Part Time Employees Sick Leave

1. Part Time Employees Sick Leave

2. HB153 Part Time Employees Sick Leave Requirement • Language in HB153 stated “employees who render regular part-time, per diem, or hourly service must be granted at a rate of 4.6 hours of sick leave for 80 hours of service” • The SSDT is enhancing USPS in an effort to help facilitate this • Effective September 29, 2011

3. USPSCN/BIOSCN • A flag will be added to the employee level signifying if the employee is considered “regular part-time, per diem, or hourly service”

4. USPSCN/BENSCN • A new field will be displayed for those with the part time BIOSCN flag set • This field will be named “Current Hours of Service” • This field will be populated as part of the payroll process using the “retire hours” field already in UPDCAL • When released there will be an initialization program ITCs will be required to run to setup this new field and the new field on the USPEMP file

5. USPLOAD/BENSCN • USPLOAD will be modified to allow the loading of this new “current hours of service” field from a spreadsheet • This will allow the population of this field if district tracking occurs before this enhancement is live in USPS

6. MASCHG/MASSICK • A new MASCHG option will be added that can be executed to increment sick leave balances based on the value in the “current hours of service” field • This program will prompt for the value to increment by. The default will be 4.6 (the help will explain the 4.6 hrs per 80 hrs requirement) • Prompting is necessary for those districts that track sick leave in days and not hours • Once the prompt is set the parms file will load the last stored value • When executed the program will increment the sick balance by the value entered for every 80 hrs of current service • Any hours left over (less than 80 after all incrementing occurs) will be retained in the field
