INTRODUCTION TO TIME AND LEAVE

To fully benefit from the information covered in this Computer-Based Training (CBT) you should have completed the Introduction to SHARP CBT.

The Introduction to SHARP CBT will teach you how to navigate through the menus and pages and introduce you to the basics of adding, updating, and maintaining data in PeopleSoft.

If you have not already done so, please review the Introduction to SHARP CBT before proceeding with the Time and Leave CBT.

NOTE: This manual covers time and leave entry as it pertains to classified employees and those unclassified employees who follow Executive Order No. 04-13 http://da.ks.gov/ps/subject/arc/memos/ExecOrder.htm. This manual does not address time and leave entry as it pertains to other unclassified employees.

Please consider that if Regulations, Bulletins, laws, etc. change, some of these scenarios may not be up-to-date. Continue to monitor the regulation changes that affect time and leave entry and apply those changes to the following scenarios if applicable.

For the most up to date information (including new or revised Regulations and Bulletins), please check the following websites: 
SHARP Customer Services (http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/) 
Division of Personnel Services (http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/) 
Accounts and Reports (http://www.da.ks.gov/ar/)

After completing this CBT, you should be able to:
View Holiday and Work Schedules
Add a New Time Sheet & Print Time Documents by Employee or Dept
Enter and Process Time and Leave
OK to Process Time Sheets by Employee or by Department
View Time and Leave Error Messages
Monitor Employee Leave Balances (Current and History)
Enter a Non Pay Affecting Leave Adjustment
View Shared Leave Data
Enter Workers Compensation Hours (Current and Prior Period)
Generate T&L Reports

KEY POINTS WITHIN TIME AND LEAVE

Most time and leave edits are delayed until the SAVE button is clicked. This helps to speed up data entry. One exception is the Earnings Code. There may be a delay after entering an earnings code and tabbing out of the field. You may want to wait until the earnings code description defaults before you begin to enter hours or pay.

The following earnings codes should be used in conjunction with codes entered on the Additional Pay page: P1H; P2H; P3H; and S3H. A corresponding code is entered one time only on the Additional Pay page. If your employees start to use any of these codes, it will be necessary to add the new code to the Additional Pay page. This is covered in the Payroll CBT.

The Leave Accruals report is the BEN007. Be sure to remember this when retrieving the Leave Accruals report from your agency directory using File Transfer Protocol (Core FTP Pro). You can also generate the State of Kansas custom Leave Accrual report on-line (KBEN007) using this navigation: Time and Leave > Reports > Leave Accrual.

Time and Leave Refresh Button: This button was developed to allow you, the timekeeper, the ability to have the system calculate Total, Weekly, and Biweekly hours and the CTLA (Counts toward Leave Accrual/In Pay Status) and FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) figures without having to click on SAVE every time you want to see an update of the hours you just entered. The Refresh button (green circular arrows and black font with a yellow background) will also force processing of some T&L errors or warnings. It is still necessary to click on the OK to Process? and Save the timesheet after clicking on the Refresh button.

The Holiday Schedule Field is located on the Payroll page located within the Job Data component. Updating this field is covered in the Workforce Administration and Compensation CBT.

If you are entering an adjustment (pay or non-pay affecting) on the Adjustment Daily page, be cautious about adding rows of data. If you enter too many rows to a timesheet, you will not be able to delete any of them. You will have to cancel the page and start entry again.

TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMINOLOGY
1 of 5

A standardized time document is used by state agencies.

The use of a non-SHARP time document must be approved by the Division of Personnel Services.

Time sheets, the electronic version of a time document, are generated automatically during the evening of the first day of a new pay period for all active employees.

Agencies can print time documents after they are created (generally the first Monday of the pay period). Agencies can generate them at one location in the agency and distribute them to each department, or they can print each department’s documents at the department’s local laser printer.

Time documents are not generated for Regent Institutions, interface agencies, or any other employees attached to a default work schedule with the Print Time Report? check box OFF (no X) when printing by Department. Refer to the Work Schedule Table to view this checkbox (Navigation: Set Up HRMS > Foundation Tables > Organization > Work Schedule).

Agencies attach Work Schedules on the Kansas Information Page in Position Data (Covered in the Position Management CBT) and Holiday Schedules to the Payroll page in Job Data (Covered in the Workforce Administration CBT). When time documents for employees are printed, they reflect the default work and holiday schedule for the position.

TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMINOLOGY
2 of 5

Time documents for non-exempt employees contain the default work and holiday hours by day. Most agencies will not print time documents for exempt employees. If agencies print time documents for exempt employees, in most cases, it will only contain holidays because most exempt employees are tied to positions with blank default work schedules.

The time document is printed by Department (ID), Pay Period End Date, Employee ID, and Empl Rcd Nbr. An employee will have a time document for each position worked.

The FLSA code will assist the timekeeper in ensuring time and leave reporting rules are followed.

Hours are recorded each day by earnings code.

Employees should total hours reported by earnings code as well as by the pay period.

Signatures are required on the Time Document. If an employee or supervisor is not available to provide a signature, make that notation on the time sheet and get the next level supervisor’s signature. When the employee and supervisor are available, ask them to date and sign the document at that time.

TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMINOLOGY
3 of 5

If an employee does not turn in a time document, don’t ‘OK to Process’ the Time Sheet without proper documentation. There are several options for this situation. The supervisor or timekeeper may wish to ask the employee for the time document. If the employee is not available due to illness, the supervisory may wish to sign the time document and ask the employee to sign it when he/she returns. Agencies may have other procedures to follow when this type of situation arises.

State agencies that plan to interface time and leave information with SHARP must receive prior approval from the Department of Administration.

The Department of Transportation, Department of Human Resources, Corporation Commission, Insurance Department, Department of Revenue, and the Department of Education currently have approval to interface time and leave.

Time documents are required for non-exempt employees and must be retained by the agency for at least 5 years.

Most exempt employees will not have a time document. They use leave slips to request time off. 

Approved leave requests must be retained for at least 5 years.

Agencies may continue to use paper or electronic leave request slips.

TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMINOLOGY

EARNINGS CODES

Earnings codes are required for each time or leave entry for non-exempt employees. Earnings codes are required for exempt employee’s use of leave.

PeopleSoft FLSA calculations require separate leave-type earnings codes for salaried exempt employees and non-covered employees whose ‘Employee Type’ is ‘Salaried.’

There are earnings codes for vacation leave payout, sick leave payout, compensatory time payout, and holiday compensatory time payout. SHARP will automatically calculate the payouts if the eligible employee transaction that triggers a payout is entered in Job Data prior to payroll cutoff. Time Keepers will calculate and enter payouts if the separation is not entered into SHARP in a timely manner. The payout code may need to be adjusted based on the KPERS membership date (July 1, 1994) and the dollar amount may need to be adjusted based on the Retention Incentive Pay Rate Differential (S14) established in 2006 for certain job codes (in the “N2” family).

Use of the WCE (Workers Comp Hours-Exempt) earnings code will reduce a salaried employee’s gross pay.

Earnings codes that typically default on the time document include: REG – regular earns, SF1 – Shift 1, and HDC – holiday credit (or HDE for exempt and non-covered salaried employees). LGP – Legislative Daily Pay or BDM – Board Member Daily Pay typically appear for legislators or board members.

Maximum Vacation Leave Accrual Schedule & Vacation Overage Report
1 of 10

Reference: K.A.R. 1-9-4
http://da.state.ks.us/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-4

Vacation leave balances are limited to a maximum accrual based on length of service (see above chart). At the end of the last payroll period paid in each fiscal year, up to 40 hours of any accrued vacation leave that exceeds an employee’s maximum accumulation of hours shall be converted to sick leave (by entering the SLA earnings code and hours on the timesheet). After this conversion, all remaining vacation leave over the maximum accumulation of hours shall be forfeited at the end of the last payroll period paid in that fiscal year. Therefore, employees must use any vacation accruals over the maximum by the pay period end date to avoid losing it. Employees are responsible for monitoring leave overage. 

Agencies however, should generate the Vacation Leave Overage Report (http://da.state.ks.us/sharp/reports/kben354.htm) to determine who needs up to 40 hours vacation transferred to sick leave. 

Refer to the Vacation Overage Conversion Instructions:
Detailed Instructions: http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/VacationOvrgDetails.pdf or General Instructions: http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/VacationOvrgGeneral.pdf

POLICIES
Maximum Vacation Leave Accrual Additional Information
2 of 10

Steps the system performs when updating vacation leave balances:
Reduce vacation leave balance by hours used during the pay period.
Reduce vacation leave balances to the maximum, if necessary.
Accrue vacation leave for the period.

If an employee moves from one leave maximum category to another during this biweekly period, the employee’s maximum accumulation is the “new” higher maximum, not the “old” lower maximum.

