A- The employer retirement share no longer looks at USAS MTD figures as Classic did. In Redesign, this functionality was moved from USAS to USPSR, so we are now able to calculate these amounts based off of the actual withholding amountswithholding amounts, so the result should be more accurate.
In Redesign, Employer Retire Share can be run anytime for any date range, but presumably they would still run it on a per-month basis. It does not look at MTD amounts, but it finds the history for payrolls posted within the date range range the user selects and looks at all of the amounts posted for each the accounts, which could be for a single day, a month, 6 months, whatever. It depends solely on the Pay Date of the payrolls in question falling within the range the user enters. The accounts it looks at are affected by several factors. First of all, there is a list of object codes that it looks for are, for certificated positions: "110", "111", "112", "113", "114", "119", "120", "121", "122", "123", "124", "125","126","127","129","130","131","139"and for classified positions :
"140","141","142","143","144","149","150","151","152","153","154","155","156","157","159","160","161","169","170","171","172","179","190". It also takes into consideration the 'appliesForRetirement' flag on Pay Amounts if a specific pay account is use takes into takes into consideration any Adjustment Journals entered for the date range entered. It translates account codes using the USPS Account Filters. It also checks the 'Employer Distribution' flag that can be set on normal payroll accounts and specific pay accountspay accounts.
It It then does the calculations the same way as BRDRET (in classic) in terms of non-001 accounts being charged the exact total and all 001 accounts pro-rated over the remaining amount up to the amount the user entered. It will also look at mapping to determine the final account being charged
