Redesign Performance Improvements
https://wiki.ssdt-ohio.org/display/SSAC/USXS+Performance+ImprovementsWith more and more districts migrating to Redesign this past year, some of the larger districts expressed concern regarding performance and if the Redesigned system can accommodate them. We have taken those inquiries very seriously and over the past several months have made vast improvements on the speed of the software. Both the USAS-R and USPS-R teams have been hard at work to increase the speed of various canned and template reports and targeting problem areas in each package that we have received frequent feedback on. The improvements are impressive with the average increase in performance speed at 70% for both applications. Just a few of the heavy hitters are listed below:
- USAS-R:
- Financial Detail Report: 94% improvement in performance
- Posting/Updating Purchase Orders: 57-70%
- Cash Reconciliation: 75%
- Appropriation Resolution Report: 99.9%
- USPS/USAS Account Sync Process: 89%
- USPS-R:
- Employer Retirement Share Report/Submission: 98% improvement in performance
- Payroll Posting: 5-10 times faster
- Unposting Payroll: 30 times faster

Implementing: The ITC is running test imports and balancing reports on the entity. The district and ITC are working to schedule dates to begin dual processing and go live.
Paralleling: The entity is inputting all production transactions into both Classic and Redesign.
Live: The entity is using Redesign for production processing; no parallel processing is being performed; Classic is available in 'read-only' mode.

Life Insurance Premium over $50,000 The cost of group-term life insurance an employer provides to an employee for coverage over $50,000 is to be included in the wages reported for the employee. This amount is subject to withholding for Social Security and Medicare, but not income tax. The cost is generally determined by using the uniform premium rates provided by the IRS. These rates set the cost of each $1000 of group-term life insurance for each month, according to the employee's age. Districts will want to make sure to include this amount in their last pay of the Calendar Year: If a district forgot to include this in their last payroll of the year, they will need to follow the instructions in the link below:
