ADP Job Changes Blackout May 1, 2024 – May 12, 2024

For those of you who submit changes in ADP, please read the following:

Between May 1, 2024, and May 12, 2024, we will be enforcing a blackout of all ADP Job Changes. Timekeepers and managers should NOT submit any job changes within ADP during this time. If you have to submit a termination/resignation during the period, please reach out to your Business Partner. This blackout will only affect ADP. Please continue to enter any updates or changes as needed in SPA, and complete the correlating changes in ADP after the blackout has ended.

IMPORTANT: Any changes for a licensed employee for the 2024 – 2025 school year must be submitted before the blackout begins. This information is used to create the 2024 – 2025 licensed employee contracts. RIF hour changes must be submitted in this group. However, RIF terminations should not be processed at this time. This information was communicated in the SAB on 4/22/2024 (copied below).

If you have started a change in ADP before the blackout without submitting, you will need to cancel, and restart the change after the blackout.

Please hold any 10/11-month non-exempt changes until after the blackout.

A reminder email will be sent on May 1 when the blackout is initiated, and a follow-up email will be sent on May 13 when the blackout has been lifted.

SAB message sent on 4/22/2024:

Reminder: ADP Job Changes  

Supervisors and those who initiate employee job changes in ADP: Proceed NOW with submitting changes for Licensed staff for 2024-2025. We need all known changes (like RIFs, increases in hours, and voluntary reductions) so that HR can prepare employee contracts for release and signature. All known changes should be submitted and completed by Wednesday, May 1.  

If you want to double-check, the SPA/ADP mismatch FTE report in SPA is a great tool to see where there are discrepancies. Please continue submitting LOAs, resignations, and retirements for ALL staff. Your HR Business Partner will follow up with you related to changes for classified employees later. For 10-month teachers, please use 8/9/24 as the term date and 8/10/24 as the effective/start date.  

Please contact your HR Business Partner with any questions.