It is important to note that conversion of vacation leave that is over the maximum (up to 40 hours) is a manual process. Instructions for this process are provided at:
http://da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/VacationOvrgDetails.pdf

Leave overage amounts are displayed on the employee’s paycheck stub under ‘AO’. Overage is not listed separately on the Self Service View Leave Balances page.

Because Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are periodically revised, please refer to K.A.R. 1-9-4 (Vacations) for the most up to date information on Vacations: http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-4

POLICIES
Discretionary Holiday Policy
3 of 10

Eligible employees with 6 months of continuous service receive a discretionary day each year. Full time employees receive up to 24 hours while employees working less than full time receive a proportional number of hours.

Although 24 hours default, per K.A.R. 1-9-2, an employee is allowed to claim only the number of hours they are regularly scheduled to work. The timekeeper should report the appropriate number of hours the employee was regularly scheduled to work on the day the employee designates as the holiday (up to 24 hours). Regardless of the number of hours entered, the balance will be reduced to zero after the final pay calculation has been run. Most State employees will record 8 hours discretionary day.

Discretionary holiday hours must be used at one time; the hours cannot be split between days. ‘DD’ will appear on the check stub when the discretionary holiday is available for use. The words Discretionary Day will appear on the View Leave Balances page. The ‘DD’ or “Discretionary Day” will not appear if the employee’s discretionary holiday balance is zero.

Because Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are periodically revised, please refer to K.A.R. 1-9-2 (Holidays) for the most up to date information on holidays:
http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-2 and http://da.ks.gov/ps/subject/holiday.htm.

POLICIES
Discretionary Holiday Technical Information
4 of 10

PeopleSoft is programmed to award newly hired employees a discretionary holiday once they have 6 months of continuous service. However, some scenarios require manual adjustment to the Discretionary Day leave balance. The Division of Personnel Services can adjust the balance upon receipt of a request.

1. Some unclassified employees may receive a discretionary day and some should not. This requires the Discretionary Holiday balance be manually adjusted to zero.

2. Re-hired employees who have not worked for six continuous months in their current employment could incorrectly receive a new discretionary holiday at the beginning of the new year. In these situations, the Discretionary Holiday balance must be manually adjusted to zero.

3. Temporary employees who move to a regular position must work in the regular position 6 continuous months before receiving a Discretionary Day. However, these employees may incorrectly receive a Discretionary Day too soon. In these situations, the Discretionary Holiday balance must be manually adjusted to zero.

4. Prior period adjustments that cross over calendar years may result in the Discretionary Holiday balance needing manual adjustment.

POLICIES
Leave Without Pay – Up To 30 Days
5 of 10

Leave without pay for a time period less than or equal to 30 days is handled through the time and leave entry process.

If a non-exempt employee is on leave without pay for only a portion of the pay period, do not record time or leave on the days the employee is absent. Since non-exempt employees are paid hourly, they will not receive payment for the time they are away from work.

If an exempt employee is on leave without pay for a portion of the pay period, you should record the hours on leave using the LWP (leave without pay) earnings code. LWP is considered a negative earnings code that will cause the employee’s pay to be prorated based on the days of leave without pay. LWP for exempt employees should be recorded in full day increments.

If the leave without pay is for the entire pay period, delete any rows that default in and do not OK to Process the record. Save the changes. No record will be sent to payroll and no detail will be stored. The employee will not receive a paycheck for the period.

POLICIES
Leave Without Pay - More Than 30 Days
6 of 10

Leave without pay for over 30 days is handled through employee data maintenance. An action code of Leave of Absence (LOA), with the appropriate reason code, should be entered in Job Data. The leave without pay action will inactive the timesheet create process if the effective date is prior to the beginning of the pay period.

Refer to the Workforce Administration and Compensation CBT for information on entering Job Data changes.

Because Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are periodically revised, please refer to K.A.R. 1-9-6 (Leave Without Pay) for the most up to date information on Leave Without Pay. http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-6.

POLICIES
Shared Leave Recipient Conditions
7 of 10

Once it is determined that an employee is eligible to receive shared leave, the following conditions must be met:

1. The Shared Leave recipient must exhaust all paid leave available for use, including vacation leave, sick leave, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time, and discretionary day. For example, the leave balance for a non-exempt employee receiving shared leave cannot be .25 or above. For an exempt, the leave balance cannot be 4 hours or above. 

2. The employee has at least six months of continuous service.

POLICIES
Shared Leave Recipient Addition Information
8 of 10

The maximum number of hours of shared leave that may be used by an employee shall be the total hours that the employee would regularly be scheduled to work during a six-month period.

