| KEY POINTS WITHIN TIME AND LEAVE
Most time and leave edits are delayed until the SAVE button
is clicked. This helps to speed up data entry. One exception is
the Earnings Code. There may be a delay after entering an earnings
code and tabbing out of the field. You may want to wait until the
earnings code description defaults before you begin to enter hours
or pay.
The following earnings codes should be used in conjunction with
codes entered on the Additional Pay page: P1H; P2H; P3H; and S3H.
A corresponding code is entered one time only on the Additional
Pay page. If your employees start to use any of these codes, it
will be necessary to add the new code to the Additional Pay page.
This is covered in the Payroll CBT.
The Leave Accruals report is the BEN007. Be sure to remember this
when retrieving the Leave Accruals report from your agency directory
using File Transfer Protocol (Core FTP Pro). You can also generate
the State of Kansas custom Leave Accrual report on-line (KBEN007)
using this navigation: Time and Leave > Reports > Leave Accrual.
Time and Leave Refresh Button: This button was developed to allow
you, the timekeeper, the ability to have the system calculate Total,
Weekly, and Biweekly hours and the CTLA (Counts toward Leave Accrual/In
Pay Status) and FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) figures without
having to click on SAVE every time you want to see an update of
the hours you just entered. The Refresh button
(green circular arrows and black font with a yellow background)
will also force processing of some T&L errors or warnings. It
is still necessary to click on the OK to Process?
and Save
the timesheet after clicking on the Refresh button.
The Holiday Schedule Field is located on the Payroll page located
within the Job Data component. Updating this field is covered in
the Workforce Administration
and Compensation CBT.
If you are entering an adjustment (pay or non-pay affecting) on
the Adjustment Daily page, be cautious about adding rows of data.
If you enter too many rows to a timesheet, you will not be able
to delete any of them. You will have to cancel the page and start
entry again.

|
| TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMINOLOGY
1 of 5
A standardized time document is used by state agencies.
The use of a non-SHARP time document must be approved by the Division
of Personnel Services.
Time sheets, the electronic version of a time document, are generated
automatically during the evening of the first day of a new pay period
for all active employees.
Agencies can print time documents after they are created (generally
the first Monday of the pay period). Agencies can generate them
at one location in the agency and distribute them to each department,
or they can print each department’s documents at the department’s
local laser printer.
Time documents are not generated for Regent Institutions, interface
agencies, or any other employees attached to a default work schedule
with the Print Time Report? check box OFF (no X) when printing by
Department. Refer to the Work Schedule Table to view this checkbox
(Navigation: Set Up HRMS > Foundation Tables > Organization
> Work Schedule).
Agencies attach Work Schedules on the Kansas Information Page in
Position Data (Covered in the Position Management CBT) and Holiday
Schedules to the Payroll page in Job Data (Covered in the Workforce
Administration CBT). When time documents for employees are printed,
they reflect the default work and holiday schedule for the position.
|
|
| TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMINOLOGY
2 of 5
Time documents for non-exempt employees contain the default
work and holiday hours by day. Most agencies will not print time
documents for exempt employees. If agencies print time documents
for exempt employees, in most cases, it will only contain holidays
because most exempt employees are tied to positions with blank default
work schedules.
The time document is printed by Department (ID), Pay Period End
Date, Employee ID, and Empl Rcd Nbr. An employee will have a time
document for each position worked.
The FLSA code will assist the timekeeper in ensuring time and leave
reporting rules are followed.
Hours are recorded each day by earnings code.
Employees should total hours reported by earnings code as well as
by the pay period.
Signatures are required on the Time Document. If an employee or
supervisor is not available to provide a signature, make that notation
on the time sheet and get the next level supervisor’s signature.
When the employee and supervisor are available, ask them to date
and sign the document at that time.
|
|
| TIME DOCUMENTS/TIMESHEETS/ AND OTHER TERMNOLOGY
3 of 5
If an employee does not turn in a time document, don’t ‘OK to Process’
the Time Sheet without proper documentation. There are several options
for this situation. The supervisor or timekeeper may wish to ask
the employee for the time document. If the employee is not available
due to illness, the supervisory may wish to sign the time document
and ask the employee to sign it when he/she returns. Agencies may
have other procedures to follow when this type of situation arises.
State agencies that plan to interface time and leave information
with SHARP must receive prior approval from the Department of Administration.
The Department of Transportation, Department of Labor, Department
of Health and Environment, Corporation Commission, Insurance Department,
Department of Revenue, and the Department of Education currently
have approval to interface time and leave.
Time documents are required for non-exempt employees and must be
retained by the agency for at least 5 years.
Most exempt employees will not have a time document. They use leave
slips to request time off.
Approved leave requests must be retained for at least 5 years.
Agencies may continue to use paper or electronic leave request slips.

EARNINGS CODES
Earnings codes are required for each time or leave
entry for non-exempt employees. Earnings codes are required for
exempt employee’s use of leave.
PeopleSoft FLSA calculations require separate leave-type earnings
codes for salaried exempt employees and non-covered employees whose
‘Employee Type’ is ‘Salaried.’
There are earnings codes for vacation leave payout, sick leave payout,
compensatory time payout, and holiday compensatory time payout.
SHARP will automatically calculate the payouts if the eligible employee
transaction that triggers a payout is entered in Job Data prior
to payroll cutoff. Time Keepers will calculate and enter payouts
if the separation is not entered into SHARP in a timely manner.
The payout code may need to be adjusted based on the KPERS membership
date (July 1, 1994) and the dollar amount may need to be adjusted
based on the Retention Incentive Pay Rate Differential (S14) established
in 2006 for certain job codes (in the “N2” family).
Use of the WCE (Workers Comp Hours-Exempt) earnings code will reduce
a salaried employee’s gross pay.
Earnings codes that typically default on the time document include:
REG – regular earns, SF1 – Shift 1, and HDC – holiday credit (or
HDE for exempt and non-covered salaried employees). LGP – Legislative
Daily Pay or BDM – Board Member Daily Pay typically appear for legislators
or board members.

TERMINOLOGY
Time Document: A report containing the employee’s default work schedule
and applicable holidays for the pay period. Employees use the time
document to report time and leave hours (by earnings code and day)
for the period.
Time Sheet: Electronic version of the time document. Also known as
the Time Entry Daily page in PeopleSoft.
Paysheet: A summarized time sheet for payroll. It contains all earnings
information for an employee for the pay period. It also contains any
one-time exceptions such as deductions, taxes, and garnishments.
Earnings Code: Code that defines the different types of earnings and
the characteristics associated with that earnings (i.e. does it add
to taxable gross, what taxes should be withheld, does it count toward
leave accrual [CTLA] or the Fair Labor Standards Act [FLSA], etc.).
Also known as Earnings Type, examples include: vacation leave [VAC/VAE],
regular hours [REG], and compensatory time earned [CME]. There are
separate earnings codes to record leave for exempt employees.
Pay: Exempt employees are paid a bi-weekly rate and non-exempt employees
are paid an hourly rate. |

