Office Hours, Building Closure, & Next Week’s Payroll Run

Building Closure Leave

With the 2-hour delay this morning, we’re sending out a quick reminder on how building closure leave should be recorded in Kronos.

Building closure leave is paid leave that is only available to regular employees. Temporary employees are not eligible for building closure leave.
Each employee who’s schedule was impacted by the delay should have 2 hours of Building Closure Leave applied to their timecard. Since ACPS no longer practices leave washing, building closure leave should be applied to timecards even if the employee had to work during the closure. 

Since exempt employee’s pay would not be impacted by building closure leave, it is not necessary to add it to their timecards.

Notes for Payroll Input

We appreciate all you have done in the midst of the transitions with Kronos and Payroll Clarity! We are doing fantastic. For your supervisors who may be on this chain, I want to applaud some of the metrics around payroll batch entry that the payroll team is watching:

Thanks for focusing on using the naming convention for your uploads! It helps ensure that the team processing this data can do so quickly and accurately. Our goal is to go to 100% We’re getting there! Here is a sample of how it should look:

Also, thank you for providing detailed notes for each payment in the notes column These notes are very helpful to the auditing team – as we review and spot check the items, this helps us understand the payments and move them forward for processing. Here are sample notes that are very helpful for the audit process:

As we head into this round of payroll, please remember that a few changes went into effect as you review and approve timecards and submit batch input:

  1. Substitute rate changes went into effect on 1/31/22 – all subs beginning on that day are to be paid $140/day – the $97 plus $43 daily incentive). Please validate that your data pays the correct daily rate. Any batch that is open now (meaning that payroll has not yet processed it) can be edited through 1 p.m. on Monday, Feb 14.
  2. The new Supplemental Pay Schedule is posted on sharepoint and available here. Please be sure to refer to it and share with others as appropriate.
  3. Today is Friday and employees should approve their timecards by the end of the workday today.
  4. Timecard approvers should approve time by Monday at 1 p.m.
  5. GP payroll batch input must be uploaded by 1 p.m. Monday.

We will work over the next week or two to create an archive of these messages that you will be able to re-visit for information so that these messages don’t clutter your inbox.

Let me know if you have any questions about this information.
