Update on COVID-19 Leave and entry information for Biweekly Employees
Human Resources has received the following information regarding COVID-19 leave and entry on time sheets.
- Balances will be added to HRS according to published policy guidelines:
- Initial balances will be located on both the Absence Balances and Compensatory Time Tabs in Time & Labor.
- For employees without an FTE or with a fractional FTE, such as limited term employees, an FTE equivalent will be estimated.
- Initial balance may be updated via campus request. Requests for balance update will need policy approval.
- Employees who record hours will have hours loaded based on the average number recorded over the last 6 months (looking back from the March A payroll), or their start date if they were newly employed.
- No person will have more than 80 hours loaded.
- Changes in FTE will not increase or decrease the allotted balance.
- Projected balance will be available following the Friday evening (March 27) load and nightly processing.
- COVID-19 leave entries cannot be dated earlier than 3/17/2020, the effective date of the policies.