Reference: K.A.R. 1-9-4
http://da.state.ks.us/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-4
Vacation leave balances are limited to a maximum accrual based on
length of service (see above chart). At the end of the last payroll
period paid in each fiscal year, up to 40 hours of any accrued vacation
leave that exceeds an employee’s maximum accumulation of hours shall
be converted to sick leave (by entering the SLA earnings code and
hours on the timesheet). After this conversion, all remaining vacation
leave over the maximum accumulation of hours shall be forfeited
at the end of the last payroll period paid in that fiscal year.
Therefore, employees must use any vacation accruals over the maximum
by the pay period end date to avoid losing it. Employees are responsible
for monitoring leave overage.
Agencies however, should generate the Vacation Leave Overage Report
(http://da.state.ks.us/sharp/reports/kben354.htm)
to determine who needs up to 40 hours vacation transferred to sick
leave.
Refer to the Vacation Overage Conversion Instructions:

or General Instructions: http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/VacationOvrgGeneral.pdf

Maximum Vacation Leave Accrual Additional Information
2 of 10
Steps the system performs when updating vacation leave balances:
Reduce vacation leave balance by hours used during the pay period.
Reduce vacation leave balances to the maximum, if necessary.
Accrue vacation leave for the period.
If an employee moves from one leave maximum category to another
during this biweekly period, the employee’s maximum accumulation
is the “new” higher maximum, not the “old” lower maximum.
It is important to note that conversion of vacation leave that is
over the maximum (up to 40 hours) is a manual process. Instructions
for this process are provided at:
http://da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/VacationOvrgDetails.pdf
Leave overage amounts are displayed on the employee’s paycheck stub
under ‘AO’. Overage is not listed separately on the Self Service
View Leave Balances page.
Because Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are periodically
revised, please refer to K.A.R. 1-9-4 (Vacations) for the most up
to date information on Vacations: http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-4

| POLICIES
Discretionary Holiday Policy
3 of 10
Eligible employees with 6 months of
continuous service receive a discretionary day each year.
Full time employees receive up to 24 hours while employees working
less than full time receive a proportional number of hours.
Although 24 hours default, per K.A.R. 1-9-2, an employee is allowed
to claim only the number of hours they are regularly scheduled to
work. The timekeeper should report the appropriate number of hours
the employee was regularly scheduled to work on the day the employee
designates as the holiday (up to 24 hours). Regardless of the number
of hours entered, the balance will be reduced to zero after the
final pay calculation has been run. Most State employees will record
8 hours discretionary day.
Discretionary holiday hours must be used at one time; the hours
cannot be split between days. ‘DD’ will appear on the check stub
when the discretionary holiday is available for use. The words Discretionary
Day will appear on the View Leave Balances page. The ‘DD’ or “Discretionary
Day” will not appear if the employee’s discretionary holiday balance
is zero.
Because Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are periodically
revised, please refer to K.A.R. 1-9-2 (Holidays) for the most up
to date information on holidays:
http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-2

Discretionary Holiday Technical Information
4 of 10
PeopleSoft is programmed to award newly hired employees a
discretionary holiday once they have 6 months of continuous service.
However, some scenarios require manual adjustment to the Discretionary
Day leave balance. The Division of Personnel Services can adjust
the balance upon receipt of a request.
1. Some unclassified employees may receive a discretionary
day and some should not. This requires the Discretionary Holiday
balance be manually adjusted to zero.
2. Re-hired employees who have not worked for six continuous months
in their current employment could
incorrectly receive a new discretionary holiday at the beginning
of the new year. In these situations, the Discretionary Holiday
balance must be manually adjusted to zero.
3. Temporary employees who move to a regular position must work
in the regular position 6 continuous months before receiving a Discretionary
Day. However, these employees may incorrectly receive a Discretionary
Day too soon. In these situations, the Discretionary Holiday balance
must be manually adjusted to zero.
4. Prior period adjustments that cross over calendar years may result
in the Discretionary Holiday balance needing manual adjustment.

Leave Without Pay – Up To 30 Days
5 of 10
Leave without pay for a time period less than or equal to
30 days is handled through the time and leave entry process.
If a non-exempt employee is on leave without pay for only a portion
of the pay period, do not record time or leave on the days the employee
is absent. Since non-exempt employees are paid hourly, they will
not receive payment for the time they are away from work.
If an exempt employee is on leave without pay for a portion of the
pay period, you should record the hours on leave using the LWP (leave
without pay) earnings code. LWP is considered a negative earnings
code that will cause the employee’s pay to be prorated based on
the days of leave without pay. LWP for exempt employees should be
recorded in full day increments.
If the leave without pay is for the entire pay period, delete any
rows that default in and do not OK to Process the record. Save the
changes. No record will be sent to payroll and no detail will be
stored. The employee will not receive a paycheck for the period. |
|
| POLICIES
Leave Without Pay - More Than 30 Days
6 of 10
Leave without pay for over 30 days is handled through employee
data maintenance. An action code of Leave of Absence (LOA), with
the appropriate reason code, should be entered in Job Data. The
leave without pay action will inactive the timesheet create process
if the effective date is prior to the beginning of the pay period.
Refer to the Workforce
Administration and Compensation CBT for information on entering
Job Data changes.
Because Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are periodically
revised, please refer to K.A.R. 1-9-6 (Leave Without Pay) for the

Shared Leave Recipient Conditions
7 of 10
Once it is determined that an employee is eligible to receive
shared leave, the following conditions must be met:
1. The Shared Leave recipient must exhaust all paid
leave available for use, including vacation leave, sick leave, compensatory
time, holiday compensatory time, and discretionary day. For example,
the leave balance for a non-exempt employee receiving shared leave
cannot be .25 or above. For an exempt, the leave balance cannot
be 4 hours or above.
2. The employee has at least six months of continuous service.
|
|
| POLICIES
Shared Leave Recipient Addition Information
8 of 10
The maximum number of hours of shared leave that may be used
by an employee shall be the total hours that the employee would
regularly be scheduled to work during a six-month period.
Shared leave may be applied retroactively for a maximum of two pay
periods proceeding the date the employee signed the shared leave
request form. |
|
POLICIES
Shared Leave Donors
9 of 10 An employee shall be eligible to donate vacation
leave or sick leave to another employee if these conditions are
met.
1. The donation of vacation leave does not cause
the accumulated vacation leave balance of the donating employee
be less than 80 hours, unless the employee donates vacation leave
at the time of separation from state service.
2. The donation of sick leave does not cause the accumulated sick
leave balance of the donating employee to be less than 480 hours,
unless the employee donates sick leave at the time of separation
from state service.
3. If the employee is retiring from state service and receiving
compensation for sick leave upon retirement, the donated sick leave
consists only of the accumulated sick leave in excess of the applicable
minimum accumulation amount required for eligibility for a sick
leave payout.
Any unused portion of the shared leave shall be prorated among all
donating employees based on the original amount and type of donated
leave. Shared leave shall not be returned to donating employees in
increments of less than one full hour or to any person who has left
state service. NOTE: Hours that
are needed to provide for sick leave payout for a retiring employee
may not be donated to a shared leave recipient. For example, if a
retiring 10 year employee has a sick balance of 808 hours and wants
to be paid out for 240 hours, the employee can donate 8 hours, not
560 hours, to shared leave. Refer to K.S.A. 75-5517 and Bulletin 03-02

| LEAVE PLANS FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
1 of 6
Time and leave entry involves recording time and leave in
a daily format utilizing the standard time reporting document. The
format provides detailed time and leave records for FLSA compliance.
Non-exempt employees are paid an hourly rate. Hours are reported
in quarter hour (.25) increments. The number of hours reported determines
the amount of a non-exempt employee’s paycheck.
Non-exempt employees accrue sick leave based on the hours worked
during the pay period that count toward leave accrual.
Non-exempt employees accrue vacation leave based on the hours worked
during the pay period that count toward leave accrual and the employee’s
length of service.

