How to Record Comp Time

Published
By

Eligible hourly employees will track their compensatory time balance using their time entry method (web time entry, department time entry, Time Clock Plus, paper time sheet). To use this feature, employees will record two different earning types; one to build the balance and one to use the balance. After each pay period is processed, the employee and their time entry approver can view the new compensatory time balance via Banweb.

Below is how the new compensatory time tracking will be recorded for each of the different time entry methods:

Web Time Entry
The earning type “Comp Time Earned” will be used to accrue (add) hours to the Compensatory Time balance.
The earning type “Comp Time Taken” will be used to reduce (subtract) hours from the Compensatory Time balance.

Time Clock Plus
The job code “Comp Time Earned” will be used to accrue (add) hours to the Compensatory Time balance.
The job code “Comp Time Taken” will be used to reduce (subtract) hours from the Compensatory Time balance.

Department Time Entry
The earnings code 450 will be used to accrue (add) hours to the Compensatory Time balance.
The earnings code 460 will be used to reduce (subtract) hours from the Compensatory Time balance.

Paper Time Sheet

Elimination of Departmental Time Sheets

Published
By

Payroll Services is reorganizing the payroll processes which will change some of the ways timekeepers submit changes for department time sheets. This reorganization process is being done to in order to be more efficient in running the payroll process and to align submitting revised time sheets and reallocations with the normal process for those not on department time.

Beginning with Bi-weekly 06 (March 6, 2022 – March 19, 2022), payroll will be eliminating the process of sending department time sheets. Department timekeepers will be responsible for signing and submitting time sheets and reallocations. Paper time sheets will need to be submitted if there is exception time to report or if any index overrides are needed. If a paper time sheet is not submitted for index overrides, a Reallocation Form will then be needed to make the necessary corrections to the indexes. Exception time includes vacation, sick, personal, parental, holiday, seasonal, and bereavement.

Timekeepers can access Gross Earnings and other reports via Banner 8 as needed.