Shared leave may be applied retroactively for a maximum of two pay periods proceeding the date the employee signed the shared leave request form.

An employee shall be eligible to donate vacation leave or sick leave to another employee if these conditions are met.

1. The donation of vacation leave does not cause the accumulated vacation leave balance of the donating employee be less than 80 hours, unless the employee donates vacation leave at the time of separation from state service.

2. The donation of sick leave does not cause the accumulated sick leave balance of the donating employee to be less than 480 hours, unless the employee donates sick leave at the time of separation from state service.

3. If the employee is retiring from state service and receiving compensation for sick leave upon retirement, the donated sick leave consists only of the accumulated sick leave in excess of the applicable minimum accumulation amount required for eligibility for a sick leave payout.

LEAVE PLANS FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
1 of 6

Time and leave entry involves recording time and leave in a daily format utilizing the standard time reporting document. The format provides detailed time and leave records for FLSA compliance.

Non-exempt employees are paid an hourly rate. Hours are reported in quarter hour (.25) increments. The number of hours reported determines the amount of a non-exempt employee’s paycheck.

Non-exempt employees accrue sick leave based on the hours worked during the pay period that count toward leave accrual.

Non-exempt employees accrue vacation leave based on the hours worked during the pay period that count toward leave accrual and the employee’s length of service.

Actual Hours Worked Versus Hours Scheduled
5 of 6

Non-exempt employees report actual hours worked each day rather than hours scheduled to work. If hours worked differ from the hours defaulted on the time document, non-exempt employees only enter the deviations on the time document – exception time reporting.

Reporting actual hours worked each day provides better information for management reporting.

LEAVE PLANS FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Reporting Leave Based on Work Scheduled
6 of 6

Non-exempt employees need to report leave based on hours scheduled to work for leave purposes in order to maintain in pay status hours for the period.

A day of vacation or sick leave should equal the time scheduled to work that day.

LEAVE PLANS FOR EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Time Reporting Points
1 of 3

Generally, all exempt employees should be full-time.

Because exempt employees are paid a bi-weekly rate, they are only required to record leave. Exempt employees record vacation, sick, holiday compensatory time taken, or shared leave in half-day increments. Split time should be recorded as a total. For example, if an exempt employee is away from work for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, the time away from work is considered a half day of vacation, sick leave, or similar leave.

Supervisors manage employee leave requests. For example, if an employee who has been abusing the policy asks to be off work for 2 hours to run an errand, the leave request can be denied, or the supervisor can ask the employee to take and report a ½ day off instead.

Although it is not required, agencies do have the option of reporting time for exempt employees for labor distribution purposes, but the time reported must be for actual hours worked. Entering actual hours worked (REG) into timesheets will have no impact on pay for exempt employees.

Exempt employees who fall within the “N2” job class and are paid the Retention Incentive Pay Rate Differential (S14) should record actual hours worked and paid leave taken by day using the S14 earnings code.

PeopleSoft FLSA calculation requires distinction between exempt and non-exempt employees. Separate sick leave earnings codes are recorded for exempt employees.

The exempt sick leave accrual plan is based on an employee’s time in-pay-status per pay period. It is an all or nothing actual. If exempt employees are in pay status at any time in the period, they will receive full leave accrual.

Vacation earning levels are based on an employee’s years of service and time in-pay-status per pay period.

PeopleSoft FLSA calculation requires distinction between exempt and non-exempt, so separate vacation leave earnings codes are recorded for exempt employees.

Exempts earn all or nothing in accrual. Employees who are in pay status any time in the period will accrue the maximum number of hours based on their years of service.

WORK SCHEDULE TABLE
1 of 5

Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to view work schedules.

Navigation: Setup HRMS > Foundation Tables > Organization > Work Schedule

Connections: Work schedules are recorded on the Kansas Information page of Position Data and are used to create default time sheets. Work Schedules can also be viewed on the Kansas Information page in Job Data.

Important Notes: Work schedules define the FLSA period and the number of hours per day a position is scheduled to work. The schedule will default to the employee who occupies the position. This approach makes it possible for exception time reporting. Employees only report deviations from the default work schedule. All employees must be attached to a default work schedule. DO NOT ATTACH A NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEE TO THE EXMT WORK SCHEDULE . Doing so will void the FLSA edits.

