Employment History Mass Update to Change Retirement Contribution Rate for Bargaining Unit 18; Effective July 1, 2021

Action Required by Department:  Share the following information with all human resources (HR) and accounting office employees.

Description:  Effective July 1, 2021, Safety, Tier 1 retirement members in Bargaining Unit 18 received a change to their employee retirement contribution rate. The SCO processed an EH mass update on December 14, 2021 to implement the retirement rate changes effective July 1, 2021 for eligible employees. The 505 transaction reflected the employee retirement contribution rates for impacted employees.

Departments must identify and manually process the 505 transactions for out of sequence employees, as applicable. For example, employees with an EH record reflecting an out-of-sequence status (i.e., the effective date on the most current transactions is after July 1, 2021), must be processed manually.  To assist departments in identifying these employees, SCO will provide a ViewDirect report.  Personnel Letter #21-021 indicated an estimate of December 31st, 2021 for the release of that report.  However, the report is delayed until approximately January 24th, 2022.

The SCO will release a Personnel Letter when the report is available.  Additionally, a Payroll Letter will be forthcoming regarding adjustments to impacted contributions.

Please contact the Statewide Customer Contact Center at (916) 372-7200 with any questions.
