Question:  How is a correction to a current year transaction done?

Answer:

Occasionally, it is necessary to correct a transaction that was incorrectly reported during the current year. For each Action Code used to report terminated employees on the Employee Transaction Report, ET-2533, there is a corresponding Action Code to make corrections. Refer to Chapter 8 or Chapter 23 of the WRS Administration Manual for the appropriate action codes.

• To correct only the action date or last day paid, do not include hours and earnings on the report; report only the changed dates.

• To add to or subtract from the hours and earnings reported on the original report, use the same action date and last day paid reported previously. Then, report only the difference in the correction, not the revised total. This method will only work if correcting a transaction that was reported within the current year.
