State of North Carolina Office of the State Controller

M E M O R A N D U M NO. PR2001-014
 

Our office did not receive notification concerning the JULY MATCHING RETIREMENT PERCENTAGES in time for us to put them into our system for the Mid-Month Payrolls.  The percentages have been used for the Monthly Payroll Cycles.  Adjustments will be made to correct for the Mid-Month Cycles and second C&R Cycle, as soon as possible.  Please find listed below the new matching rates for July.

MATCHING RETIREMENT RATES
 

The matching retirement percentages are effective for the month of July.  These percentages may or may not change again.  Once the Budget has been approved, we will provide notification concerning any new matching retirement percentage changes.
 

NCFLEX DEDUCTION EXCEPTIONS

In the past, the plan administrator for three FLEXIBLE BENEFIT PLANS The American Dental Plan(447), Unum AD&D Plan(449) and The Superior Vision Plan (450) each forwarded their monthly file containing Flex Plan Deductions to our office so that the deductions could be included in the next months payroll transmittal.  After each plan administrator sent their file to our office,  the deduction exceptions which the plan administrators were unable to provide on their files would be forwarded to our office to the attention of Carol Stephenson.  Ms. Stephenson then either faxed or mailed the deduction exceptions to the attention of the payroll section at each location.  In order to speed up this process, we have asked that the plan administrator of each of the above three plans send their deduction exception forms directly to your attention.
Previously, we have asked that your agency not make any changes for these plans unless your office received notification from our office.  We now ask that your office make any changes received directly from the previously mentioned plan administrators for deduction codes 447, 449 and 450.
 

X/PTR CHANGES

We have added a new report to X/PTR for your agency.  The name of the report is OSCPX BANK DEPOSIT- TRANSMISSION.  This report will provide you with a listing of exactly what was sent to the banking system for the monthly Direct Deposit.

In the past , we have printed and mailed the report OSCPX CASH REQUISITION/ FUND to your agency.  Effective August 1, 2001 this report will no longer be printed and mailed from our office.  Your agency will be able to access and print this report through X/PTR as soon as we produce it.
