How STRS
...
Days are calculated
The system first finds all checks for employees which have a pay date in the reporting month. The payroll beginning and ending dates for those checks determine the calendar date range for counting service days. This range very likely will start in the preceding month and end during the reporting month. From this information, blank working calendars are created on the system. Blank working calendars are used internally by the system and cannot be viewed.
...
The system then locates any Core>Adjustment with the Type equaling STRS Retirement Days. In order for the Adjustment days to be included on the STRS Per Pay Report, the Adjustment>Transaction Date must fall within the period beginning and end dates for payroll being reported. Normally this means the payroll Start Date and End Date: however, if the employee was added to the payroll using the additions option and a different Start Date and End Date were used and that would be the range the Adjustment would have to fall within. The Adjustments (if applicable) are added to or subtracted from the total service days from the working calendars. The total of the days from the working Calendars, Attendance and the Adjustments is the total service days that will appear on STRS Per Pay Report.For employee's that are paid on a lag, the district can use
