saskatchewan STRP Pension Adjustments (PA). STRP changed their pension formula effective July 1, 2024. This means the PA calculation for January 1 - June 30 is the old formula using YMPE thresholds and July 1 - December 31 is the new flat rate formula. When running Pension Adjustments for 2024, users should ensure their Teacher Pension Adjustment Calculation Profile is set to 0.013 and 0.020 for to/over YMPE and not make any changes for the 0.016 flat rate as that is hard-coded. Pension Adjustments will automatically use the flat 0.016 rate for July 1 - December 31. When running pension adjustments for 2025, the profile for accrual to/over YMPE percentage can both be changed to 0.016. Because the change is only for STRP, during the pension adjustment process, users will be asked whether the deduction codes are STRP pension codes. For 2024, the report will display the calculations for the different rates. | ATR-22904 | |
Atrieve Payroll | T4/T4A | In Atrieve Payroll, for 2024 T4’s, CPP2 amount will print in box 16A. Also added the amount to print on the T4 summary and total reporting to show the same amount for box 16A. It is critical to update the print positions for 2024 T4’s per the user guide. The required changes will also be posted to the PowerSchool Community. | ATR-15978 | |