Actual Hours Worked Versus Hours Scheduled
5 of 6
Non-exempt employees report actual hours worked each day rather
than hours scheduled to work. If hours worked differ from the hours
defaulted on the time document, non-exempt employees only enter
the deviations on the time document – exception time reporting.
Reporting actual hours worked each day provides better information
for management reporting. |
|
| LEAVE PLANS FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Reporting Leave Based on Work Scheduled
6 of 6
Non-exempt employees need to report leave based on hours scheduled
to work for leave purposes in order to maintain in pay status hours
for the period.
A day of vacation or sick leave should equal the time scheduled
to work that day.
|
|
| LEAVE PLANS FOR EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Time Reporting Points
1 of 3
Generally, all exempt employees should be full-time.
Because exempt employees are paid a bi-weekly rate, they are only
required to record leave. Exempt employees record vacation, sick,
holiday compensatory time taken, or shared leave in half-day increments.
Split time should be recorded as a total. For example, if an exempt
employee is away from work for two hours in the morning and two
hours in the afternoon, the time away from work is considered a
half day of vacation, sick leave, or similar leave.
Supervisors manage employee leave requests. For example, if an employee
who has been abusing the policy asks to be off work for 2 hours
to run an errand, the leave request can be denied, or the supervisor
can ask the employee to take and report a ½ day off instead.
Although it is not required, agencies do have the option of reporting
time for exempt employees for labor distribution purposes, but the
time reported must be for actual hours worked. Entering actual hours
worked (REG) into timesheets will have no impact on pay for exempt
employees.
Exempt employees who fall within the “N2” job class and are paid
the Retention Incentive Pay Rate Differential (S14) should record
actual hours worked and paid leave taken by day using the S14 earnings
code.

PeopleSoft FLSA calculation requires distinction between exempt
and non-exempt employees. Separate sick leave earnings codes are
recorded for exempt employees.
The exempt sick leave accrual plan is based on an employee’s time
in-pay-status per pay period. It is an all or nothing actual. If
exempt employees are in pay status at any time in the period, they
will receive full leave accrual.

http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-4
Vacation earning levels are based on an employee’s years of service
and time in-pay-status per pay period.
PeopleSoft FLSA calculation requires distinction between exempt
and non-exempt, so separate vacation leave earnings codes are recorded
for exempt employees.
Exempts earn all or nothing in accrual. Employees who are in pay
status any time in the period will accrue the maximum number of
hours based on their years of service.

| WORK SCHEDULE TABLE
1 of 5
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson
is to view work schedules.
Navigation: Setup HRMS > Foundation Tables
> Organization > Work Schedule
Connections: Work schedules are recorded
on the Kansas Information page of Position Data and are used to
create default time sheets. Work Schedules can also be viewed on
the Kansas Information page in Job Data.
Important Notes: Work schedules define
the FLSA period and the number of hours per day a position is scheduled
to work. The schedule will default to the employee who occupies
the position. This approach makes it possible for exception time
reporting. Employees only report deviations from the default work
schedule. All employees must be attached to a default work schedule.
DO NOT ATTACH A NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEE TO THE EXMT WORK SCHEDULE .
Doing so will void the FLSA edits.
|
|
| WORK SCHEDULE TABLE
Default Work Schedule - Non-Exempt
2 of 5
1. Non-exempt employees who work the
same hours on the same days each week should be attached to a default
work schedule that corresponds to their hours of work. (For example,
an employee who works 8 hours Monday through Friday without shift
hours will have 8MF1 as the default work schedule.)
2. Non-exempt employees who work fluctuating
hours on varying days should be attached to a positive time reporting
schedule. The time sheet will not have a default earnings type or
hours associated with the earnings type. The timekeeper will enter
all hours worked for the period.
3. A non-exempt employee should not be attached
to an EXMT work schedule. Doing so will void the FLSA edits.
4. Non-exempt employees whose FLSA threshold
is 40 hours per week, should not be attached to the following work
schedules: DOA3, DOA4, HP81, HP82, P2FB, PS2F. Doing so will result
in incorrect FLSA edits.
|
|
| WORK SCHEDULE TABLE
Default Work Schedule - Exempt
3 of 5
1. Exempt employees should be attached
to a blank default work schedule such as EXMT. The time sheet will
not have a default earnings type or hours associated with the earnings
type. The time keeper will enter non-regular hours such as leave
or pay. If you want a blank time document to print for an exempt
employee each time you print time documents, attach the employee
to the PS1A default work schedule.
2. Exempt employees can be attached to a
default work schedule that contains Regular hours if the agency
is tracking hours for labor distribution purposes. Actual hours
worked must be recorded in this case. |

Purpose: The purpose of this lesson
is to learn how to lookup holiday schedules.
Navigation: Setup HRMS > Foundation Tables
> Organization > Holiday Schedule
Timing: Anytime you need to view detailed
holiday schedule information.
Connections: Holiday schedules are recorded
on the Payroll page in Job Data and are used to default holiday
credit on a time sheet.
Important Notes: Holiday schedules define
the date the holiday is officially observed and the number of hours
of holiday credit to be received by employees. If a holiday is effective
during the pay period, the information from the holiday schedule
will override the information from the default work schedule on
the time entry pages and employee time documents. All employees
should be attached to a holiday schedule. Classified temporary employees
should be attached to the PSTV holiday schedule..

| ADD A TIMESHEET
1 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to learn how to add an electronic timesheet for an employee.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Maintain Employee
Timesheet (Click on the “Add a Timesheet” folder tab)
Timing: It is necessary to add a timesheet
when an employee is hired or transferred to a different department/agency
after timesheets have been created by the system. Timesheets, the electronic
version of a time document, are generated automatically during the evening
of the first day of a new pay period for all active employees.
Important Notes: If an employee doesn’t
have a timesheet, hours or leave cannot be entered into Time and Leave.
When you add the timesheet, you can enter the default work hours or leave
the hours blank. You can turn on the OK to Process? Checkbox if you have
entered the actual hours/leave taken for the employee. You can also print
the time document once the timesheet has been added.
The following information is needed when adding a new timesheet:
Department
Pay Period End Date
EmplID
Empl Rcd Nbr

| TIME AND LEAVE DATA ENTRY
The Basics of Current Period Time and Leave Entry
2 of 26
The time entry default is “not to pay.” Agencies
must specify that an employee’s timesheet is “OK to
Process,” or a paycheck will not be generated for the employee.
Agencies can “OK to Process” all timesheets associated
with a department or by individual employee.
Time and leave can be reported by employee or by department.
Time and leave information is captured at a daily level. Although
it is not required that agencies enter time and leave information
on a daily basis, entering time and leave information throughout
the pay period may reduce the work effort required during cut-off.
Pay periods begin on Sunday and end on Saturday.
On-line users can enter time and leave throughout the period.
No entries or updates can be made after the final pay calculation
(usually the first Friday following the end of the pay period).
Any changes that need to be made after Final Pay Calculation executes
must be done through the adjustment process.
Edit programs run each night during cut-off to assist users in
error detection. Results of these programs are found on the Interface
Errors Messages or the Time Entry Errors Messages page.
Errors can be corrected prior to the pay check creation; reducing
the number of adjustments.
If the time keeper has access to the Maintain Payroll Data U.S.
window, results of the preliminary pay calculation may be viewed
on-line on the Paycheck Earnings page. To access this page, select
menu items in the following order: Home>Payroll for North America>Payroll
Processing USA>Produce Payroll>Review Paycheck. This is covered
in the Payroll CBT.

