At times, there can be a delay depending on your internet/wifi听connection.听 If you听don鈥檛听see your punch time added to your Timecard by the end of your shift/day, make a manual edit to your Timecard to have your correct hours worked captured.听

Just clicking听Punch听in the menu on the mobile app does听NOT听punch you听IN听or听OUT.听 An additional menu will pop up in which you need to choose the听Punch In听or听Punch Out听button. If you close the menu on the mobile app before this step, your punch will not be successful.

UKG Dimensions generates email notifications and/or Control Center notifications based on:听听missing information; provide awareness of听information on an employee鈥檚 timecard;听OR听related to Time-Off requests听- submitted by status employees.

FOR Hourly paid employees听鈥撎 IF aOS, Adjunct or Student worker听uses the听Punch Tile听on the desktop or mobile app, minimal notifications are generated.听 The bulk of email notifications happen when an employee is manually entering their time directly to the Timecard听(instead of using the Punch Tile)听OR听making manual edits to their Timecard.听

Generally, as employees learn UKG, the听amount听of notifications will decrease, however this听can be overwhelming for Time-Approvers who have large numbers of hourly direct reports.

IMPORTANT:听听These notifications听need to be reviewed on a regular basis, as any听Pending Edits听to an hourly employee鈥檚 Timecard听MUST BE RESOLVED by the end of a pay periodfor that employee to be properly paid for their hours worked.听

TIP:听Create a rule in Outlook to filter and contain all your听UKG/Kronos notifications听in one folder vs. congesting your听Inbox.听

Hourly Paid (OS)

If you are currently working remotely and are able to continue to work remotely, you do not have to do anything other then听Punch IN/OUT听for the regular hours you would normally be working.听

If there is a portion or all of the curtailed day you are NOT able to work remotely (such as power outage, childcare, weather related issues) you will submit a Request for Time-Off听 in UKG/Kronos and select the type听"最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations"听for the amount of time you were not able to work during the curtailed day.听

EX:听听You work 8am - 4:30pm, but on the curtailed day听 you were NOT able to work until 11am.听 Submit a time-off request for "最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations" with a start time of 8:00am with a duration of 3 hours.听 Then Punch IN at 11am and Punch OUT as you normally would at 4:30pm.

NOTE:听听These instructions do听not听apply to employees working remotely.

When听'Essential Personnel'听report to work during a period of time听(a delayed opening or a full day)听you need to decide how you want to be compensated for the curtailed hours worked:听 Either听additional pay听or听compensatory time

If you want to receive the听Additional Pay,听follow these instructions:

  1. On the day that curtailment occurs, you will punch IN/OUT听to your job as you would on any other day.
  2. Also, submit听a Time-off Request for听最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations听in UKG/Kronos. This can be done after the curtailment occurs, but must be done听before听the employee approval deadline on听the Monday of the week payroll is paid.
  3. Your听Supervisor /Time-Approver听needs to approve the听最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations听Time-off Request in order for you to see the time on your timecard. Their deadline to do this is the听Supervisor /Time-Approver听deadline on the Monday of the week that Payroll is paid.
  4. Once you have submitted the Time-off Request for听最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations听and your听Supervisor /Time-Approver听has approved it, you will see Pay code 522 for the amount of curtailed time submitted on your timecard in addition to your hours worked in the听Totals听tab of your timecard.

If you want to receive the听Compensatory Time 1:1, follow these instructions:

  1. On the day that curtailment occurs, you will punch听IN/OUT听to your job as you would on any other day.
  2. Also, notify your听Supervisor/Time-Approver听that you want to be compensated with 1:1 Compensatory Time. This communication with your听Supervisor/Time-Approver听should be mutually agreed upon. Some suggestions include putting a听comment on your time block of you timecard听(right click on the time听box), email, or any other communication method you and your听Supervisor/Time-Approver听agree upon.
  3. Once your听Supervisor/Time-Approver听is notified that you have requested Compensatory Time, they will need to edit the employee's听timecard, adding in the 911 earn code for the equal amount of hours the employee worked during the curtailed time. This must be completed by the听Supervisor/Time-Approver听prior to the听Supervisor/Time-Approver听deadline on Monday the week that payroll is paid.

