\t\t\t\tAs we have discussed, we recommend you have active conversations with your departments<\/strong>, starting in March or so, regarding whether or not a particular person (working less than 12 months) will be returning in the fall. Continued employment in the fall position has to be in a benefits-eligible position in order for the employee to get summer SGIP and benefit bridging.<\/p>\n

After receiving that information, ensure that your employees are in the proper Deduct Code in BPP<\/strong>. This often means “1” so that a letter is produced for the employee (which is placed in HRConnect) and directs the payroll system to take premiums for the summer out of the May paycheck(s). Work with your payroll department to identify people who may not have enough money in a May paycheck to cover all premiums.<\/p>\n

Very important note on summer terminations<\/strong> – It happens that sometimes a person notifies the department in the summer that they are not returning, or the job will not exist in the fall. The department processes an EPA to terminate the employee\u00a0(sometimes this doesn’t happen very timely-see\u00a0SAP below for how TAMU is handling the timeliness issue).<\/p>\n

When the EPA is processed, the termination date (101 screen) will be the last day they were in an active appointment (i.e. 5\/31) and that is the date that is automatically populated as the stop date for insurance (106 screen).<\/p>\n
