As you all read in the August 22 Compass https://compass.k12albemarle.org/?p=2343595, we have a few leave program updates that are taking effect today.

Leave Pilot for 10 & 11 Month, Benefits-Eligible Employees

Benefits-eligible, 10 & 11 Month employees will see Personal Leave and Sick Leave loaded in their Kronos Accruals today. This year, instead of accruing month by month, these leave types are front loaded for 10 & 11 month employees. Teachers will see their Personal Leave in a separate bucket from their Sick Leave.

End of COVID Leave Bank Program

To transition the end of the COVID Leave Bank Program, benefits-eligible employees will see 5 sick days added to their Sick Leave. This appears on timecards today as “1-Time Sick Leave Supplement” as a negative amount equal to 5 days (the amount appears negative to add it instead of use it).

The comment attached to the entry reads “Per the 8/22/2023 Compass article, ACPS has discontinued the COVID leave bank program. To assist with this transition, we are providing this one-time addition of five (5) sick leave days into the sick leave balances of benefits-eligible employees. Please note that while the number is a negative value, the code adds Sick Leave to your accruals.”

Time Off Request Button for Non-Exempt 10 & 11 Month Employees

We received reports this morning that the Time Off Request Button was missing for Non-Exempt 10 & 11 month employees. That has now been fixed.

Historical Corrections Backlog

As noted in our July 28 post, we are still seeing an increase in historical correction requests. Submissions are taking up to 2 paychecks before they are processed (3 – 5 weeks from submission). Please help us remind employees to look at their timecards in Kronos to ensure timely and accurate checks.