Your Timecard has been locked due to an 'Approve'听applied by either the employee or the time-approver to the Timecard prior to the end of the pay period.听 The error message that you will get is听鈥淎ccess right violation: edit data after approval not allowed for an employee鈥.听听 The employee or their time-approver (whoever applied the听'Approve'听in the first place) need to click on听鈥淩emove Approval鈥听(located in the top left of the Timecard, to the right of Approve) so that further edits and/or punches can be applied to the Timecard.听听听NOTE:听 This often happens as employees are learning the system and accidentally approve the Timecard instead of approving an edit, or someone approves the employee鈥檚 Timecard too soon, ahead of the end of the pay period.听

Personal听and听Sick Time听accruals increase bi-weekly, at the end of every pay period, however usage of听Personal听and听Sick Time听will update and be reflected in your balances听on a daily basis听after the time is taken.听

Employees have the option to select听from听Personal Time听or听Sick Time听balances only.听听Earned Time听is part of the听automatic drawn down process听against听your current听balances.
EX:听 When choosing听Personal Time, UKG looks to your balances and draws in this order if there is any time in these balances:听听1st:听 Comp Time,听 2nd: Personal Time, 3rd:听 Earned Time.听听 Your听Earned Time听balances only get drawn听against听if you have used up听all of听your听Personal Time听or,听if requesting听Sick Time听or听Family Care Time, only after exhausting all of your听Sick Time.

The听Duration听of time requested is done with a minimum of 15 minutes, up to a maximum number of hours of your actual work schedule with 15 minute increments.听听EX:听 07:30 or 08:00听for a Full Day.听听 A request for 2 hours & 45 minutes is entered as 02:45.听

Follow the instructions on听page 2听of this听Job Aid.听 Because your time had already听been approved, it will be routed to your Time-Approver for them to approve the cancellation.听 Your request will display in听RED听on your听Requests听tab as听Cancel Submitted.听 Once it is approved, the change will display as听Cancelled听and the time previously requested is added back into your available balances.听

NOTE:听听This needs to be done by the end of the pay period if the time previously requested is in the current pay period so your accruals are updated and your Timecard totals are correct.

All Holidays are preloaded in UKG.听 If the Holiday falls on a day you don't normally work and those hours are already inlcuded on your Timecard, you will take a different day off that week as the Holiday.听 For the day you take as your Hoilday, you听will NOT punch IN/OUT听on your timecard for that day because you are not working.听 There will be a notification generated as an听Unexcused Absence听for that day (due to no punches) but you and your Time-Approver can ignore that and ADD a comment to your Timecard for that day, noting that you took that day as the Holiday.听听Your end of week听totals听should reflect your normal hours worked each week, including the number of hours granted to you from the Holiday.

Salary Paid

Personal听and听Sick Time听accruals increase bi-weekly, at the end of every pay period, however usage of听Personal听and听Sick Time听will update and be reflected in your balances听on a daily basis听after the time is taken.听

Follow the instructions on this听Job Aid, which explains how to access the听Accrual Details听Dataview.听听Review your balances for each type of Time Off you have accruals for听in the column labeled听鈥楥urrent Vested Balance鈥.听听The default view is always听'Today',听but you can change that date to view your balances into the future using the calendar icon.听

NOTE:听听UKG can support and manage Time-Off requests up to 9 months into the future, but no farther.听 You can always dialogue with your Time-Approver about paid time off beyond the 9 months, but do not submit the request in UKG until the time off is no farther out than 9 months so your balances correctly calculate and update.

It is recommended you always use a Start time of 8:00am regardless of the time of day you听actually took听the听Sick Time/Family Care Time.听 This is because all full-time salary paid employees have听a听8:00am-4:00pm听(40 hours/week)听schedule loaded in UKG to support paid time off future accrual calculations and paid time off taken.听 The loaded schedule does not dictate your actual hours worked.

The important part of your request when less than a Full day is the听Duration.听 Salary Paid employees can use听Sick Time听with a听minimum of 2 hours, and then听15 minute听increments after that.听
EX:听听3 hours & 15 minutes听should be entered with a听Start Time听of 08:00 and 03:15 in the听Duration听field.听 It does not matter from a calculation standpoint, if that 3:15 was taken at the beginning, middle or end of the day.

Follow the instructions on听page 2听of this听Job Aid.听 Because your time had already听been approved, it will be routed to your Time-Approver for them to approve the cancellation.听 Your request will display in听RED听on your听Requests听tab as听Cancel Submitted.听 Once it is approved, the change will display as听Cancelled听and the time previously requested is added back into your available balances.听

NOTE:听听This needs to be done by the end of the pay period if the time previously requested is in the current pay period so your accruals are correctly updated.

Supervisor / Time-Approver

If your employee is working remotely, they will continue to work remotely.听

  • They do not have to do anything other then听Punch IN/OUT听for the regular hours they would normally be working.听
  • If there is a portion of or all of the curtailed day they are听NOT听able to work remotely (such as power outage, childcare, weather related issues), they should submit a Request for Time-Off听 in UKG/Kronos and select the type听"最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations"听for the amount of time they were not able to work during the curtailed day.听听 You will receive the request for approval so that time can be added to their timecard.
    • EX:听听Your employee normally works from 8am - 4:30pm, but on the curtailed day they were NOT able to work until 11am.听 They听 will submit a time-off request for听"最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations"听with a start time of 8:00am with a duration of 3 hours.听 Then听Punch IN听at 11am and听Punch OUT听as they normally would at 4:30pm.

