Temporary Computation Split Process for Deduction Clients Using the Paper Input Process

Action Required by Deduction Clients: Share the following information with all appropriate staff working with remittances and reconciliation of payroll deductions.

Description:  Due to current deduction program system constraints, deduction clients using the paper input process will see the $1.14 per/transaction rate computed as a split on their remittance advices for the State Controller’s Office (SCO) Service Charge.  To correctly withhold the paper input service charge rate, the SCO Service Charge entry will be displayed on the remittance as $0.99 per/transaction with the additional $0.15 per/transaction being displayed as “DPA (CalHR).”  This temporary computation split process will begin with the August 2021 mid-month business month (business month remittances issue date August 16, 2021) and will remain in place until the business month ending 11/2021 issued 12/01/2021.

Population Affected:  All SCO deduction clients using the paper input process.
