PINQ Screens

PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System screens contain employee payroll data available for query by Social Security number (SSN). Sensitive data access is based on security specifications.

PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System screens are identified by two alpha characters PQ and a three-digit screen number. Since all PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System screens are two-digit numbers, a pre-leading zero must be entered to access the screen. Certain screens display record numbers (e.g., Hist No., Rcd No.) at the upper right portion of the screen to identify the record being displayed. There may be multiple records within a screen. If so, the records display in descending order (i.e., the latest record displays first). Multiple records are usually the result of adjustments, personnel actions, etc., being processed.

The same data element within PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System may be displayed in more than one screen. A listing of PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System data elements is provided to help locate data in PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System and to define all data elements displayed in each screen. The listing may not list the data element exactly as it is displayed on the screen because one element could be represented differently in several screens. For example, account number could apply to child support and alimony, electronic funds transfer, etc. These type of elements are listed either with the screen title preceding the element name or with a term relative to the screen title. Definitions of all elements are also provided in the section titled PINQ Payroll/Personnel Inquiry System Data Elements.

Individual employee records may be viewed for all transactions processed simply by entering an SSN Social Security number, screen number, and in certain screens, a pay period number. The entry of a pay period number is required for all screens except PQ034, Name Employee Inquiry and PQ027, Unpaid. To view data for the previous 24 pay periods, a pay period number must be entered.

An explanation is provided with each screen figure. The outline of the explanation is (1) the types of inquiries researched using the screen; (2) the entry system; and (3) other data relative to the screen. The system generates data in certain fields from data entered by the user or from the type of data/transaction processed.

Following is a depiction of each screen, a synopsis of the data contained in each screen, and applicable instructions.
