Article summary

Business Process Overview

In Florida PALM, off-cycle payroll is defined as payroll processing that occurs outside of the regularly scheduled major payrolls designated by the State of Florida. 

An online check is a type of off-cycle payment that can generate a one-time check the same day as it is entered into Florida PALM. These payments should be requested by agencies directly to BOSP. If BOSP determines that the agency request is critical, a same day warrant can be generated using this process.

Business Process Flow for 100.4.3 Online Check

Business Roles

The Business Process Flow Diagrams use horizontal swim lanes to depict where activities are performed by different parties or systems. 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. 

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.

Description of Process

1

Receive Online Check Request from Agency

BOSP Online Check Processor receives a request for an online check (same-day payment) from an agency.


2

Request Online Check Approval

BOSP Online Check Processor requests approval to create and generate an online check. The approval process occurs outside of Florida PALM.

The process to generate an online check ends with a denial. If the request is approved, continue to step 3.

Enter Online Check

Once the request for an online check has been approved, the BOSP Online Check Processor will enter the required information on the Florida PALM online check page.


4

Calculate Online Check

BOSP Online Check Processor will save and calculate the online check and review calculation results.


5

Review Payroll Error Messages

BOSP Online Check Processor will review payroll error messages to see if the calculation of the online check generated any errors. If there are no errors present, continue to step 7. If there are errors present, continue to step 6.


6

Resolve Errors

BOSP Online Check Processor will be responsible for resolving any errors generated by calculating the online check. If the error cannot be resolved by BOSP, the processor can collaborate with the requesting agency to enter the appropriate information to resolve the error. Once the error has been resolved, the BOSP Online Check Processor should calculate the online check again to ensure the calculation does not produce another error (step 5).


7

Confirm and Print Online Check

If no errors are present, the BOSP Online Check Processor can confirm and print the online check. At this point, the online check calculation has been finalized, employee balances are updated, and warrant and advice numbers are assigned.

The process to record payments for bank reconciliation and send the positive pay file to the bank is detailed in 100.3.6 Distribute Payroll Warrants. Online checks will not be present on the Outbound Payroll Warrant Print Extract as shown on 100.3.6. The online check data will also follow 100.7.2 Generate Payroll Accounting Distributions.


8

Distribute Online Check

DFS Print Room Operations will print and deliver warrants to BOSP for special handling.

Accounting Events

Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control ledgers, and the General ledger (Actuals).

  • Source Module accounting entries require user input (U) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated (S) system offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
  • The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., appropriation, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
  • After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.

The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
