Friday Feature – Retirement Matrix Errors Built In

You know the old adage, “measure twice, cut once.” Well, I think that also applies to uploading files to retirement agencies. I mean why wait until AFTER you have generated a file to find out if there are errors?
There is no need to wait with Escape Online. We have built the STRS and PERS error matrices into the software, giving you a heads up, so you can fix those errors BEFORE you generate the file and upload it to the reporting agency.

Check it out.

When you are in the PERS (or STRS) Editor activity, you can see that there is an error.

And, if you hover over the error, you can see what the error is.

Nice!

This type of error management is also built into Payroll Processing and the PERS and STRS Import activities (for importing retirement files from offline districts). This is a great time saver!

But, wait, there’s more.

Not only does the column on the list make it easy to find and fix the error, you can actually build a list that ONLY has errors.

The Has Errors flag on the search page allows you to focus your list on only those employees that have errors, making your list shorter and easier to manage.

Just think of the time savings, especially considering there were 1,712,404 retirement (PERS and STRS) lines processed in Escape Online in 2013.
