OSPS E-News ~ New Code As Companion To Furlough Transactions

[Announcements from OSPS to the users of the Oregon State Payroll Application]

New Pay Code and Additional Clarification For Furlough Time Keeping

 

Applies To:  Any FLSA Non-Exempt or eligible FLSA-exempt employee called
into work outside the RG schedule within a week furlough is taken unless
daily overtime applies for additional hours worked pursuant to
applicable collective bargaining agreement provisions. (Note: FLSA
exempt employees become non-exempt for the workweek in which furlough
leave is taken).

 

New Code:  "FST" - pays straight time, does not accrue vacation or sick
leave and hours do not count toward PEBB benefits.  FST is effective for
use in pay period beginning 11-1-2009.  OSPS staff will update code FST
into all benefit packages currently populated with LA just as soon as
October Run 2 has been finalized.  

 

Purpose and Application:  Replaces previously advised use of
straight-time code "AST".  Code AST was created for a specific purpose
related to SEIU employees with sick time during a work week and
additional time worked after the occurrence of sick leave. The use of
AST for other purposes negatively affects queries from the payroll data
mart for tracking the original intended use of AST.  

 

Additional Recommendation:  Use of RG in place of UST when called back
during a furlough day. When the employee is called back during the
normal work shift, the hours worked are regular hours - therefore code
RG is used.   

 

Examples:  

 

Employee works 4-8's Monday - Thursday, is scheduled for 8 hours LA
(closure) on Friday. Employee gets called back and works from 12 pm - 2
pm on the closure day. In this case, the hours worked on Friday would be
RG because we'd only be recording 6 hrs LA. (Note: the additional LA
time would need to be rescheduled for another week).

Employee works 4-8s Monday - Thursday, takes 8 hours LA (closure) on
Friday. Employee is called to respond and works 2 hours on Saturday
morning. The 2 hours on Saturday should be coded FST rather than UST.
Otherwise they would accrue too much vacation and sick leave.