| TIME AND LEAVE DATA ENTRY
Key Edits & Error Messages - Online Entry Process
3 of 26
| Exempt employees cannot be on leave without pay due to suspension
for a partial work week (it must be in 7 day increments). Typically,
exempt employees cannot be on leave without pay (LWP) for a
partial day (although a few exceptions do exist). When in question,
reference the FLSA Bulletin http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/bulletins/
or consult with the State of Kansas FLSA contact.
Hours worked cannot exceed the FLSA limit for non-exempt
employees. Compensatory time and overtime cannot be reported
until the FLSA limit is met for non-exempt employees. For
most non-exempt employees, this means the CME and OTP earnings
codes are entered later in the week, once the employee has
reached 40 hours worked.
Additional Regular hours can only be reported when the appropriate
conditions are met for non-exempt employees.
PeopleSoft will not allow time entry on days the employee
is not active. Non-exempt employees will only be paid for
hours entered on days the employee is active. Exempt employees
will only be paid for days they are active.

Time Entry Error Messages
4 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to learn how to identify time and leave errors prior to the
final pay calculation. These records will not be processed
by payroll because they did not pass the edits in the edit
program. The specific reason the record did not pass the edits
is listed on the page. These errors should be corrected prior
to final pay calculation.
Navigation: Time and Leave > View Time
Entry Errors
Timing: Correct current period time and
leave prior to the final pay calculation (generally the Friday
following the pay period end date).
Important Notes: It is important that you
enter time and leave accurately so an employee’s paycheck
is correct.
Timekeepers generally have a total of five working days after
the pay period end date to enter and correct time and leave
information prior to final pay calculation. Any entries made
prior to final pay calculation will be reflected on the employees
pay check.
The Time and Leave Edits program, that edits T&L detail,
generally runs each night from the pay period end date to
final pay calculation.
The T&L program creates an error file for each agency.
Errors that are corrected will not appear in the error file
the following day. Uncorrected errors will remain in the error
file.
Error messages affecting an error detected by the system
on the day of final pay calculation (generally a Friday) may
be viewed by agencies Saturday – Monday only.
The error file can be viewed using the Time Entry –
Errors page.
Payroll Errors: Preliminary Pay Calculation
provides payroll personnel an opportunity to detect and correct
errors prior to final pay calculation. Preliminary Pay Calculation
generally runs the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th night of the tie and
leave entry period. Preliminary Pay Calculation produces a
preliminary payroll register. The preliminary payroll register
can be checked each day that payroll affecting entries are
made. Corrections identified using the preliminary payroll
register may or may not involve time and leave entry updates.
Employee payroll data may be viewed on-line by accessing
the Paycheck Data page or by viewing a Preliminary Payroll
Register located in Core FTP (covered in the Payroll CBT).
Error Messages listed on the Time Entry Errors page could
include, but are not limited to the following:
Error 1: Overtime/Comp Time hours
should not be recorded until employee reaches their FLSA Threshold.
7. This error is produced when you record overtime or compensatory
time earned prior to the employee reaching the 40 hour FLSA
threshold. For example, if a non-exempt employee worked Mon
10 hrs, Tue 10 hrs, Wed 8 hrs, Thu 8 hrs, Fri 8 hours (44
hours worked) and the employee wants to receive overtime,
it would should be recorded on the timesheet and in SHARP
as follows: Mon 10 REG, Tue 10 REG, Wed 8 REG, Thu 8 REG,
Fri 4 REG and 4 OTP.
Error 2: Hours reported during
days when employee not active in department. An error may
occur if you do not delete any hours from a Time Sheet for
days an employee is not active in your department. For example,
if an employee works only Monday and Tuesday of the first
week and then terminates, you must delete the hours that may
have defaulted for that employee for the rest of the pay period.
Once that is done, the Termination Action can be entered in
the Job Data pages. If the termination action was entered
prior to being able to delete the hours, you can access the
active Time Sheet and delete the rows of data, save the page,
then access it again and enter the time and leave.
Error 3: Earnings code not valid
for this employee. A non-exempt earnings code was entered
for an exempt employee or vice versa. This error can occur
if the FLSA Status of the employee was changed AFTER the earnings
code was entered on the timesheet or through the T&L Interface.
Error 4: Employee not in department.
The timesheet is in the wrong department. This error can occur
when the Department ID is changed AFTER the timesheet was
created or the wrong Department ID was sent through the T&L
Interface.
Error 5: Data entered for earnings
type not valid. This is usually the result of an interfaced
leave. Dollars were entered instead of hours or vice versa.
Error 6: Hours reported not between
0 and 24 or not in quarter hour increments. This is usually
the result of an interfaced leave. Negative hours or hours
greater than 24 were entered.
Error 7: Insufficient Military Leave
balance. Military leave was recorded and the balance does
not cover the hours recorded on the timesheet.
Error 8: Insufficient Sick Leave
balance. Sick leave was recorded and the balance does not
cover the hours recorded on the timesheet.
Error 9: Insufficient Vacation
Leave balance. Vacation leave was recorded and the balance
does not cover the hours recorded on the timesheet.
Error 10: Insufficient Discretionary
Day balance. This error may appear for on-line users when
the discretionary holiday is reported in two consecutive periods
prior to the accrual process running for the prior period.
Error 11: Leave hours reported
for exempt employee not in half-day increments. One-half or
full day hours were not recorded for Sick Leave, Vacation
Leave, Shared Leave, or Holiday Compensatory Time Taken.
The Search Results area lists all errors that pertain to
the individual listed. Errors are viewed at the employee and
pay period end date level. |

INTERFACE ERROR MESSAGES (Applicable to T& L Interface Agencies
Only)
5 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to learn how to identify time and leave errors prior to the
final pay calculation. These records will not be processed
by payroll because they did not pass the interface error edits.
The specific reason the record did not pass the edits is listed
on the page. These errors should be corrected prior to final
pay calculation.
Navigation: Time and Leave > View Interface
Errors
Timing: Correct current period time and
leave prior to the final pay calculation (The file is usually
sent on Sunday or Monday of payroll calculation week; therefore
interface error messages are generally viewable Monday or
Tuesday).
Important Notes: It is important that you
enter time and leave accurately so an employee’s paycheck
is correct.
The T&L program creates an error file for each interface
agency.
Employees who are responsible for submitting a clean interface
should check the error file to ensure all records submitted
were accepted by SHARP.
Only error free records will be submitted to the time and
leave edit program.
Error Messages listed on the page could include, but
are not limited to the following:
Error 1: Earnings code not valid
for this employee. A non-exempt earnings code was entered
for an exempt employee or vice versa. This error can occur
if the FLSA Status of the employee was changed AFTER the earnings
code was entered on the timesheet or through the T&L Interface.
Error 2: Employee not in department.
The timesheet is in the wrong department. This error can occur
when the Department ID is changed AFTER the timesheet was
created or the incorrect Department ID was sent on the T&L
Interface.
Error 3: Data entered for earnings
type not valid. Dollars were entered instead of hours or vice
versa.
Error 4: Non-current pay period
records cannot be interfaced. The interface file includes
the wrong Pay Period End Date.

