Coronavirus COVID-19 Time and Leave Reporting

If an employee or employee’s household member is out due to a COVID-19 related illness or caretaker requirement, please refer to the information found at COVID-19 Employee FAQ.

If an employee or employee’s household member is sick with anything other than COVID-19, the normal sick leave policy is in effect and the employee reports time away from work using existing accrual balances.

Employees paid from Sponsored Project funds may not be able to use the new COVID-19 earnings code for pay when not working. Supervisors/Managers/Principal Investigators should check with the Office of Research (Amy Delgado/Karen Davis) to determine if alternate funding is required.

Employees or Timekeepers may use a combination of the following reporting codes depending on whether the employee is working or not. It is a management decision on who is working and if the employee is working on campus or teleworking. If an employee was already scheduled to be on another leave, that leave will take precedence, unless the leave is cancelled and approved by their supervisor.

Regular Earnings (REG) Code used for recording the actual hours worked for an hourly (non- exempt) staff employee whether that employee is on campus working or teleworking. This code does count toward overtime/compensatory time accrual.

Regular Student Earnings (SP1) Code used for recording the actual hours worked for a student hourly (non-exempt) employee whether that student employee is on campus working or teleworking. This code does count toward overtime.

19 Admin leave (C19) – Earnings Code used to designate hours paid to hourly (non-exempt) employees normally scheduled to work that are not working during the modified COVID-19 operations period. This code does not count toward overtime/compensatory time accrual.

• C19 may be used as of March 22, 2020.
• C19 will show up on the employee’s paycheck as “19 Admin Leave.”
• C19 is not to be reported in excess of the employee’s scheduled hours per day.
• C19 may be used in combination with absence to equal the employee’s scheduled hours per day, but may not be used in combination with absence in excess of the employee’s scheduled hours.
• C19 might not be allowable for employees funded on Sponsored Projects.
• Employees on C19 leave are expected to contact their supervisors daily.
