Determine the Appropriate Code for Workday and OSPA
When processing your newly-hired employee, follow these steps to determine the appropriate codes to use in the state's personnel (Workday) and payroll (OSPA) systems.
1. Obtain status check information from PERS.
2. Determine if the position is qualifying or non-qualifying.
3. Based on the employee's PERS plan, determine the appropriate Workday code to use starting with the "Definition" column.
Once you obtain the information from the status check, use the
PERS Class Plan Worksheet to determine the appropriate codes for Workday and OSPA.
More detailed information on the status check process and other resources about PERS coding may be found
