Applicant Detail

  1. The first section is called Applicant Detail. The employee's name, last four digits of their Social Security number, and retirement effective date will automatically be pre-populated based on the employee's application.

    Enter the employee's Termination DateLast Day Worked, and Last Day Paid using the mm/dd/yyyy format.
  • Enter the Termination Date. If the employee has not provided a termination date, use the last day paid. Note: This date may or may not be well before the retirement effective date if the employee left your reporting unit but didn't retire at that time.
  • The Last Day Worked is the last day the employee earned service hours.
  • The Last Day Paid is the pay period end date of the last pay cycle.

  1. Review the Full Contract Rate/Hourly Rate For Last Year Worked field.

For DC Converted applicants, the contract rate must reflect the rate in place before after the conversion to DC on Feb. 1, 2013.

If the amount is not correct, enter the correct hourly rate or full contract rate for this employee.

To avoid common errors, please note the following:

  • If the employee earned an hourly rate, be sure to check the box next to the hourly rate.
  • If the employee had more than one hourly rate, calculate and enter the average hourly rate.

If the employee did not work the full school fiscal year, check the last reported Detail 2 (DTL2) record before Feb. 1, 2013, for a prorated contract amount. If no amount is reported, enter the full contract amount.

Pending TDP

  1. The Pending TDP section appears only if the applicant has an open, active tax-deferred payment (TDP) agreement. For each pay period listed, enter the amount you intend to report to ORS on your regular payroll reports for this employee. Be sure to include any one-time payments. If the employee is not paying off the TDP agreement, enter 0 (zero) in the TDP Amount field.

Reportable and nonreportable wages

  1. The next section is called Reportable Wages Above the Base Rate. Enter the amount of any reportable wages that were paid above the base pay rate in fiscal year 2013 (July 1, 2012, through Feb. 1, 2013, the effective start date of the DC Converted retirement plan). In addition, enter the wage amount paid for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year (Feb. 1, 2013, through June 30, 2013, the wages earned after converting to the Defined Contribution plan). Add all amounts together for one total amount for the Excess Amount field. If the total reportable wages above the base rate is of more than one type, list the individual payment amounts and the explanation for each one in the Comments text box provided.

For example: A member received $500 in merit pay, earned $344.50 in overtime pay, and the remainder of their DC wages totaled $2,450.00. In the comment box enter:

Merit Pay: $500.00
Overtime Pay: $344.50
DC Wages: $2,450.00

 Reportable Above Base

  1. In the Unreportable Wages section, enter any of the listed types of unreportable (nonreportable) wages that were reported on a DTL2 record before the first full pay period with a begin date on or after Feb. 1, 2013. See section 4.03: Nonreportable compensation.

If you enter an amount for any of the nonreportable compensation types, you will receive a message after you submit the FPD advising you to create a negative adjustment for any pay period that included unreportable compensation.

If you enter no amounts on any line, check the box at the bottom of the section. (The FPD cannot be successfully submitted without something in this section.)

  Unreportable Wages

  1. The next section is called Carryover (Usually Summer Spread). Enter wages paid after June 30 for service performed before July 1 for each listed fiscal year-end date listed.

Carryover wages can be either summer spread wages (Wage Code 08) or trailing wages, which refers to regular wages and hours reported with a begin date before July 1 and paid in July, using Wage Codes 01, 05, 11, or 25. Report both types of carryover wages here.