Timesheet
Timing: Time and leave is entered each pay period
for employees who have worked or taken leave.
Important Notes: It is important that you enter
time and leave accurately so an employee’s paycheck is correct.
Additionally, do not record compensatory time earned until an employee
has met his or her FLSA threshold (Usually 40 hours). Most non-exempt
employee’s do not earn compensatory time by day, but rather
once they work 40 hours in a week. Once the employee has worked
the 40 hours, then, we can record compensatory time earned.
Click the link below to view the movie. It will allow you to practice
entering time for an employee who earned compensatory time in week

Leave Payouts
13 of 26
| Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to
learn how to view leave payouts for an employee who has retired.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Maintain
Employee Timesheet
Timing: It is important to enter the retirement
action in Job Data prior to the cut-off date (typically the
Tuesday following the pay period end date). It is also important
to record any time worked or leave taken before the cut-off
date. If these actions are taken prior to the cut-off date,
the payouts will automatically default into timesheets and
the timekeeper would simply verify the defaults and time worked
or leave taken, turn on the OK to Process? checkbox and save.
Important Notes: It is important that you
enter time and leave accurately so an employee’s paycheck
is correct. Note the importance of entering the information
timely (see Timing section above). Compensatory Time payouts
default for employees transferring to a new three digit agency.
See K.A.R. 1-9-14 Transfer of Leave Credits for exceptions.
Be sure to turn on the OK to Process? checkbox so the information
goes through the payroll process.
The page print below will allow you view leave payouts for
an employee who retired and whose retirement action was entered
in Job Data prior to the cutoff date. Entry of leave payouts
is automatic if the retirement action is entered prior the

OK to Process Department Timesheets page
14 of 26
| Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to
learn how to enter and “OK to Process?” time for
the entire department from one location.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Maintain
Department Timesheet
Timing: Once time is entered for all employees
in the department, you can come to one page to turn on the
OK to Process? checkbox for all employees in that department.
If some employees should not be processed, you can turn off
their OK to Process? checkbox from this page as well.
Important Notes: It is important that you
only OK to Process? those employees who should be paid.
Use the OK to Process Department page to view and “OK
to Process?” time and leave records for all employees
within a department. This page is particularly useful to quickly
OK to Process? groups of employees within a department who
have no time and leave entry updates.
An alternative way to turn on the OK to Process checkbox
for all employees is to use the Department – Report
functionality, which is covered in another section.
Turning on the OK to Process Department? checkbox will indicate
that a payroll record should be created for each employee
in the department using the detail information. There is only
one OK to Process indicator per employee record. It does not
matter which page you turn the OK to Process check box on
(checkmark) or off (no checkmark), the record will reflect
the most recent action taken.
The OK to Process checkbox on the Time Entry Daily and Time
Entry Summary pages both have the same value for the OK to
Process checkbox as on the OK to Process Department page.
You can turn the OK to Process Department checkbox off (no
checkmark), but all individual employee Process? check boxes
will remain on (checkmark). You can then turn the Process?
checkbox off (no checkmark) for selected employees.
In addition to viewing and approving time and leave data
for an individual employee, this page may be used to view
and approve time and leave data for an entire department.
An agency can view total hours for the pay period from this
page instead of time and leave detail. If the total hours
are correct for the department, it is possible to approve
the time and leave data using the OK to Process Department
page.

OK Timesheets By Department Report (KTEC029)
15 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to learn
how to turn on the OK to Process? checkbox for all timesheets in a
specified department by generating a report (KTEC029). A paper document
is not produced.
Navigation: Time and Leave > OK Timesheets
by Department
Timing: Once time is entered for all employees
in the department, you can run a report (KTEC029) that will turn
on the OK to Process? checkbox for all employees in that department
(a paper report is not generated). If some employees should not
be processed, you can turn off their OK to Process? checkbox on
their individual timesheets.
Important Notes: You can use this process for
any department, regardless of size. We recommend you generate the
Department Totals Report (KTEC028) after generating the KTEC029
report. The KTEC028 report is an hour summary of the time entered
on timesheets for a specific pay period. The KTEC028 lists all employees
within the department that have a timesheet. The report will indicate

