Attendance and Leave Accounting :: Irregular Work Schedules

[ PRINT ]
For pay purposes, an employee is generally considered to be working five days a week at the time-base reflected on their appointment (i.e 1/2 time = 4 hours per day). In some cases, an employee's actual work schedule may be different than the normal Monday through Friday with equal hours worked on each day.

Examples of Irregular Shift Schedules:
4/10
 A full-time employee who works four days per week, ten hours per day.
9/80
 A full-time employee who works four days at nine hours per day and one day at eight hours during the first week and four days at nine hours per day during the second week.
There are other irregular schedules that are not listed.
Refer to the Collective Bargaining Agreements for more information.


Holidays
Depending upon contract language, the value of a holiday may be worth eight hours or the number of hours an employee was normally scheduled to work on the day the schedule was observed (part time employees receive a pro-rated amount).
Overtime
For full-time employees, overtime is paid for hours worked beyond the employees regular schedule. For questions on Overtime Pay, please contact Payroll Services .
Docks
A day of pay in the State Payroll system is eight hours. If a nine-hour day employee must be docked for a day, the dock must be submitted to the Payroll Office. The Payroll Office will then report it as one day and one hour to the State Controller's Office so that the correct pay is issued. See Docks for more information.
Attendance Recording
Employees records actual scheduled work hours in paid status for each pay period date using the daily grid on the Absence and Additional Time Worked Report (634). This includes regularly scheduled work hours that fall on holiday. Paid status includes the use of any accrued leave (e.g. vacation, sick leave, CTO, etc.)
