Holiday Accrual Process
REGULAR HOLIDAYS
-
IF YOU DID NOT WORK THE HOLIDAY, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED. As part of the updated process, effective Sept. 1, 2012, you will not deposit or charge the holiday if you are entitled to it and you did not work on the date the holiday is officially observed.
- IF YOU DID WORK THE HOLIDAY, ACTION IS STILL REQUIRED. You will enter the time you are entitled to in the "Earned Amount" box for each holiday (at the bottom right of the screen).
Click on "SAVE TIME RECORD" button (on the bottom of the screen toward the left). This deposits the holiday(s) into your "bucket" for use within that month or at a future date.
Holidays will always be listed on the bottom right of your screen. Questions may be directed to Lisa Havtur in Human Resources.
FLOATING HOLIDAYS
May be Presidentially-designated to be charged on a different day.
Election Day (November) and Lincoln's Birthday (February)
The two Presidentially-designated floaters we enjoy each year require a slightly different approach than a standard holiday, as floaters are already loaded (added to the employee's accrual balance) and because floaters may actually occur on a day other than the day observed.
ELECTION DAY (NOVEMBER)
Full-time employees should leave the "1" in the Holiday Time Worked box (bottom right of the screen).
Next, employees should proceed following one of the two scenarios below:
- IF FLOATING HOLIDAY IS NOT WORKED ON THE DESIGNATED "OBSERVED DATE" - FT employees will also charge the floating holiday (unlike the process for standard holidays). This step subtracts the day from the accrual balance. The entry should look like this:
- OR, IF FLOATING HOLIDAY IS WORKED ON THE "OBSERVED DATE" - FT employees won't take any action, as the day has already been "loaded" into the employee's accrual balance for use at a future date (as a floating holiday). The entry should look like this:
LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY (FEBRUARY)
Full-time employees who DID NOT WORK on Lincoln's Birthday should change the Earned Amount in the Holiday Time Worked box from "1" to "0," then click on "Save Time Record". No charge should be made to the record. The following reflects the correct displays:
Full-time employees who DID WORK on Lincoln's Birthday should retain, unchanged, the "1" credit already reflected in the Earned Amount in the Holiday Time Worked box. No charge should be made to the record. The following reflects the correct displays:
LASTLY, SAVE YOUR ENTRIES. After making entries, be sure to hit "Save" in the bottom left of the pop-up box in which you make your charge, AND also "Save Time Record," bottom left of the main screen - this step actually processes your your entries in the system.
NOTE: Regarding Floating Holidays that have a separate, designated OBSERVED DATE - if the Actual holiday date is not worked, employee must charge leave credits following the usual process.
PART-TIME EMPLOYEES
Part-time Employees who are regularly scheduled to work on the ACTUAL floating date, will also accrue it per their individual rate.
To document the OBSERVED DATE of a floating holiday: (OBSERVED DATE for Floating Holidays is noted within the Holiday Time Worked box at the bottom right of the screen.)
- If regularly scheduled to report on the OBSERVED DATE for the floating holiday and not worked an employee should also enter a charge for it.
- If not normally scheduled to work on the OBSERVED DATE for the floating holiday, no action is necessary, as the holiday has already been accrued, making it available for use as a floating holiday in the future.
LASTLY, SAVE YOUR ENTRIES. After making entries, be sure to hit "Save" in the bottom left of the pop-up box in which you make your charge, AND also "Save Time Record," bottom left of the main screen - this step actually processes your entries in the system.
