Contributions for leaves of absence are reported through the annual Member Data Collection (MDC); however if the MDC has already been finalized, you must complete an Ad Hoc Remittance via the Remittance process to report these contributions.

Your Remittance Declaration must include the total member and employer contributions as well as the following member level information:

  • Selection of the leave of absence period for which contributions will apply
  • Contribution year
  • Total weeks paid
  • Low contribution amounts
  • High contribution amounts, if applicable
  • % of Normalized Earnings
  • Amended PA amount, if applicable

The member information can be reported by manual entry only and will be used to update the member’s record.

Contributions and weeks paid through the lump sum remittance process should be excluded when reporting annual data (for example, MDC reporting, or retirement final data).  Once the lump sum data has been reported, it does not need to be reported again.

Step-by-step instructions on how to create an Ad Hoc Remittance for a Lump Sum contribution follows. Refer to the corresponding screenshots to process this transaction.

For full time members (full-time for the entire year) enter 100%. 

For Part Time Members to calculate the percent of normal earnings: 

  • Total the hours worked during the 10 week period prior to the leave commencement and divide by 10, then
  • Divide by the weekly Standard Full-Time hours, then
  • Multiply by 100 

Formula:  (Total hours member worked during 10 weeks /10) / (weekly standard full-time hours) x 100

Example: Member worked a total of 150 hours during the 10 weeks prior to the leave, standard weekly full time hours in this example are 37.5.  

  • (150/10) / 37.5 x 100 = 40% of normal earnings
