  15. Errors might include employees that require a manual change to their payroll record to update

    part-time employee and a manual correction is required in Colleague.

  16. To review the employee record: a) open the BNDS screen in Colleague and view the current
    retirement plan CODE, i.e.: (RAPP, ROPA) b) determine if an adjustment is needed. If a change is
    needed: c) make the correction to update the new contribution shown on the XTFB report. Such
    as changing the % from 2% to 6%. d) click on the BNDS code Ex: RAPP, from the menu select
    CSTS – Person’s Costs Summary) e) Add Person’s Benefit Cost -this creates a new cost record
    with the current date where you can assign the new percentage of 6% to update the record. You
    will enter the new start date and the new percentage rate and save the change. This will update
    the report to show the changed record and will update the contribution in payroll. If there are
    any questions, please contact Mike Karr or Valpo IT.

    Ellucian colleague and enter the code XTFB again in the form search box.
