Post Range Revision Action Processing Instructions

Purpose

This document provides instructions for completing actions with effective dates prior to 2/1/26 for employees with a 2/1/26 Range Revision - LM No Salary Adjustment action. 

Important Notes

  • •    As has been previously communicated by OSHR via memo sent to HR Directors, some employees will have a 2/1/26 (ZE) Range Revision (05) LM No Salary Adjustment record:

  • ALWAYS review the employee actions in PA20 before processing any PCR action.
  • If the action is effective 2/1/26 and does not involve a position change, the action may be worked at the agency per normal process.
  • Do NOT attempt to process a new action with an effective date prior to 2/1/26 while there is a 2/1/26 Range Revision still on the employee’s record. This would be considered an insert.
  • Do NOT insert any action with an effective date prior to 2/1/26. Inserting an action will result in the 2/1/26 action being overwritten. This WILL cause payroll impacting issues and can prevent an employee from being paid.
  • BEST will NOT insert retro actions (non-LOA) due to the 2/1/26 Range Revision action.
  • BEST will NOT reprocess 2/1/26 ZE-05 Range Revision actions, except when processing LOA - related actions (Z3/Z2).
  • Please follow instructions for ticket requirements listed in the OM/PA Ticket Request Guide (Job Aid GN-9) available on the OSC site. Five or more employees can be submitted by spreadsheet.
  • If another (ZE) Range Revision action type is to be processed and effective 2/1/26, the ZE-05 (LM No Salary Adjustment) action should remain on the employees’ record for reporting purposes.

Key Responsibility Reminders

  • Agencies MUST ensure ALL necessary Range Revisions are back on the employee’s record prior to any Legislative Increase (LI) processing.
  • If BEST deletes a 2/1/26 Range Revision action so that an agency can process a PCR with an effective date prior to 2/1/26, the agency is responsible for creating and working the Range Revision action after completing the prior date action.
  • Agencies must determine Range Revision eligibility for all pre-2/1/26 hire actions using OSHR guidance. BEST cannot determine eligibility.
