6 Unit 1 Absence Quotas HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

7 Absence 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. HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

Absence Quotas (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. 8HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

9 Absence Quota Accruals Eligible employees accrue absence quotas based on HR Policy and Procedure (  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 1 st or on the hire date for the new faculty. The amount is prorated when the hire date is later than July 1 st. 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. HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

10 Vacation 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 HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

11 Vacation Leave Quota (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:  HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

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. 12 Temporary Disability Leave (TDL) Quota All FYs Expires 12/31/99 HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

Eligible staff may convert TDL quota to Vacation quota in April at a conversion rate of three TDL days for one Vacation day.  The UK TDL/Vacation Conversion Form ( must be completed by the department and forwarded to Employee Relations.  Refer to Human Resources Policy and Procedure Number 87.0: Conversion of Temporary Disability Leave - Refer to Human Resources Policy and Procedure Number 82.0: Temporary Disability Leave for more information:  13 Temporary Disability Leave (TDL) Quota (Con’t) HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

14 Holiday Leave Quota Absence quota accruals for Holiday Leave are stored in separate “buckets” for each Fiscal Year (FY). For example: Holiday quota earned during a FY expires June 30 th of that current FY. There is no 12 month extension, as with Vacation quota. IRIS will not accept entry of Holiday Leave if sufficient quota is not available. FY 09/10 FY 10/11 FY 11/12 Expires 6/30/10 Expires 6/30/11 Expires 6/30/12 HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

15 Holiday Leave Quota (Continued) When an employee is required to work or is normally off on any University holiday, equivalent time-off with pay shall be granted on another scheduled work day, within a specified period of six weeks, at the convenience of the department. Departments with special scheduling and staffing problems may extend this period with the approval of the department head and Employee Relations. Refer to Human Resources Policy and Procedure Number 83.0: Holiday Leave for more information:  HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

16 Military Leave Quota Military Leave quota is manually added by Employee Relations and covers a two week time period for annual training purposes. IRIS will not accept entry of Military Leave (Absence Type 7402) if sufficient quota is not available. Refer to Human Resources Policy and Procedure Number 75.0: Uniformed Services Leave (Military Leave) for more information:  HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

19 Unit 2 Displaying Quota Balances HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

20 Displaying Absence Quota Balances Appropriate department users and business officers will have access to display absence quota balances for employees within their organizational unit(s).

39 Unit 3 Quota Compensation Payouts HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

40 Quota 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.  HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

Quota Compensation Payouts (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,  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. 41HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

Quota 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! 42HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas

43 Quota Compensation Methods (Continued) An employee retiring from UK may have up to two (2) transactions for TDL compensation: / 1.TDL payout non-exempt/exempt – This is a 22 day lump sum option (22 days X # hrs/day) which should be processed first! 2.TDL payout non-ex/exempt Ret 10% - This is referred to as the Retirement Contribution Component. The employee can be paid for 10% of the remaining TDL quota amount after completing the 22 day payout. In the No. to compensate field, enter the total number of hours remaining. IRIS will automatically calculate the 10% of this remaining amount. HR_TM_330 TM: Absence Quotas
