To assist with the recording of TOC’s seniority we have developed the TOCS Seniority Storage Bank Recalculation process.

The TOCS SENIORITY STORAGE BANK RECALCULATION process can be used to calculate or recalculate the storage bank seniority for TOCS. This process requires an accrual storage bank be defined and attached to the applicable employees. The seniority storage bank would be defined to accumulate 100% of the hours (days) from just the pay codes applicable to the TOCS scale rate, the regular, top-up and scale rate pay codes. This process identifies the actual dates within a pay period where the employee worked at scale from the timesheet entries. These eligible dates may be paid on the scale pay code or with the combined regular and TOC top up pay codes. The storage bank per period is then calculated based on the days available for the eligible dates. The storage bank is details per period are adjusted based on the recalculation and the employee’s master bank balance being update as well.

The storage bank table code used for this process may be suspended (bank cycle = *) to omit this bank from being processed by the payroll stream. This process will ignore the global suspended cycle while at the same time still obeying the employee’s specific bank cycle settings.

An option is also available to update a selected PRM User Defined field setup for the recording of TOCS Seniority. This would need to be setup in advance under the PRM system. The PRM TOCS Seniority field is refreshed with the employee’s final storage bank balance at the end of the recalculation process. A feature also allows you to convert the employee’s final storage bank balance before applying the bank balance to the PRM TOC Seniority field. This feature could be used, for example, to convert the bank balance from days to year.

If you are handling your TOCS seniority in this manner and would find this process helpful, you can have this process installed on your system by contacting Susan Vernon at TSC.
