Merit, Merit-Exempt and Non-Exempt P&S
General Information
This form is for use by Merit, Merit-Exempt and Non-Exempt P&S staff members in reporting extra hours worked, regular hours not worked, holiday pay, other adjustments to pay as well as excused absences with pay. It also enables computer calculations of additions and deductions to your “normal” monthly salary and a running record of sick leave and vacation available to you.
A Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Record for each month of employment will be created online under “Time Reporting” in the Self-Service Center at or near the beginning of each month. Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Records should be submitted to Human Resources by ten working days after the end of the month.
Salary adjustments computed from these forms will be included with the regular monthly salary paid on the first of the following month. Payments for extra hours worked, shift differential, etc., or adjustment for hours not worked will always be one month in arrears.
If it is necessary to submit a second Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Record to correct information on the original, please send a paper “Corrected Copy” Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Record. It is available on the e-forms website for Human Resources. Please select the Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Record, and check the “corrected copy” box in the upper left hand corner.
Completing the Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Record
Every staff member must complete and turn in to the Payroll Department a time record for each month.
No entries are required for regularly scheduled hours worked. Enter only those hours which require an adjustment to “normal” salary and those regularly scheduled hours not worked.
Four entries are provided for each day to indicate the various types of pay adjustments or absences. Each entry must be coded with the proper number from the listing of paid leave codes or pay adjustments in order to properly categorize the hours entered.
Those staff members paid from more than one account are to enter vacation and sick leave usage on only one of the Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Records completed.
Merit staff members, who are eligible, will receive overtime compensation for hours in excess of forty in any work week. The basic work week is defined as 168 consecutive hours running from the first shift beginning on or after 12:00 a.m. Sunday through the first shift beginning before 12:00 midnight the following Saturday. As overtime is computed on the basis of a work week, you may wish to complete a work record first and then enter the proper information on the electronic Monthly Leave and Pay Adjustment Record.
If you have questions as to the proper computation of overtime pay or what is properly classified as an absence without pay, contact your supervisor or HR Unit Rep.
All entries are made in hours or tenths of an hour using the following schedule:
06 minutes = .1
12 minutes = .2
18 minutes = .3
24 minutes = .4
30 minutes = .5
36 minutes = .6
42 minutes = .7
48 minutes = .8
54 minutes = .9
If the time worked is not exactly even in tenths of an hour, "round" to the next tenth of an hour.
Provision is also made for the election to have sick leave transferred to vacation. If the “every month possible” box is checked, the transfer will be made every month you are eligible until the election is cancelled.
