Retirement Pay Code to Amount Basis

The Retirement Pay Code to Amount Basis (PCAB) page establishes a crosswalk by Retirement System for the Retirement Pay Code and Amount Basis ID to the Retirement Pay Code Amount Basis ID in order to support the payroll engine in determining the Retirement Pay Rate. The payroll engine uses this page to convert an employee’s amount basis on PYCL to a retirement pay rate based on the Retirement Pay Code to Amount Basis field. For example, if the Retirement System is PERS, the Retirement Pay Code is 01, the Amount Basis is Annual and Retirement Pay Code to Amount Basis is Monthly. This would instruct the payroll engine to convert a PERS employee who has a Retirement Pay Code of 01 and an Amount Basis of Annual to a monthly Retirement Pay Rate. In order for the payroll engine to calculate a Retirement Pay Rate, there must be an entry on this table for the Employee’s Retirement System, their Amount Basis as defined by their PYCL, the Retirement Pay Code that is retrieved from the reference page lookups, and a valid Retirement Pay Code Amount Basis.
