Help Menu > Pay Period End Code Management
Pay Period End Code (PPE Code) Management was developed to allow you to correct errors on previously submitted PPE codes. Once you've logged into ECS, you can access the PPE Code Management by selecting the Online Reports button, then the Pay Period End Code Management link.

The Manage Reports screen will appear.

Manage Reports

Click the Pay Period End Code Management link. The Find Employee screen will appear.

PPE Code Management: Find Employee

To access the last reported pay period end date and code for an employee, enter the employee's Social Security Number (SSN) in the fields and click the Search button.

The next screen to appear will depend upon whether the employee selected is paid under a single frequency code or multiple frequency codes. For example, if you have an employee who is paid both quarterly and biweekly, the Pay Period End Code Management: Select Employee page will allow you to choose under which frequency you would like to manage the employee’s information.

PPE Code Management: Select Employee

Select the frequency code you wish to update and click on the Continue button.

If the employee is only paid under one frequency code, the Pay Code End Management screen will appear so that you can edit the employee's information.

PPE Code Management

The information on this screen represents the last reported information for the employee listed in the blue title bar. The title bar contains basic information for the employee: SSN, name and frequency code. Below this are two boxes, one titled Submitted in Contribution Report and the other Last Changed as of.

Under Submitted in Contribution Report, you'll find the information that was submitted on the last report on which this employee appeared. Under Last Changed as of, you'll find any previously submitted corrections made to the employee's data.

If you wish to make a change to the PPE Code as submitted on the Report of Retirement Contributions (information on the left), check the box next to Incorrect Code submitted in Contribution Report and enter the corrected information in the box below.

When you have made your update on this screen, click the Continue button.

The Pay Period End Code Management: Verification screen will appear.

If the changes displayed are correct, click on the Submit button, to be brought to the Confirmation page. If there is an error, click the Back button to be brought back to the Edit information page.

After clicking the Submit button, the Pay Period End Code Management: Confirmation page will be displayed:
