With the announcement that buildings would be closed until 10:00 AM, we wanted to send a reminder of how to process Building Closure Leave 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 10/11-month (only 220 and 260-day employees are affected) and 12-month employees whose schedule is affected by the late opening should have the appropriate hours of Building Closure Leave added to their timecard (ex: if an employee’s normal schedule is 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, they should not receive any leave. If their normal schedule is 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, they should have 2 hours of leave applied).
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.