WORK SCHEDULE TABLE
Default Work Schedule - Non-Exempt
2 of 5

1.     Non-exempt employees who work the same hours on the same days each week should be attached to a default work schedule that corresponds to their hours of work. (For example, an employee who works 8 hours Monday through Friday without shift hours will have 8MF1 as the default work schedule.)

2.     Non-exempt employees who work fluctuating hours on varying days should be attached to a positive time reporting schedule. The time sheet will not have a default earnings type or hours associated with the earnings type. The timekeeper will enter all hours worked for the period.

3.     A non-exempt employee should not be attached to an EXMT work schedule. Doing so will void the FLSA edits.

4.     Non-exempt employees whose FLSA threshold is 40 hours per week, should not be attached to the following work schedules: DOA3, DOA4, HP81, HP82, P2FB, PS2F. Doing so will result in incorrect FLSA edits.

WORK SCHEDULE TABLE
Default Work Schedule - Exempt
3 of 5

1.     Exempt employees should be attached to a blank default work schedule such as EXMT. The time sheet will not have a default earnings type or hours associated with the earnings type. The time keeper will enter non-regular hours such as leave or pay. If you want a blank time document to print for an exempt employee each time you print time documents, attach the employee to the PS1A default work schedule.

2.     Exempt employees can be attached to a default work schedule that contains Regular hours if the agency is tracking hours for labor distribution purposes. Actual hours worked must be recorded in this case.

Timing: Anytime you need to view detailed holiday schedule information.

Connections: Holiday schedules are recorded on the Payroll page in Job Data and are used to default holiday credit on a time sheet.

Important Notes: Holiday schedules define the date the holiday is officially observed and the number of hours of holiday credit to be received by employees. If a holiday is effective during the pay period, the information from the holiday schedule will override the information from the default work schedule on the time entry pages and employee time documents. All employees should be attached to a holiday schedule. Classified temporary employees should be attached to the PSTV holiday schedule..

TIME AND LEAVE DATA ENTRY
The Basics of Current Period Time and Leave Entry
2 of 26

The time entry default is “not to pay.” Agencies must specify that an employee’s timesheet is “OK to Process,” or a paycheck will not be generated for the employee. Agencies can “OK to Process” all timesheets associated with a department or by individual employee.

Time and leave can be reported by employee or by department.

Time and leave information is captured at a daily level. Although it is not required that agencies enter time and leave information on a daily basis, entering time and leave information throughout the pay period may reduce the work effort required during cut-off.

Pay periods begin on Sunday and end on Saturday.

On-line users can enter time and leave throughout the period.

No entries or updates can be made after the final pay calculation (usually the first Friday following the end of the pay period). Any changes that need to be made after Final Pay Calculation executes must be done through the adjustment process.

Edit programs run each night during cut-off to assist users in error detection. Results of these programs are found on the Interface Errors Messages or the Time Entry Errors Messages page.

Errors can be corrected prior to the pay check creation; reducing the number of adjustments.

If the time keeper has access to the Maintain Payroll Data U.S. window, results of the preliminary pay calculation may be viewed on-line on the Paycheck Earnings page. To access this page, select menu items in the following order: Home>Payroll for North America>Payroll Processing USA>Produce Payroll>Review Paycheck. This is covered in the Payroll CBT.

Timing: Time documents may be printed anytime after timesheets (electronic version of the paper time document) have been created. Timesheets are created during the evening of the first day of the pay period.

Important Notes: Time documents must be retained for at least 5 years. Individual time documents may be printed for both hourly and salaried employees. Most agencies don’t print time documents for exempt employees. Agencies that record time worked for exempt employees for labor distribution purposes do print time documents for their exempts to record time worked. Other agencies do not.

Navigation: Time and Leave > Maintain Employee Timesheet

Timing: Time and leave is entered each pay period for employees who have worked or taken leave.

Important Notes: It is important that you enter time and leave accurately so an employee’s paycheck is correct. Additionally, do not record compensatory time earned until an employee has met his or her FLSA threshold (Usually 40 hours). Most non-exempt employee’s do not earn compensatory time by day, but rather once they work 40 hours in a week. Once the employee has worked the 40 hours, then, we can record compensatory time earned.

Click the link below to view the movie. It will allow you to practice entering time for an employee who earned compensatory time in week 1 and used compensatory time in week 2 (Employee worked 4 hours over the 40 hour FLSA limit in Week 1. Employee then took 6 hours compensatory time off on Friday, Week 2.) Although you are not required to complete practice exercises, they will cover navigation and data entry which you may see on the Time and Leave test.
