When users add a new pay period, via Settings>Weekly Allowances, they must also update the retired settings for the new pay period. If this is not done after creating a pay period then active worksheets work but retired officer worksheets and reports are blank.
The "Retirement Options" screen contains the allowance retirement factor that is applied to the allowance rate, it has a table used to calculate the projected retirement dates, grant ceiling amounts, and the default Medicare premium amount. All of these need to be set in order for the retired officer allowances to work properly.
