Note 1: Best practice is to have employees enter time daily. Employees should never enter “0.00” (zero hours), on their timesheet. This would result in an exception.  Once the pay period has closed, please contact your agency’s Human Resource Office for any necessary corrections to employee timesheets.

Note 2: All time worked should be recorded as REG – Regular Time. The Shared Services Center records Holiday hours per the agency’s holiday schedule. Please refer to your agency’s Human Resources Office internal policy regarding Inclement Weather.

Overtime

Overtime is automatically calculated through Time and Labor, which is based on the definition of a workweek. The system does not allow users to enter Overtime for themselves.

Each college has designated one of the below as a default workweek, which could be Friday to Thursday, Monday to Sunday, or Sunday to Saturday. Please verify with your college Human Resources office as to what workweek your college follows.

Overtime Payment Configuration

When Overtime is calculated, it results in one of the following Time Reporting Codes (TRC).

Note: Overtime is calculated on the last day of the workweek according to the employees work schedule.

  • OT1 – Comp Time Straight Time, considered Comp Time Pay. Comp Time Pay is calculated when an employee reports more than 40 hours during a workweek with a combination of TRC REG hours worked and another TRC, such as Emergency or Holiday. The employee does not physically work more than 40 hours during the workweek.
    • Timesheet - The example below shows a timesheet for a workweek from Monday to Sunday with 43.7 total hours worked combining Holiday and Regular hours.

 

A screenshot of an employees timesheet showing regular and holiday hours totaling 43.7 hours which is greater than 40 hours for the workweek.

 

    • Payable Time Detail- The example below shows Regular, and Holiday pay and details how the HCM system auto calculates the additional 3.7 hours reported as Overtime 1 (straight time).

  • OT2 – Overtime Pay, considered 1.5 times the hours. Overtime Pay is calculated when an employee physically works over 40 hours per (Workweek is Friday to Thursday in this example).
    • Timesheet example below shows how Overtime 2 (1.5 times the hours) will be calculated when an employee physically works over 40 hours per workweek. The example below shows a punch timesheet for a workweek of Friday to Thursday with 00 hours worked.

    • Payable Time Detail Table example below shows how the system calculates Overtime 2 when the employee physically worked over 40 hours during their work The example below shows the employee working 40.60 hours and the payable time detail reflects .60 hours of OT2 to be paid.

Step 5.  Important Note:  The balance shown is as of the last processed date. The current balances do not reflect unprocessed requests within the same leave period. The balance reflects the last time absence management was processed. The processing of absence management will coincide with pay periods. The employee's balance should not be off by more than one semi-monthly payroll cycle.

Managers should ensure that the employee has the available absence balances to allow the submitted absence requests to be processed without creating unpaid leave.

Step 6.  Enter any appropriate comment in the Approver Comments field.

Step 7.   Approvers can take one of the following three actions listed below:

Approve: The absence request is approved. The employee can view the approval by going back to their Self- Service Absence Request History.

Deny: The absence request has been denied. The manager should enter an appropriate comment notifying the employee of the reason for denial.

Note: A Denied Leave Request will be shown on the timesheet until the request has been cancelled by the employee.

Push Back: The request is neither approved nor denied. The manager needs additional information, or the request requires corrections. The manager should enter an appropriate comment to notify employee of the reason and specify any additional information or action needed.

Appendix A: Employee Leave Types

When entering a leave/absence request, the employee will enter the start date and select the Absence Type from the drop-down menu. The employee will need to ensure they select the appropriate leave type corresponding to their specific leave plan. Choices will be Annual Leave, Other Leave, Traditional Sick/Personal Leave, and VSDP Sick/ Personal Leave. For a list of leave types and policies, please go to the Department of Human Resources Management (DHRM)  website. For faculty members, please visit the Virginia Community College Policies website.

Standard Leave Types

Annual Leave type is dependent on employee status.

  • 12-month Faculty Annual-New Plan.
  • 12-month Faculty Annual-Old Plan.
  • Classified Staff Annual Leave.
  • Executive Staff-Traditional with greater than 15 years of service.
  • Executive Staff-Traditional with less than 15years of service.
  • Executive Staff-VSDP with greater than 15 years of service.
  • Executive Staff-VSDP with less than 15 years of service.

Note: Excess Leave carried over to a new year requires agency approval but if you are eligible for and have Excess Annual Leave, those balances are not available as a selection in the Request Absence page but if you select your standard annual leave, PeopleSoft HCM will deduct the leave from the excess annual leave balance rather than from standard annual leave.

FML – Family Medical Leave

Employees will have the option to check a FML box when submitting their absence request with certain leave types. An employee should not select the FML field unless they have a qualifying event, approved by your agency’s Human Resource Office. If you have any questions regarding FML, contact your agency’s Human Resource Office.

Appendix B: Time Administration Information

Time and Labor Exceptions – Background Information:

The Time Administration process (Time Admin) is an automatic process which runs hourly according to the schedule for each agency and accepts any changes to the timesheets made by the employee. Each time the employee enters punch time entries or submits changes to those punch time entries on the timesheet, which deviate from the employee’s “predefined work schedule”, an exception is created. Also, if the manager has cleared the exceptions, and the employee submits changes to their timesheet after the manager has cleared exceptions, the system may create new exceptions.

The results of Time Administration are either exceptions or payable time that can be approved by the Manager. It is important that the manager resolve all exceptions before approving payable time. In the process of resolving or clearing the exceptions, the manager is to check the employee’s timesheet and absence requests for accuracy.   Communication with the employee is essential to correcting punch and elapsed time entries and leave requests. It is the manager’s responsibility to ensure that the final timesheet is correct before approving payable time.

Moreover, a list of the exceptions is listed in Appendix B.

 

Time and Labor Exceptions List

The following table lists each exception, provides a description, whether the exception is allowable or not, the cause of the exception, the resolution (or action to take) and the exception’s severity level.
