OSPS E-News ~ New Holiday Pay Codes - STS & STH

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

Good Morning,

OSPS has added two new pay codes to several OSPA benefit packages.  STS & STH which will fall under the ST leave accrual code.  These should be used for FLSA exempt employees who either work on a holiday or the holiday falls on the employees scheduled day off.  These new pay codes are similar to the CTS and CTH pay codes that are used for FLSA non-exempt employees (overtime eligible).

STS - Holiday Straight Time Accrual.  STS would be used when a holiday falls on a FLSA exempt employee's day off.  For instance, if an employee's work schedule is Tuesday thru Saturday then the Monday Memorial Day will show as 8 STS.  (If the employee was FLSA non-exempt then the pay code would be CTS.)  STS accrues at one to one.

STH - Holiday Time & ½ Accrual.  STH would be used when an FLSA exempt employee works on a holiday.  The holiday would still be recorded with 8 HO but the actual hours worked would be coded to STH.  STH accrues at one and one-half (1.5) hour to every one hour worked.

These codes were added to help manage accrued time for FLSA exempt employees.  Past practice for holiday time has been to use compensatory time (CT*) for both FLSA exempt and non-exempt employees.  CT carries as a financial liability for the agency until used or paid in full per FLSA.  The ST* code for FLSA exempt employees is accrued leave that must be used within the fiscal year earned or will be lost.

Thank you,
Sandy
