An important message from FSU Office of Human Resources

This message has been approved by Christine Conley, Director of Benefits & Leave, for distribution to all Department Representatives.

Department Representatives and Supervisors: Please read the following message in its entirety.

The Veterans Day holiday will be observed on November 10, 2023. The Fall Break and Thanksgiving holidays occur November 22-24, 2023. This guidance applies to Pay Period 'K,' which includes November 10, 22 and 23. The final day of the holiday, Friday, November 24, occurs in a different Pay Period and is not reflected in this guidance. The payroll processing schedule<https://hr.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/upcbnu2186/files/PDF/Publications/timeandleave/Alternate%20Payroll%20Schedule%20K.pdf> for Pay Period 'K' is accelerated.

To be paid for the holiday, USPS, A&P, Executive Service (AEX), and Faculty employees should be in pay status (either working or on approved leave) for at least a portion of the scheduled workday before the holiday.

  *   Full-time employees receive 8 hours of leave for holidays. Part-time employees receive a proportionate number of holiday leave hours based on their FTE.
     *   Example - While a 1.0 FTE employee gets 8 hours of paid holiday leave for each day, a 0.75 FTE employee would get 6 hours of paid holiday leave.
  *   If you have employees on alternate schedules (full-time or part-time), they should be advised to work the appropriate hours for the workweek of November 10 - November 16 and November 17 - November 23, 2023, based on the amount of holiday leave they receive for the holiday.

Reporting Veterans Day Holiday for the workweek of November 10 - 16 and Reporting Fall Holiday and Thanksgiving Day Holiday for the workweek of November 17 - 23:

Elapsed Timesheet

  1.  DO NOT ENTER TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY for A&P, AEX, USPS, or Faculty employees using the elapsed timesheet.
  2.  The OMNI HR elapsed timesheet will show no hours (blank) for November 10, November 22, and November 23. The holiday hours will be added automatically by the system. See the example below:

OPS Employees

OPS employees are not eligible to receive holiday pay.

  *   OPS Nonexempt Employees (paid for time worked) do not receive holiday pay. Only the hours worked should be reported on the timesheet.

  *   OPS Exempt Employees (Grad Assistants/Adjuncts/OPS Faculty) do not report time on their timesheets. If the employee is funded during the holiday, the system will generate pay based on their appointment.

Compensatory Leave
For full-time USPS or A&P employees who worked on the holiday and/or beyond the required number of hours for the workweek, the Time Reporting Code of "Straight Time Comp Earned - REGCE" should be reported as described in the following scenarios:
A&P Exempt
*        Use "Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE" if the employee worked on the holiday (November 10) and worked more than the required 32 hours during the workweek of November 10 - November 16 (8 hours maximum REGCE allowed).
*        Use "Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE" if the employee worked on the holiday (November 22 and November 23) and worked more than the required 24 hours during the workweek of November 17 - November 23 (16 hours maximum REGCE allowed).
USPS Nonexempt
*        Use "Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE" if the employee worked more than the required 32 hours during the workweek of November 10 - November 16 (8 hours maximum REGCE allowed).
*        Use "Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE" if the employee worked more than the required 24 hours during the workweek of November 17 - November 23 (16 hours maximum REGCE allowed).
Example: A USPS employee worked their regular scheduled 8 hours on November 17 and November 20 but had to work an additional 2 hours (until 7:00 p.m.) on November 21. Since the employee worked over 24 hours, the other 2 hours will be reflected as Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE. See example below:

[A screenshot of a computer  Description automatically generated][A screenshot of a computer  Description automatically generated]
If an employee physically worked more than 40 hours during the holiday workweek, do one of the following:

  *   To generate Overtime Comp Leave Earned - enter OTCCE for hours over 40.
  *   To generate Overtime Pay - enter either OVHHP or REGHP for hours over 40.

USPS Exempt
*        Use "Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE" if the employee worked more than the required 32 hours during the workweek of November 10 - November 16 (8 hours maximum REGCE allowed).
*        Use "Straight-time Comp Earned - REGCE" if the employee worked more than the required 24 hours during the workweek of November 17 - November 23 (16 hours maximum REGCE allowed).
If an employee physically worked more than 40 hours during the holiday workweek, do one of the following:

  *   To generate Straight-time Comp Leave Earned - enter REGCE for hours over 40.
  *   To generate Pay at the Straight-time Rate - enter REGHP for hours over 40.

Other Types of Leave

Employees on Workers' Compensation

Since most of these employees receive Workers' Compensation payment for approximately 2/3 of their wages, their holiday pay should be proportional (approximately 1/3). The Workers' Compensation and the holiday amounts must be reported on the timesheet.

The following is only an example of an elapsed timesheet. The corresponding leave code can be sick leave, vacation leave, straight-time compensatory leave, overtime compensatory leave, or leave without pay.
