Policy Sections:
Handling insufficient leave for monthly employees.
Example:
A newly-hired monthly employee was given permission to take a week’s vacation but does not have any accrued vacation time.
Important Items to Remember
- Monthly employees are paid for their full monthly salary as long as they are active for the whole month.
- The department Human Resources Representative or Account Representative will need to contact Payroll with an email notification authorizing us to deduct the day or days that should not be paid:
- The email should contain:
- Employee’s ID Number.
- Employee’s Record Number.
- The dates that the employee did not work (only the days with insufficient vacation or sick).
- A statement authorizing the deduction from the employee’s next check.
- Payroll will do the calculation based on the following fomula: number of days not worked in the month (Monday through Friday) divided by the number of available working days in the month (Monday through Friday) multiplied by the monthly salary.
Example: Joan Doe was out of work from 07/12/05 through 07/16/05. Her salary is $3000.00 per month.
(5 days / 22 days) X $3000.00 = $681.82 will be deducted
- Payroll will reply to the email and inform the requestor of the amount that will be deducted.
- The earning code of RET will show on the employee’s stub with the amount of the deduction.
Department’s Responsibilities
- Contact Payroll via email as soon a possible so the employee is not overpaid.
- Make sure you have the email confirming that Payroll has received your request.
- Contact the employee to let him/her know the amount of the reduction of pay.
Payroll’s Responsibilities
- Calculate the amount to be deducted.
- Reply to the email with the amount to be deducted.
- Process the reduction as RET in next monthly payroll.
- Verify that the information was keyed correctly.
Insufficient vacation and sick accruals: time away from work for vacation or illness, but the employee does not have enough vacation or sick accrual to pay for the time off.
