Fatal

ER6004

Message:
Total number of Days Paid is greater than zero for an Employment Type of Extra Duty.

Resolution:
Either the Employment Type or the Days Paid must be corrected. If none of the member’s duties required licensure, then the Days Paid must be changed to zero since TRS cannot award service credit for non-licensed work. If the member performed duties that required licensure, the Employment Type must be changed. Please refer to Chapter 5 of the TRS Employer Guide for a definition of employment types.

ER5014

Message:
Payment Reason is Summer School Earnings for a member with an Employment Type of Extra Duty.

Resolution:
A correction to the Payment Reason and/or Employment Type is required. If the member only taught summer school, the Employment Type must be corrected to Part-Time Non-Contractual (H). For an employment type of H, only extra duties that require licensure are reportable. If the member performed only extra duties that did not require licensure and was employed as a contractual teacher (F or P Employment Type) at another TRS-covered employer, correct the Payment Reason to BS – Base Salary.

Warning

ER6007

Message:
Employment Type is Full-Time or Part-Time Contractual and reported days paid appear to be greater than the number of possible workdays based on the district’s payroll frequency.

Resolution:
Based on the district’s payroll frequency, the reported Days Paid appear to be more than the possible workdays in the pay period. Days Paid are greater than five for a weekly payroll frequency. Days Paid are greater than 10 for a bi-weekly payroll frequency. Days Paid are greater than 12 for a semi-monthly payroll frequency. Days Paid are greater than 23 for a monthly payroll frequency. Review the reported days paid and payroll frequency and make any necessary corrections. If the days paid and payroll frequency are correctly reported, certify that the reported information is correct.

ER4016

Message:
Employment Type has been reported as Extra Duty, however, the member has not been reported as a Full Time or Part-Time Contractual Employment Type with another TRS-covered employer this fiscal year.

Resolution:
If the member performed only extra duties not requiring licensure, ensure he/she was employed at another TRS-covered employer as a Full Time (F) or Part-Time Contractual (P) member. If the member has been correctly reported because he/she worked as a F or P Employment Type at another employer, confirm the reported information is correct. If the member performed work that required licensure, correct the Employment Type, Days Paid, etc. Refer to Chapter 5 of the TRS Employer Guide for additional information regarding Employment Types.

Informational

ER6023

Message:
This member has exceeded 500 hours of TRS covered post-retirement employment and is approaching his/her limit of 600 hours per school year.

Resolution:
The member is approaching the 600-hour post-retirement employment limitation. If the annuitant exceeds the post-retirement employment limitation of 600 hours, he/she will become an active member and will be reportable on the following pay period.

Work that would earn service credit for active members is subject to the post-retirement employment limitations for annuitants. All time that a teacher or administrator is required to be present for licensed duties is subject to the limitations. For teachers, this includes preparation periods and time before, between and after classes. For administrators, this includes all time that is required to be spent on administrative duties, such as attendance at board meetings and contract negotiations. Paid sick, personal leave and vacation are subject to the limitations. Five hours is the maximum number of hours per day applied toward the limit, regardless of the actual number of hours worked. On days in which the employment is less than five hours, the actual time worked should be counted.
