CDA Setup • Establishing procedures for Communication Device Allowance (CDA) approvals is the responsibility of the department. • The employee does not have to be employed by the department authorizing a CDA. • The only accounts that may be used to pay the CDA are those in the administrative view linked to the *DEFINE desk being used. The desk/view combination must have Super status for OVC.
CDA Setup • To access the system, the user must be on a *DEFINE desk that has Super status for the OVC command. • *DEFINE desk authorizations are updated by the electronic office manager or delegate via the US1 command. • Individuals with View or Update authorization can view CDA records but not make updates.
CDA Payout • The CDA is paid once per month in the first semi-monthly pay period (the first through the fifteenth). • A separate earnings statement is issued (as with overtime payments). • The object code for the monthly and one-time payments is 1144. The account being charged must be authorized for this object code.
CDA Payout • The expenditure transaction on the statement of account will be a separate line item. • Fringe benefits (e.g., worker’s compensation insurance and unemployment compensation insurance) will be charged to the fringe subaccount associated with the CDA account.

Creating an Allowance • Payment Authorization—establishes whether the employee is authorized to receive the payment based on the appointment account. • Payment Setup—establishes the period of time, amount, and what account to charge the payment to.
Modifying an Allowance • On initial set-up, an allowance may have a retroactive start date. • After a payment has been processed for a month, it cannot be retroactively changed. • An allowance may be cancelled by selecting the Cancel in the End Date menu. • Allowance records cannot overlap months.
