If you are a UKG Ready user and an employee was not paid in the current pay period, a field override is needed to provide the Payroll Date. detamoov has provided custom fields that take the existing dates from the source file and allow you to apply them to the missing fields.
To provide the override custom fields, locate the Action - Transform step, click the Field Overrides panel, and click the Add button. Then select the appropriate field from the Output Field dropdown, change the Override Type to Custom Field, and then select the Custom field from the dropdown menu as shown below:
Employer_Number
Mutual Of America requires that the Employer_Number (aka - Plan ID) be included in the file sent to them. If you do not store the Plan ID in payroll, a field override is needed for the Employer_Number field.
Plan Type
By default, the Plan Type field is set to '401k'. If your client's plan is not this type (403B, TDA, etc.), then you will need to provide a field override for the Plan Type field.
Payroll Frequency
Mutual Of America also requires that the Payroll Frequency be included in the file sent to them. To ensure this field is correct, create a field override for the Payroll Frequency field using the values below:
Weekly = W
BiWeekly = B
Semimonthly = S
Monthly = M
To add a Field Override, locate the Action - Transform step, expand the Field Overrides panel and click the Add button. Then select the appropriate Output field, set the Override Type to Text and enter the Override Value.
At the beginning of this article you configured the notification step for the moov to send a notification once the moov had completed. You also have the ability to configure the notification step for each client configuration if you wish to add or remove email addresses per client.
To override the notification step, locate the Action - Notify step and toggle the "Use default parameters" off and enter/remove email addresses from Email Address and Reply To fields. If you would like to enter multiple email addresses, separate them with a comma.
To complete the configuration for your client, click the Next button at the bottom of the page and then the Save button on the moov summary page.