Leave Balances
17 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to understand and view the Leave Accrual page.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Manage Leave
Accruals > Review Accrual Balances NOTE: Because Leave
Accrual is a PeopleSoft delivered page, when you access an
employee’s Leave Accrual, the navigation will switch
to “Benefits > Manage Leave Accruals > Review
Accrual Balances”
Timing: Leave balances may be viewed on
the Leave Accrual page within Time and Leave for 1 month based
on accrual date. If the accrual date is over 30 or 31 days
old, it can be viewed in the Leave Accruals Work – History
page and is considered history records. At least one year
worth of leave records can be viewed on-line by accessing
the Leave Accruals – Work History page. The history
page is covered in the next section.
Important Notes: SHARP determines leave
accrual rates and maintains leave balances based on leave
plans. SHARP has leave plans for any benefit that “accrues”
or has a “limit” or “balance” that
must be maintained. There are leave plans defined for sick
leave, vacation leave, discretionary day, compensatory time,
holiday compensatory time, military leave, and shared leave.
Agencies should monitor employee compensatory leave balances.
Currently, SHARP stops the compensatory time accrual at 240
hours. Agencies may impose other balance limits below 240
hours.
SHARP will automatically enroll employees who follow the
provisions of Executive Order No. 04-13 in the appropriate
leave plans. This includes new hires as well as current employees
who move from one leave plan to another due to length of service
increase (vacation leave) or FLSA status change from hourly
to salaried.
If an employee’s length of service changes in the middle
of a pay period, and that employee is now eligible for a higher
accrual, the employee will receive the entire accrual at the
higher rate for the entire pay period.
Agencies who have unclassified employees who do not follow
the provisions of Executive Order No. 04-13 may have leave
plans with different accrual, usage, and balance rules from
those for classified employees. Agencies are responsible for
maintaining leave balances for some unclassified employees.
Agencies are able to adjust leave balances by correcting
the error which caused the leave balance to be incorrect.
If the balance cannot be corrected by the non-pay affecting
leave adjustment process, the balance must be corrected by
the Division of Personnel Services.
Incorrect time and leave entry can cause employee leave balances
to be incorrect. For example, if vacation leave was reported
instead of sick leave.
The agency can correct the employee’s leave balance
through the pay-affecting adjustment, supplemental, or non-pay
affecting leave adjustment process. In this case, two entries
are needed. One to negate the incorrect leave reported, and
the other to indicate the proper leave.
Adjusting time and leave records through the pay-affecting
adjustment process may result in an increase or decrease of
hours in pay status. For example, 80 hours were reported for
the pay period, but only 72 should have been reported. The
employee would have accrued the maximum vacation and sick
leave allowed – the leave accrual should have been prorated
based on hours in pay status. The pay-affecting adjustment
process will automatically correct the leave balances due
to an increase or decrease in leave accrual (a change in CTLA),
but the non-pay affecting adjustment process will not.
For terminated employees, the top row of leave accrual data
remains in the Leave Accrual page and is not archived to the
Leave Accruals Work – History page.
Data stored in the Leave Accrual page can be updated or corrected
by those who have security to do so. Agencies have view only
access to leave accruals.
If there is a change in the amount of leave accrual an employee
should earn due to a manual adjustment, the correction to
the employee’s leave balance will need to be made by
the Division of Personnel Services. Leave balances need to
be adjusted centrally in the case of rehires. If the rehire
is not a reinstatement or re-employment or if the employee
is rehired after being away from State service for one year,
the employee’s sick leave balance will need to be changed
to zero. A request can be submitted to the Division of Personnel
Services.
Only employees who have an Active status will process through
the leave accrual batch program. If an employee’s status
is leave of absence (viewable on Job Data) when leave accrual
processes (generally the Friday, final pay calculation night),
the employee will not process through accrual. In these situations,
you should contact the Division of Personnel Services (SHARP
Corrections Unit) to request the leave balance be increased
by the leave accrual amount.
Due to coding change to prevent any check that had total
gross, total taxes, total deductions and net pay equal to
zero from processing through payroll, if an employee has workers
compensation hours (WCH or WCE) only recorded on a timesheet,
the timesheet will not process through the leave accrual batch
program. For example, if the timesheet lists only WCH 43 or
WCE 43 without any other codes that would add to gross pay,
such as REG, SCK, WSL, etc., then the timesheet will not process
through payroll, nor the batch leave accrual program. The
employee is entitled to accrual hours based on the hours associated
with the WCH or WCE code in accordance with the vacation and
sick leave accrual tables (www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-4
and http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-5).
In these situations, you should contact the SHARP Corrections
Unit to request the leave balance be increased by the leave
accrual amount.
In some situations, an employee’s accrual may be higher
than what it should be. This might occur if, for example,
an employee records less than 80 hours in pay status in conjunction
with an earnings code that has a multiplication factor of
1.5. It is possible the accrual might be overinflated by the
hours recorded using the 1.5 earnings code and cause the employee
to fall into a higher accrual category. In these very rare
cases, contact the SHARP Corrections Unit to request the leave
balance be adjusted.
Agencies can view leave balances on-line or retrieve and
print the BEN007 (Leave Accrual Report) using File Transfer
Protocol software such as WS_FTP or Core_FTP. The on-line
Leave Accrual Report (KBEN007) can be generated within Time
and Leave and provides up to the minute leave balance information.
The BEN007 report produces both a .pdf file and a .dat file.
The .dat file can be downloaded into Excel.

| Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to learn how to enter a non-pay affecting leave adjustment.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Adjust Employee
Timesheet
Timing: Non-pay affecting adjustments can
be made anytime after the final pay calculation of the timesheet
being adjusted.
Important Notes: It is important that you
adjust time and leave accurately so an employee’s leave
is correct.
The Adjustment Daily page is used to correct time and leave
information after an earnings adjustment has been requested.
For the Time and Leave CBT, we use this page for non pay affecting
adjustments. In order to enter a pay affecting adjustment,
the request must be made within the Payroll module first.
For a non pay affecting adjustment, access the Adjustment
Daily page without requesting an adjustment.
Agencies can only request one pay affecting adjustment per
pay check. If an agency needs to make more than one pay affecting
adjustment, the agency must contact Accounts and Reports.
Multiple non pay affecting adjustments can be made to a paycheck.
Pay affecting leave adjustments involving discretionary holidays
may require the assistance of DPS.
Make a copy of the top row of the Leave Accrual page for
each leave type being adjusted prior to and following a non
pay affecting leave adjustment for complete documentation.
If an agency needs to make more than one pay affecting adjustment,
the agency must contact Accounts and Reports.
Agencies are responsible for coordinating time and leave
updates between the time keepers and payroll entry personnel
to ensure accurate time and leave records.
NOTE: An ‘L’ will be displayed under the ‘Adj’
column on the Time Sheet when a row has been added as a non
pay affecting leave adjustment. This is visible after you
save the page.
NOTE: The following warning message will display when saving
a non pay affecting adjustment: ‘Warning – This
classifies as a non paying adjustment and no paycheck will
be generated. [21000,6].’ This warning is to inform
you that you are conducting a non pay affecting leave adjustment.
When you click OK, the message will disappear and the page
will be saved.

ended, and a week later the employee reviewed her leave balances.
After looking at her leave detail, the employee noticed that
she should have entered 8 hours sick leave on her leave slip
instead of 8 hours vacation leave. Because the pay period
has already passed, you need to enter a prior period leave
correction.

