With the announcement that school would be canceled this morning and that all 12-month employees must report to work until all buildings are closed at 12:00 PM, 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 employee whose schedule is impacted by the cancellation should have Building Closure Leave applied to their timecard totaling their normal scheduled hours. Each 12-month employee whose schedule is impacted by the noon closure should have 4 hours of Building Closure Leave added to their timecard (ex: if a 12-month employee is only scheduled to work 4 hours per day which is worked in the morning, they should not receive any building closure leave).
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.
