This KIDS build modifies the PAID 4.0 decomposition routines in order to
correct a bug in the software.  The bug occurs when a part time employee
works a full 40 hour week.  In addition the employee works compensatory
time at some point in the week, thereby working over 40 hours during the 
week.  When the decomposition calculates the segments of time at the end
of the week after the total time has reached 40 hours, the employee is
incorrectly credited with overtime pay.  This patch corrects this anomoly.

 1. Fix several reports so classes that occur on last day of reporting
    period (CY or FY) and have both a date and time specified will be
    included in the output.

    instead of DIE call.

Fix decomposition problems with night (shift and tour) differentials.

Patch makes three basic changes to the package:
patch adds a new file to store overtime warnings.  When the supervisor 
approves a time card without resolving the descrepancy between approved 
overtime for a week of the pay period and overtime calculated in the 8B 
string, then a warning will be filed in the new OVERTIME WARNINGS file.  
A new option that uses List Manager will be available to Payroll so that 
they can view these warnings.  Prior to this patch the warnings appeared 
on the Pay Period Exceptions option on the payroll main menu.  Since 
even when a corrected time card was done no change is made to the 8B 
string these warnings continue to appear on the exceptions report.  
After the patch the exceptions report will first check to see if payroll 

has cleared the warning (via the new list manager option) before 
displaying it on the exceptions report.

  1.  Supervisor's choice of canceling a leave request is removed.
  2.  ListManager options to manage overtime (OT) warnings that appear 
      on Pay Period Exceptions report are added to the package.
  3.  Payroll Main Menu is reorganized by moving several options
      into a submenu on the Main Menu.

As item 2 above states, functionality to handle OT warnings is added.  The

 Fix Education Tracking Module problems:
 1. Inaccurate and Inconsistent Report Results.
 2. Class Registration Calendar Report ILLEGAL NUMBER error.
 3. Student Registration and Class Limit.
 4. Enter/Edit Ward/Unit-Location Training UNDEF error.
 5. Fix Mandatory Deficiency reports so 13th month not displayed.

Fix decompsition problems related to:
 o Sunday premium: Wage grade 2-day tour that crosses pay periods.
 o Sunday premium: GS with 'pre-scheduled' OT.
 o Sunday premium: Nurse with premium OT/CT that extends into weekend.
 o Part-Time hours when >80 hours in pay period and on compressed tour.

This patch contains a post installation routine (PRSXP47) that will set
December 24, 1998 as a Holiday Benefit day for employees who are
scheduled to work on that day.  Special instruction from VACO Payroll
Policy will be necessary in conjuction with this patch.  These
instruction will direct timekeepers to post the second half of these 
employee's tours as Holiday excused.  Nothing should be posted for the 
first half of the tour.

1.  Fix Expenditures report to include employees with only benefits.
2.  Fix 8B Edit Checks to check appropriate employees.
3.  Correct second line in routines with invalid formats or release dates.

FEGLI PROGRAM AND RATE STRUCTURE CHANGES

In order to distinguish between comp time and credit hours new 
"time remarks" will be added to the TIME REMARKS file (# 457.4).  
The new remarks will be applicable to the type of time formerly 
known as comptime, but now known as comptime/credit hours.  The 
new remarks will consist of "comp time - no remarks" and "credit 
hours".  When posting comp/credit hours the timekeeper will now be 
required to enter one of the valid remarks.

Hours will be handled will be through the use of the Compensatory
Time field.  All rules governing Comp Time will be applied to Credit
Hours, e.g., pre approval and expiration after 7 pay periods, etc.  
To make the dual use of this field more clear to employees, 
supervisors and Payroll/HR, the displayed name of the field should 
be changed to reflect the actual contents of the field, Compensatory 
Time and Credit Hours.

REQUIRE TIME REMARK CODE WHEN CU IS POSTED FOR ENTIRE DAY

Fix Education Tracking problems related to:


o  Attendance when the class name is 53 characters long.

o  Fix undefined variable when using the  Enter/Edit Ward/Unit-Location

checks were added to the Pay Period Certification portion of the software.