Shared Leave
22 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to view shared leave requests, donations, and return information.
Navigation: Home > Benefits > Enroll
In Benefits > Maintain Shared Leave Requests
Timing: Information on the Shared Leave
page can be viewed anytime during system availability. Leave
donated prior to the end of the fiscal year or for employees
leaving state service should be submitted to DPS for entry
well in advance of the final pay calculation in order for
the information to be entered in a timely manner.
Important Notes: There are three sections
to the Shared Leave page. The outer section of the page identifies
the different effective dates of a shared leave request. The
middle section identifies each person who donated leave. The
inner section identifies the type of leave donated.
Eligible employees wishing to receive or donate Shared Leave
must do so in compliance with Kansas Administrative Regulation
(K.A.R.) 1-9-23 (Shared Leave). Much of the information below
is extracted from K.A.R. 1-9-23. The information listed below
is not all-inclusive.
Once it is determined an employee is eligible to receive
Shared Leave, the following conditions must be met:
1. The Shared Leave recipient must have exhausted all paid
leave available for use, including vacation leave, sick leave,
compensatory time, holiday compensatory time and the employee’s
discretionary holiday. For example, the leave balance for
a non-exempt employee receiving shared leave cannot be at
.25 or above. For an exempt, the leave balance cannot be at
4 hours or above.
2. The employee has at least six continuous months of service,
pursuant to K.A.R. 1-2-46.
Shared leave may be used only for the duration of the serious,
extreme, or life-threatening illness, injury, impairment,
or physical or mental condition for which it was collected.
The maximum number of hours of shared leave that may be used
by an employee shall be the total hours that the employee
would regularly be scheduled to work during a six-month period.
Shared leave may be applied retroactively for a maximum of
two pay periods preceding the date the employee signed the
shared leave request form.
Any unused portion of the shared leave shall be prorated
among all donating employees based on the original amount
and type of donated leave and returned to those employees
within two pay periods of the date on which it is determined
that the employee receiving the donated leave is no longer
eligible for shared leave. Shared leave shall not be returned
to donating employees in increments of less than one full
hour or to any person who has left state service. Return confirmation
letters are generated centrally through SHARP.
Agencies forward approved shared leave requests, donations,
and unused shared leave hours to the Division of Personnel
Service for entry into SHARP. Agencies have view access to
the Shared Leave Requests page for the purpose of determining
the current status of requests.
The sick or vacation hours donated from one employee to another
appear under the ‘Adjusted Year-to-Date’ field
of the Leave Accrual page. The hours donated will not display
in the donor’s ‘Taken Year-to-Date’ field.
Shared leave taken for exempt employees is entered in full
or half day increments.
An employee shall be eligible to donate vacation leave or
sick leave to another employee if these conditions are met:
(A) The donation of vacation leave does not cause the accumulated
vacation leave balance of the donating employee to be less
than 80 hours, unless the employee donates vacation leave
at the time of separation from state service.
(B) The donation of sick leave does not cause the accumulated
sick leave balance of the donating employee to be less than
480 hours, unless the employee donates sick leave at the time
of separation from state service.
(C) If the employee is retiring from state service and receiving
compensation for sick leave upon retirement, the donated sick
leave consists only of the accumulated sick leave in excess
of the applicable minimum accumulation amount required for
eligibility for a sick leave payout in accordance with K.S.A.
75-5517, and amendments thereto.
Shared Leave Request and Donation forms may be obtained from
the following website: http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/default.htm.
Select the Shared Leave Request or Donation form.
Because K.A.R.’s are periodically revised, please refer
to K.A.R. 1-9-23 (Shared Leave) at the following website for
the most up to date information on shared leave: http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-23.
If an agency is processing a prior period shared leave adjustment,
ensure the top row of vacation and sick leave balances are
below .25 (non-exempts) or 4.0 (exempts). In rare cases, the
shared leave information may not be entered in time for a
current period adjustment. (For example, if the employee was
eligible to use shared leave for pay period ending 12/15/07,
but the shared leave information had not been entered until
after the pay period end date, the employee may have accrued
leave since that time). A request would then need to be submitted
to DPS to temporarily reduce the sick and vacation balances
to below .25 (non-exempts) or below 4.0 (exempts). Once the
off-cycle runs and the employee is paid for the shared leave,
the balances can be restored.

Workers Compensation Current Period Report
23 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to
learn how to generate the Workers Compensation Notification Report.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Reports > Workers
Comp Notification
Timing: This report should be generated the day
of final pay calculation to see if any employees in your department
are receiving a wage replacement from the State Self Insurance Fund.
You may, however, generate this report at anytime the system is
available. The information is interfaced from RiskMaster (The State
Self Insurance Fund system) to SHARP every work day except for the
final pay calculation night (usually every other Friday). The report
is a reflection of the (non-exempts and hourly non-covered employees)
and WCE (exempts and salaried non-covered employees) codes and hours
as they display on the timesheets (whether the code was interfaced
or entered manually directly on the timesheet).
Important Notes: It is important that you adjust
time and leave based on the results of the report to avoid an overpayment
to the employee.
Each pay period (preferably on the day of final pay calculation)
timekeepers should generate the Workers Compensation Notification
Report to see if any employees within the department are receiving
a workers compensation wage replacement.
This report is a cumulative report and reflects the hours equivalent
of all disability payments submitted by the Self Insurance Fund
for the current pay period.
The report is updated daily. If there are no additional payments
for your agency, the report will not contain any additional information.
The report lists the number of hours covered by the wage replacement
using the earnings code WCH (non-exempts and hourly non-covered
employees) and WCE (exempts and salaried non-covered employees).
The WCE displays as hours on the Time Sheet and coverts to a negative
dollar amount on the Pay Sheet. WCE hours will reduce an exempt
and salaried non-covered employee’s gross bi-weekly pay. The
information contained on the report is a reflection of what displays
on SHARP timesheets.
Time keepers should access the timesheets for the employees listed
on the report. The addition of the Workers Compensation Adjustment
information may require adjustments in the employee’s time
and leave reported for the period. See the WORKERS COMPENSATION
– CURRENT PERIOD TIMESHEET ADJUSTMENTS section for more information.

Workers Compensation Current Period Timesheet Adjustments
24 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to
learn how to enter a current period workers compensation adjustment.
Navigation: Time and Leave > Maintain Employee
Timesheet
Timing: Enter current period workers compensation
adjustments prior to final pay calculation (generally the Friday
following the pay period end.
Important Notes: When an employee is receiving
a current wage replacement amount from the State Self Insurance
Fund, a workers compensation earnings code (WCH or WCE) and a lump
sum of hours will default into the employee’s current pay
period timesheet. The hours covered by the wage replacement count
towards leave accrual. DO NOT REMOVE THIS CODE OR HOURS
FROM THE EMPLOYEE’S TIMESHEET.
The WCH earnings code is used to report the number of hours covered
by the wage replacement for non-exempt and hourly non-covered employees.
The hours covered by the wage replacement under the WCH earnings
code will not affect a non-exempt and hourly non-covered employees
pay. The number of hours covered by the wage replacement is displayed
in the Total Hrs field.
The WCE earnings code is used to report the number of hours covered
by the wage replacement for exempt and salaried non-covered employees.
The hours covered by the wage replacement under the WCE earnings
code will affect an exempt and salaried non-covered employees pay.
Hours reported using WCE will reduce an exempt and salaried non-covered
employee’s pay.
Time keepers adjust the time and leave detail as needed. It is
at the employee’s discretion whether or not to use accumulated
leave to supplement the wage replacement amount.
If sick or vacation leave is used to supplement WCH or WCE, use
the workers compensation sick leave earnings code (WSL/WSE) or the
workers compensation vacation leave earnings code (WVL/WVE). After
entering these codes and tabbing out, all daily fields are removed
and only the Total Hours field remains. Enter the sick leave usage
as a sum in this field. Do the same with the vacation leave hours.
The hours reported using these codes will reduce the employee’s
sick and vacation leave balances.
Click the link below to view the movie. It will allow you to view
current period workers compensation adjustment. In this example,
the employee chooses to supplement the workers compensation wage
replacement (WCH) with sick (WSL) and vacation leave (WVL). The
WCH is 54.25. Her sick balance is 20.38 hours and her vacation leave
balance is 38.47.

