REMIT - Employer Dues Remittance Entry

The REMIT - Employer Dues Remittance Entry menu option is used by affiliates to enter dues remittances that have been sent in by employers/contractors. This entry option can be used for entering work assessment dues (i.e. checkoff dues), and/or monthly counter dues. Some employers also deduct the member's monthly counter dues from their salaries, and remit both dues for the member.

Entry can be done by employer or by member name/ID.

The remittance entries are written to a temporary work file so that they can be reviewed before they are posted. Entries can be changed and/or deleted before posting.

Which Day Book

If you are NOT a local user, you are asked which day book the payment should be posted to:



   +------Post Payments to------+

 Deposit/Day Book date (MMDDYYYY)? 11081998 

The day book deposit date must be a valid date not greater than today. It can be a date up to 6 months ago. This allows for the day book to reflect the correct deposit date for those affiliates who have employers that direct deposit remittances.

Note: You may need to rerun the day book for the deposit date, after posting the remittance entries/transactions.

Receipts Wanted

You are asked if you want receipts created for the remittance entries.



   +Will Receipts Be Wanted+

Remittance Check Number

You are asked for the check number of this employer's remittance.



  Remittance check number? ____________________ 

You can enter a check number or not. This is not required.

Member Selection Method

Note: This prompt is not asked if the dues remittance type is "Monthly Dues; Auto Same Amount All".

You are asked which method you want to use for selecting members for this employer.



   +Member Selection Method+ 
   |  Employer             | 
   |  Member               | 
   +-----------------------+ 

Select "Employer" if you want the system to automatically display members for the employer. The members will be presented in the remittance order that was set up for this employer (i.e. member name, member ID, employee/clock number). If the members have dues codes, they will be presented first in the dues code order and then by the remittance order. Members will only be presented if:

they are in your local (or council for council users)
they are currently active status (good standing, arrears, transfer)
the member has been flagged with this employer ID
the member does not have a "Retired" classification

Select "Member" if you want to enter individual member names/IDs. The system will look for the member in your local or council. If the member is not found, the system displays a message that the member was not found and that the money should be entered as Other Financial Transaction (because you can not affect the dues paid thru date of a member outside your jurisdiction). If the member is found, but is not flagged with this employer ID, a message is displayed. If the member does not have an "active" status, a message showing the current status is displayed. In both cases, you will be asked if you want to continue with the entry for this member.
