How should a retroactive payment that covers multiple pay periods be sent to SPRS?
Multiple transactions need to be sent to SPRS, one for each month during the retroactive period for which the retroactive payment covers. For example, if a $60.00 retroactive longevity payment needs to be processed for the pay periods of 10/01/2000 – 12/31/2000 and it is to be included with the monthly payroll paid 03/01/2001, then SPRS would need to receive three transactions for the retroactive longevity.
