Our personnel policy states that benefits will not be paid to part-time, temporary, or substitute employees. It does provide that 600 hours of work in a year be the determining factor when looking at PERS eligibility. My employee was hired October 1 and became a member of PERS, eligible for contributions, on April 1. The April 1 check is subject to PERS because the employee became a member of PERS on April 1, and all salary paid to a member employee in a qualifying position is subject to contributions. When salary is paid to an employee, PERS treats it the same way the IRS and the Oregon Department of Revenue treats it.
PERS uses the date on the paycheck as the date paid.
I'm confused about which date I should use on a Notice of Employment for one of my part-time employees. The employee works all year and was originally hired two years ago. Her monthly hours increased to an average of 57 this January. The months since January have been consistently the same average number of hours. In this case, the date in a qualifying position, or qualifying date, is January 1.
