    |                                                                      |

    |   This member has dues paid forward for months that he will/may      | 
    |   not be charged for.  Please refund all paid forward monies or      | 
    |   move dues paid thru date to 08/2003 and leave the money            | 
    |   unapplied.                                                         | 
    |                                                                      |

The "working in trade" flag can be changed from "Yes" to "No" and "No" to "Yes", except if the class is "RETIRED" or "DISABLED50". If the class is "RETIRED" or "DISABLED50", the "working in trade" flag can NOT be changed to "Yes".

Miscellaneous Notes:

The following is some miscellaneous information about member changes.

14.2.1 Changing Member Statuses Back From ARREARS or SUSPENDED

The following describes the procedures to change a member's status back from ARREARS or SUSPENDED when there has been either a clerical error, or a dues payment was received but not posted prior to the end of the month.

Note: If you are changing the status back to goodstanding because you really did have the money before the end of month, you should change the status BEFORE you post the payment. Here is the reason why:

Assume you have a member in goodstanding effective 6/13/99. The end of month July changes the member to arrears, effective 7/31/01.

  1. If you post the payment on 8/3/01, before changing the status, the payment process will square the member back to goodstanding (assuming enough money was paid), but the effective date will be 8/3/01.
  2. If the member did not pay all the back dues but, for example, only paid for 1 month, posting the payment would not bring the member back to goodstanding. However, if that 1 month payment had been posted prior to the end of month, the member would not have gone to arrears status.
  3. If you do the status change maintenance first, you can change the member to goodstanding effective 6/13/99 which is back to where they were originally. Then, when you post the payment, the member retains the old goodstanding date.

Changing ARREARS Status Back to GOODSTANDG

If a member has been changed to ARREARS status and should not have been, perform the following steps to change the status back to GOODSTANDG:

  1. Select "CHANGE - Member Maintenance" from the menu.
  2. Enter the member name or member ID.
  3. Note in the middle of the screen the line starting with "Prev Status". (This should be GOODSTANDG if the member was put into ARREARS status by the end of month updates.)
    Next to that is the information "Prev Date". You will use this date in changing the member back to GOODSTANDG.


         Prev Status : GOODSTANDG    Prev Date: nn/nn/nnnn  UBC Pension: 
    

  4. The current status selection menu will come up with "ARREARS" highlighted. Click on "GOODSTANDG".
  5. Next, the system will ask for the current status effective date. Enter the date that was displayed as the date in "Prev Date".
  6. Press the [F12] key.
  7. The system will prompt "Change this record". Select "Yes" to change the record.

Note: If the member was put into ARREARS status and should have been, do not use this process to put the member back to GOODSTANDG. Instead, post the member's dues payment and the status will change.

Changing SUSPENDED Status Back to ARREARS

If a member was changed to SUSPENDED status and should not have been, perform the following steps to change the status back to ARREARS:

  1. Select "CHANGE - Member Maintenance" from the menu.
  2. Enter the member name or member ID.
  3. Note in the middle of the screen the line starting with "Prev Status". (This should be ARREARS if the member was put into SUSPENDED status by the end of month updates.)
    Next to that is the information "Prev Date". You will use this date in changing the member back to ARREARS.


         Prev Status : ARREARS       Prev Date: nn/nn/nnnn  UBC Pension: 
    

  4. The current status selection menu will come up with "SUSPENDED" highlighted. Click on "ARREARS".
    If the member was suspended more than 3 business days ago, you will get a message that the status cannot be changed. You must request reinstatement dispensation from the General Office.
    If the member was suspended within the 3 business days, you will be allowed to change to ARREARS status.
  5. Next, the system will ask for the current status effective date. Enter the date that was displayed as the date in "Prev Date".
  6. Press the [F12] key.
  7. The system will prompt "Change this record". Select "Yes" to change the record.
  8. NOTE: A message is displayed that tells you that you need to enter this month's dues charge. For example:


    +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
    |                                                                     | 
    |                               NOTICE                                | 
    |                                                                     | 
    |  Member was suspended and did not get charged dues for this month.  | 
    |                                                                     | 
    |  You must use Payments & Charges Entry and post the dues charge     | 
    |  for this month.                                                    | 
    |                                                                     | 
    +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
     
     
                       Press the RETURN key to continue 
    

    Press [Enter] to continue.

  9. Now, you need to use Payments/Charges Entry to enter and post the dues charge for this month.
  10. You can now enter the member's payment.
