Q- What is the difference between the Audit Trail report and the Auditable Events Report?

A- The Audit Trail report will show every change made in USPS-R to any object. It will require heavy filtering until a better option is created.  The Auditable Events Report would include things like 'Rules Reloaded Event' and 'Modules Installed Event'. Different events in the system will be captured in this report. 

Q- How is a Mid Year Contract Change Calculated?

A- The system looks up how many days are remaining in the old contract (since the stop date makes it possible to determine how many days will be paid at the old rate)   

...

Since the pays paid is now greater than 1, it no longer tries to go back to the old compensation for the 'future accrued' and that same amount is posted to the new compensation's total, so the math stays the same.

Q- How is the Employer Share of Retirement Calculated?

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 amounts, so the result should be more accurate.  

...

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

Q- How does deferred dock process in the system if imported from classic.

A- On import, deferred dock amounts are converted to future pay amounts in Redesign. Also, when deleting a payroll (keeping exceptions) anything in Current (presumably including this future pay amount that was pulled in) plus anything else that may have been created in Current will go back into Future. Then pulled back in again when creating the payroll again. If they recalculate (modify and update)  the pay group for this employee, I think it will recreate any deferred dock that is necessary .

Q- What Role does a user need to be able to run an Audit Report?

A- To run the Audit Trail report a user will need MODULE_AUDIT_REPORT permission granted.
