This section is updated every 15 minutes. • Total Hours Available – This is the employees balance without consideration of leave that is pending submission or approval. • Pending Timesheet Hours – This is the composite leave (by leave type) that is pending approval. This includes pending leave for all prior periods. This balance factors in leave that is either saved on the employees timesheet for a given period or submitted for approval, but not approved. • Net Hours Available – This is the employees actual leave available for use. This is “Total Hours Available” minus “Pending Timesheet Hours”. Programs Processes Partnerships

Accrual will show based on the day accrued. Programs Processes Partnerships

Programs Processes Partnerships

38. Overtime Rate of Pay • How are On-Call, CJIP, FFIP and FNA Pay included in the Overtime Rate of Pay? • On-Call is included in the employees overtime rate of pay based on the FLSA period earned. Specifically, On-Call is only included in the Overtime Rate of Pay for the periods that both Overtime and On-Call are earned. • CJIP is included based on the employees last CJIP payment received. • FFIP is included based on the employees last FFIP payment received. • FNA Pay is included based on the FLSA period earned. Programs Processes Partnerships

39. Overtime Rate of Pay • What you should be aware of: • As the employees overtime rate of pay includes On-Call, employees who receive On-Call pay will experience different overtime rates of pay, depending on the On-Call hours worked during each respective period. • Retro payments will be created when additional pay is processed for employees for a pay period that has already been processed. • Payments processed through the One-Time and Supplemental screens will not impact the Overtime Rate of Pay. • When entering Overtime payments into the One-Time and Supplemental screens, agencies should enter the desired hourly rate of pay. Programs Processes Partnerships

40. Flex Schedule/Contract Hours for Monthly Employees • What to be aware of: • Contract hours for monthly employees on a Flex Schedule are no longer based on the standard BOSP contract hours. Rather, each employees contract hours are calculated based on their individual schedule. Contract hours will be calculated by adding all scheduled hours from the first to the last day of the month. • This calculation for contract hours is critical when the employee works less than full contract hours for the month (e.g. mid-period hires, terminations, etc, LWOP). • For example, if I schedule 170 hours during the month and I work 160 hours, with 10 hours of LWOP, then I will be paid for 160 of 170 hours. All calculations will be based on 170, not the standard BOSP contract hours. Programs Processes Partnerships

41. Flex Schedule/Contract Hour Changes for Monthly Employees • Continued: • Monthly employees must submit Flex Schedules on a week by week basis, not a pay period basis (except 28-day employees). • One Schedule can still be projected forward for multiple weeks by changing the end date as desired. • The key is these employees must balance their flex schedule to a 40 hour week (for part-time employees this is 40 hours times their FTE). • The new Contract hours are used to drive the employees timesheet submission for the period (Career Service Excluded, SES Excluded, SMS, Exempt, etc., NOT INCLUDED EMPLOYEES). • Overtime is based on the employees FLSA period, not the monthly contract hours. Programs Processes Partnerships

42. General Flex Schedule Enhancements: Timesheet Related • Flex Schedule can be created and/or modified up to the point that the employee’s timesheet is approved. Once the timesheet is approved, the employee’s flex schedule cannot be changed. • If there is submitted or approved time for any part of the FLSA period for included employees or pay period for excluded employees, then the employee will NOT be able to create a flex schedule for any part of the period. Programs Processes Partnerships

43. General Flex Schedule Enhancements: Timesheet Related • Employees cannot project a flex schedule into the future, IF an approved timesheet exists for one or more of the projected periods. • Employees will receive an error message advising them that they have approved time in the future if they attempt to project a timesheet into the future, when one or more of those periods contain approved time. Programs Processes Partnerships

44. General Flex Schedule Enhancements • Once an employee’s flex schedule is approved, ONLY the employee’s manager or HR office will be able to modify the flex schedule. • Employees will receive an error message when attempting to modify an approved Flex Schedule: “You already have an approved flex schedule for this period, please contact your manager to change your schedule.” Programs Processes Partnerships

45. 28-Day Employees Flex Schedule Changes • For 28-day employees, the flex schedule screen will be shown in 4 week increments, based on employees’ 28-day cycle. • Schedules can still be projected into the future, but must use an end date that corresponds with the last day of a future period. • Flex schedule hours must correspond with the FLSA period (160 or 192 hours, depending on cycle). • To save the flex schedule, employees must meet their FLSA hours. • Flex Schedule MUST be approved BEFORE the employee’s timesheet is approved. • Timesheet submission and approval will be based on the FLSA period hours (160 or 192). Programs Processes Partnerships

46. Flex Schedule – 28-Day Employees Programs Processes Partnerships

47. 28-Day Employees Key Payroll Points • LWOP will ONLY be considered if presented in TOTAL for the pay period. • Mid transactions (hires, terminations, transfers, etc.) will be paid based on the employee’s scheduled hours for that period (based on days eligible). • Overtime and FLSA Accruals will only occur when employees physically work more than the 160 or 192 hours (based off of cycle) in an FLSA period. Programs Processes Partnerships

48. Payroll Input File (F0001) Change • Effective with the 10/28/06 release, new payroll (F0001) combine logic was implemented to reduce the number of supplemental pay checks that an employee receives. Programs Processes Partnerships

49. Payroll Input File (F0001) Change • How Combining works: • When multiple FLSA periods are contained within one pay period and the employee has multiple Overtime (OT), On-Call, On-Call Weekend/Holiday or Extraordinary payments in the same pay period, then the beginning and ending rate and hours fields will be used to combine payments to reduce the number of payroll checks the employee receives. • ONLY like kind payments will be combined. For example, one overtime record will be combined with another overtime record, but would not be combined with an on-call record. Programs Processes Partnerships

50. Payroll Input File (F0001) Change • How Combining will work: • If the employee has multiple payment types (e.g. overtime, on-call, on-call weekend and extraordinary pay), then separate payroll records are sent for each payment type. • ONLY two payments will be combined using this process per payroll record. If an employee has more than two like kind payments during the same pay period, then multiple records will still be sent for processing. Each F0001 record would contain up to 2 like kind payments. For example, if an employee has three different OT payments in the same pay period, then two records would be sent for processing. The first record would contain the first two OT payments and the second record would contain the third and final record. Programs Processes Partnerships
