UPB - Initiating a Prior Underpayment Adjustment (PUA) for Retroactive Illinois COVID-19 Paid Administrative Leave – Bi-weekly Exempt Employee

If an employee was docked for scheduled work or was on unpaid leave due to a qualifying COVID-19 reason, retroactively restore pay to that employee by submitting a PUA.

See COVID-19 Restored/Retroactive Leave or contact your Human Resources office for more information.

To restore missed pay, complete the following steps:

  1. Employee must complete and submit an Employee Certification Form for approval by HR.
  2. Attach the final approval page of the completed and approved form in PDF format to the HR Front End (HRFE) through an Administrative (ADM) transaction. Use the document type Leave of Absence with the label COVID RETRO.
  3. Initiate a PUA using the adjustment reason Agreement/Settlement to get the employee the missed pay. Use the CO7 – COVID Retro Unpaid Salary or RPC – Retro Pay COVID 1/3 Reg Rate earn code. See instructions below.
    NOTE: If the Employee Certification Form approval page is not attached through a HRFE ADM transaction with the document type of Leave of Absence – COVID RETRO, the PUA will be returned.
