With the unexpected school closure yesterday, 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.

GCQC Coverage of Schools Due to Weather and/or Emergency provides a policy overview of building closure and coverage during closures.

10-month and 11-month employees (i.e. Teaching Assistants, Teachers, etc)

10-month and 11-month regular employees were granted building closure leave yesterday (November 14). Timekeepers need to add the building closure leave to non-exempt employee’s timecards to bring them to their expected scheduled hours for the day. Instructions on how to do so are found here Time and Attendance – Building Closure Leave.pdf – All Documents (sharepoint.com) Timekeepers may, but are not required to, add building closure leave to exempt employee’s timecards. If a 10-month or 11-month employee had a prescheduled personal day, you may remove the Personal Leave Cascade and replace it with Building Closure Leave.

12-month employees (i.e. Central Office Administration, Department of Technology, etc)

12-month regular employees were granted liberal leave today. Liberal leave means annual leave use is pre-approved and can be taken as needed for the day. Building closure leave should not be added to 12-month employee’s timecards. If a 12-month employee took the day off, then the Annual Leave Cascade should be added to their timecard.
