Absence Quotas


7

Absence QuotasAbsence Quotas

• The term Absence Quota refers to an employee’s entitlement to absence for the following quota types:

01 – Vacation

02 - Temporary Disability Leave (TDL)

03 – Military Leave - Training

07 – Holiday

11 – Vacation - 10/11 month faculty

12 – Vacation - 12 month faculty

13 – Vacation - Faculty member in staff position

• Absence quota balances are maintained in IRIS for all eligible employees except Post Doc Scholars and Housestaff employees.


Absence Quotas Absence Quotas (Continued)(Continued)

• The day-to-day use and thus reduction of absence quota balances occurs from the time data being entered in CAT2 with the appropriate Absence Type.

• Major adjustments to absence quota balances are made only by the HR Employee Relations office. For example:

A new employee is eligible for Holiday Leave for an upcoming holiday, but they were not active in IRIS at the time of the normal accrual.

An employee participates in the Sick-to-Vacation Leave Conversion in April, or donates Vacation Leave to the Staff Shared Leave Pool in May.

Note: Departments must communicate and work with Employee Relations for any major adjustments.


9

Absence Quota AccrualsAbsence Quota Accruals

• Eligible employees accrue absence quotas based on HR Policy and Procedure (http://www.uky.edu/HR/policies).

Vacation and TDL quota accruals occur during the “Prelim” payroll run each pay period, but the number of hours accrued in a pay period will not available for use until the first day of the following pay period.

Holiday quota accruals occur at least three weeks in advance of the holiday and six weeks for the four bonus days.

Faculty members (10-, 11-, and 12-month appointees) are granted all allowable Vacation quota on July 1st or on the hire date for the new faculty. The amount is prorated when the hire date is later than July 1st.

• An employee must be in a paid status for at least 50% of a pay period in order to receive the quota accruals for the pay period.


10

Vacation Leave QuotaVacation Leave Quota• Absence quota accruals for Vacation Leave are stored in separate

“buckets” for each Fiscal Year (FY). For example:

• At the end of a FY, any unused Vacation quota earned during that FY will be available for use for an additional 12 months. The system will make the quota unusable at the end of that time period.

• IRIS will automatically adjust accrual amounts as annual Vacation allowances increase for an employee (based on years of service and employment status).

FY 09/10 FY 10/11 FY 11/12


11

Vacation Leave Quota Vacation Leave Quota (Continued)(Continued)

• IRIS will not accept entry of Vacation Leave if sufficient quota is not available or the employee is still in their “new hire” orientation (probation) period.

• Refer to Human Resources Policy and Procedure Number 80.0: Vacation Leave for more information:

http://www.uky.edu/HR/policies/hrpp080.html


• Absence quota accruals for TDL are stored in one “bucket”.

• There is no “use it or lose it” rule with TDL, thus the expiration date for TDL is 12/31/9999.

• IRIS will not accept entry of TDL if sufficient quota is not available.

Temporary Disability Leave (TDL) QuotaTemporary Disability Leave (TDL) Quota

All FYs

Quota Compensation Payouts


40

Quota Compensation PayoutsQuota Compensation Payouts

• Upon separating or retiring from the University of Kentucky, eligible staff and faculty may be paid for all or a portion of their accumulated Vacation, Temporary Disability Leave (TDL), and/or Holiday Leave through what are called quota compensation payouts.

• Before processing a payout, always review UK’s HR Policy and Procedure Manual to determine eligibility.

http://www.uky.edu/HR/policies


Quota Compensation Payouts Quota Compensation Payouts (Continued)(Continued)

• Quota payouts should be processed the day after the Preliminary Payroll Run of the employee’s last pay period.

For example, if a monthly employee’s last day is March 31, 2011, then the quota payout should be processed on March 18, 2011.

This will ensure the employee’s last quota accruals have occurred and all eligible hours are available.

The hours entered in the quota payout will be processed during the next payroll run (Trial Payroll Correction Run), and the pay amount will be included in the employee’s last paycheck.


Quota Compensation MethodsQuota Compensation Methods

• Early in this transaction you will be prompted to select the appropriate compensation method.

• For the first four methods, the last letter in the 4-letter code will be either “E” if the employee is Exempt, or “N” if the employee is Non-exempt.

• Do not use the VACL Vacation method. It is no longer valid.

• The VAFS Vacation method is to be used for a Faculty member in a staff position.

• The ZVEX and ZVFA Vacation methods are to be used by the Payroll Office only!

Time Quota Compensation (0416) Time Quota Compensation (0416) (Continued)(Continued)

In this example, Jonsey accrues 20 days of Vacation leave a year and works 8 hours per day, which means he is eligible for a maximum of 160 hours. Since his quota balance is 123.45, he is thus eligible to be paid for all of that quota.

• When processing a different compensation method it may be necessary to clear out the subtype (Sty) field in the Direct selection section at the bottom of the PA30 screen. The code for the last, saved payout may remain in the field, and the system will “think” that is the method you are wanting…when it really may not be.


49

• You may also need to clear the subtype (Sty.) field on the Overview screen so that it shows all records in the infotype, not just the type matching the subtype code.
