Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, are representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess.
- Agency Payroll Processor: Agency role responsible for ensuring employee's pay is accurate with the ability to view, enter, and update transactions.
- BOSP Year End Processor: BOSP role responsible for managing year end processes with the ability to run Year End processes, generate reports and forms.
- DFS Print Room Operations: DFS role responsible for printing and distribution of warrants, W-2s and W-2Cs.
- Employee: Employee role with access to view earnings statements, W-2 and W-2c.
Business Process Flows Details
The tables below describe steps in each business subprocess as reflected on the Business Process Flow Diagrams. The tables also reflect information associated with each step describing the intent of the specific process. Florida PALM screenshots are included within the sections to allow connections to be made from specific business subprocess steps to screens within Florida PALM. This information should be read in conjunction with the Business Process Flow Diagrams.
Process Step ID | Process Step Title | Description of Process |
|---|---|---|
1 | Load W-2c Process | A nightly automated process will run, identify, and load any prior calendar year activity into the W-2c processing tables. |
2 | Create and Review W-2c Audit Report and Prior Year Adjustment Report | BOSP Year End Processor will run the W-2c Audit process that generates the W-2c Audit Report and the custom Prior year Adjustment Report to identify possible payroll adjustments requiring a W-2c. The processor will review the reports to validate amounts and personal data on loaded W-2c amounts. If W-2c amounts are not correct, continue to step 3. If W-2c amounts are correct, but personal data is not correct, continue to step 5. If W-2c amounts and personal data are correct, continue to step 8. |
3 | Remove W-2c and Notify Agency | If the amounts on the W-2c are not correct, the BOSP Year End Processor removes the W-2c from the batch and notifies the agency. |
4 | Process Payroll Correction | Agency Payroll Processor will submit an off-cycle payroll, as described in 100.4.1 Off-Cycle Processing, to correct the error and the prior year correction would be picked up on the next W-2c load process. |
5 | Update W-2c Personal Data | If employee personal data on the W-2c is incorrect, the BOSP Year End Processor will update the information in Florida PALM prior to processing the W-2c. |

10 | Review W-2c PDF File | BOSP Year End Processor will review the W-2c PDF file for accuracy. If W-2c’s are correct, continue to step 11. If a W-2c is not correct, the BOSP Year End Processor will need to review that W-2c again and confirm if the amounts and personal data on the W-2c are correct. They will have to run the process (step 8) again to create the corrected W-2c. |
11 | Create W-2c for Online View | BOSP Year End Processor will run the process to create the W-2cs for online viewing. |
12 | Notify Employee W-2c Available Online | BOSP Year End Processor will run the process to notify the employees, via email, that their W-2c’s are available for online view. If an email returns due to an invalid email address, continue to step 14. If it is not returned, continue to step 13. |
13 | View Online W-2c | Employees can view their W-2c online in Florida PALM ePay. |
14 | Employee Notification Mailed | If the email notifying the employee that their W-2c is available for online view returns undeliverable, the BOSP Year End Processor mails a letter to the employee notifying them how to access or receive their W-2c. |
15 | Employee Online Election Removed | If the email notifying the employee that their W-2c is available for online view returns undeliverable, the BOSP Year End Processor will remove that employee from the W-2c electronic notice election. |