Workers Compensation Prior Period Report
25 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to
be aware that Agencies receive a report (Workers Compensation Adjustments
report [KSIFTEC1]) from the Self Insurance Fund which is notification
that prior period workers compensation adjustments need to be made.
Use this report to know which employee(s) received a wage replacement
for a prior period. Then adjust the prior period timesheet. Pay
affecting adjustments are covered in the Payroll CBT.
Navigation: N/A (The report is mailed/faxed to
the agency).
Timing: The KSIFTEC1 relates to all disability
payments made by the Self Insurance Fund that are for a pay period
other than the current pay period.
Important Notes: : The report contains the following
information for the time keeper to make the adjustment: Department
ID; Employee ID; Employee Record Number; Pay End Date; Earnings
Code; Amount; and Total Hours. Each payment is listed by pay period.
If the adjustment consists of multiple disability payments covering
multiple pay periods, the report contains multiple lines.
If the individual listed on the memo is no longer employed by your
agency, please contact the agency that the employee transferred
to and indicate the individual is no longer employed with your agency.
If you are unsure where the employee transferred, or if the employee
separated from State service completely, contact the State Self
Insurance Fund at 785-296-2364 for further assistance.

Workers Compensation Prior Period Timesheet Adjustments
26 of 26
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is
to learn how to enter a prior period workers compensation
adjustment based on information received from the Workers
Compensation Adjustment Report (KSIFTEC1). Employees listed
on the KSIFTEC1 are receiving a disability payment for time
away from work during a prior pay period.
Navigation: This is a Three Step Process.
Steps 1 and 2 are covered in the Payroll
CBT. This CBT covers Step 3 only.
1. Retrieve the check number of the check
that needs to be adjusted.
• Navigation: Home>Payroll for North America>Payroll
Processing USA>Produce Payroll>Review Paycheck
2. Request the pay affecting adjustment
• Navigation: Home>Payroll for North America>Payroll
Processing USA>Reverse/Adjust Paychecks
3. Enter the adjusted hours or leave in
the T&L Adjustment Daily page
• Administer Workforce > Time and Leave > Use
> Adjustment
Timing: These adjustments are done after
the final pay calculation has been confirmed.
Important Notes: It is likely that sick
leave or vacation leave was reported originally, since the
wage replacement was not reported during the pay period. The
time entered may have accounted for all 80 hours, which may
result in an overpayment since the employee received full
payment from the State as well as partial payment from the
State Self Insurance.
Workers compensation wage replacement earnings codes are
WCE for Exempt and Salaried employees. WCH is used for Non-exempt
and Hourly employees.
Any hours recorded using WCE will reduce an exempt and salaried
non-covered employee’s bi-weekly pay.
If the employee wants to use leave in conjunction with the
wage replacement, the hours of leave used must be reported
using a “workers compensation code” such as those
listed below.
Earnings Codes WSL (Workers Compensation Sick Leave) or WVL
(Workers Compensation Vacation Leave) are used for non-exempt
and hourly employees. WSE (Workers Compensation Sick Leave)
and WVE (Workers Compensation Vacation Leave) are used for
exempt and salaried employees. Leave used while on workers
compensation is not distributed by day.
If the only code being recorded in the adjustment is WCH
or WCE (no leave nor REG recorded on the timesheet), it will
not process through payroll nor the leave accrual process.
In this situation, it is necessary to send a leave accrual
update request to the Department of Administration, Division
of Personnel Services SHARP Correction unit.
If REG or leave is recorded in conjunction with WCH, the
adjustment will process through payroll and the leave accrual
process. In this situation, do not contact the SHARP Correction
unit to update the leave accrual; the system will do it automatically.
A pay-affecting paycheck can only be adjusted once by the
agency. If further adjustments are needed, the agency must
contact Accounts and Reports.
Agencies are responsible for coordinating time and leave
updates between the time keepers and payroll entry personnel
to ensure accurate time and leave records.

| HOLIDAY TIME REPORTING
1 of 6
There are many things to consider when entering time during
a week that contains the holiday. The following information lists
some reminders and helpful tips for entering holiday time. It is
not an all-inclusive list and does not reference every situation.
The information below is intended for employees covered by Kansas
Administrative Regulation K.A.R. 1-9-2 Holidays. For more information
on holidays, you may want to review K.A.R. 1-9-2 which is located
at the following website location: http://da.ks.gov/ps/documents/regs/art-9.htm#1-9-2.
If legislation is passed that affects the way holiday time is entered
on timesheets, agencies will be notified.
- The middle letter of most holiday earned earnings codes represent
whether or not the hours increase an employees gross pay (D) or
holiday compensatory time (C). For example, if you enter HCP 4,
the holiday compensatory time balance will increase by 6 hours
(4*1.5). One exception to the ‘C’ or ‘D’
tip is HCN. HCN increases gross pay, not holiday compensatory
time balances.
- Pay close attention to the FLSA/CTLA figures at the bottom of
the Timesheet. For example: If a non-exempt employee has a 40
hour FLSA threshold, the FLSA figure cannot be greater than 40
for either week.
- To determine if an earnings code will increase gross pay, refer
to the ‘Adds to Gross’ column of the T&L Earnings
Code list located on the SHARP Customer Service Documents web
page http://www.da.ks.gov/sharp/documents/default.htm.
- If you are having difficulty trying to enter time and leave
for someone, try deleting all rows of data on the timesheet and
start over. First enter the holiday credit (such as HDC or HCC)
in the blank row. If you are entering time for a 40 hour per week
FLSA employee, count the hours worked to see if it is over 40.
If there are hours worked over 40, next enter the overtime (OTP)
or comp time earned (CME). If the overtime was not worked on the
holiday, enter the holiday premium pay earnings codes (such as
HDP). Then start toward the beginning of the week by entering
any Regular (REG) hours worked.
The key is to keep the FLSA figure at or below 40. Keep in mind,
if the CTLA figure is below 40, the employee will not receive
full leave accrual for that pay period.
For additional detailed information concerning Holiday Reporting,
refer to the Holiday Bulletin at http://www.da.ks.gov/ps/documents/bulletins/

schedule and worked 10 hours on the holiday. The employee was scheduled
for only 8 hours on the holiday, but at the last minute was asked
to stay for two more hours. The holiday credit remains at 8 hours.
Since the total hours worked during the week are 42 hours, the employee
wants to be paid overtime (not compensatory time).

Click the link below to view the movie. It will allow you to view
a demonstration of entering time for an employee who worked a default
schedule and worked overtime on the holiday. This scenario uses
a pay period that includes a holiday on both Thursday and Friday.
The employee worked 10 hours on both holidays, and reached his FLSA
threshold (40 hrs FLSA) after working part of his shift on Friday,
so holiday compensation is entered on both Thursday and for the
hours worked up to the FLSA threshold on Friday. The remaining hours
worked on Friday (after reaching the FLSA threshold) are recorded
as overtime. Since overtime (OTP) was worked on the holiday, the
employee is entitled to holiday premium compensation at the .5 rate
(HDV or HCV). We will demonstrate how to enter that code as well.

Refer to Bulletin
05-03 Clarification of Holiday Issues and Kansas
Administration Regulation 1-9-2 Holidays for the options available
for exempt employees who work on a holiday as the following movie
is just one example.
In this movie, the exempt employee worked 6 hours on the Thursday
holiday. The agency will change the 8 hours holiday Credit Paid
(HDE) to Holiday Credit Compensatory Time (HCC). This will provide
the exempt employee with one day worth of pay as well as 8 hours
of holiday compensatory time to take at a later date. The agency
has chosen not to provide additional compensate to the exempt employee
for working on the holiday.