If your employee is 'Essential Personnel' and听can't report听to work during the curtailment:听 They will follow the instructions above and submit a Time-Off request, selecting听"UNSH Curtailed Operations"听for the amount of scheduled time they were unable to report to work for the period of the curtailment(EX:听 Could be a few hours or a full shift/day)

If your employee is 'Essential Personnel' and听does report听to work during the curtailment, they have a choice in how to be compensated:听听Additional pay (for Curtailed hours)听or听Compensatory Time 1:1

For employees working during Curtailment that want to be paid for听Worked Hours听and听Curtailed Hours

  • On the day that curtailment occurs, your employee will punch听IN/OUT听as on any other day.
  • Also, they need to submit听a Time-off Request for听最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations听in Kronos/UKG. This can be done after the curtailment occurs, but must be done听before听the employee approval deadline on听the Monday of the week payroll is paid.
  • You will need to approve the听最快开奖直播搅珠结果 Curtailed Operations听Time-off request so your employee will see that time added to their timecard. Your deadline to do this is Monday of the week that Payroll is paid.
  • Once approved, your employee will see听Pay code 522听for the amount of curtailed time submitted on their timecard in addition to their regular hours worked in the听Totals听tab of their timecard.

For employees working during Curtailment that want to be paid for听Worked Hours听and听granted Compensatory Time at 1:1

  • On the day that curtailment occurs, your employee will punch听IN/OUT听as on any other day.
  • Your employee needs to notify you that they want to be compensated with 1:1 Compensatory Time. The communication method for notifying you should be mutually agreed upon.听 Some suggestions include putting a听comment on their time block on their timecard听(right click on the time听box), email, or any other communication method agree upon.
  • Once youarenotified they have requested听Compensatory Time, tyou will need to edit the employee's听timecard, adding in the 911 earn code for the equal amount of hours the employee worked during the curtailed time. This must be completed by you prior to the deadline on Monday the week that payroll is paid.

While viewing your听Control Center:

  • Notifications under the听Timekeepingcategory are generated to create awareness for you and the employee and only need to be reviewed, and听then听Mark Reador听Delete.
  • IMPORTANT:听 Notifications under the听Timekeeping Requests听听category听require actionby the end of each pay period so your employee can approve their timecard.听 These are generated by either manual entries or edits to an employee鈥檚 Timecard.听

You can review and听Approve听or听Refuse听each one while you are in the听Control Center,OR听you can听review each edit听to听听Approve听or听Refuse听while reviewing the employee鈥檚 Timecard.听

  • When viewing an听employee鈥檚听Timecard,听if the pending edits panel does not automatically pop-up from the right margin, you can click on听View Pending听in the upper right corner. It will show you each edit they made that is pending your听Approve听or听Refuse听action.
    • If you encounter a听duplicate error听when trying to听Approve听an edit, it is usually because the employee听tried to make multiple edits for the same day and timeframe.
      • You should听Refuse听that edit. This often听happens for new听UKG听users because when they make edits to their timecard and听SAVE听them, it looks as if their edits disappeared听on their Timecard.听 They are in fact in a听Pending听state, waiting your approval.听

NOTE:听听On your employee's听Timecard, they have the same button -听"View Pending".听 That is where they can听review the actual听edits听they have made听that are pending your approval.听

The deadline for Time-Approvers is听each听Monday @1pm听following the close of a pay period.

Best practice is that employees manage their own time-off requests.听 However, as a Time-Approver, you do have the ability to听Add, Delete or Edit听a time-off request听for a status employee in the听Schedule听view听by following this听Job Aid.

NOTE:听听Most often these steps would only be done by you because it is the end of the pay period and the employee is unable to complete the process for themself.听

You can tell if an hourly employee鈥檚 hours worked on a timecard requires a job transfer by reviewing听TOTALS听at the bottom of the Timecard. The job column will show听鈥楾RANSFER REQUIRED' rather than the position title of the job worked.听听听See image below.听听听In addition, the Labor Category column in the听Totals听pop-up will only show the employee PIDM (ID) rather than also including the position number and suffix.听This听Job Aid听covers how to听ADD or EDIT听a job transfer if needed.听

UKG Transfer

Once the position is confirmed in the HR system, there is an overnight feed to populate UKG.听听

Please submit a ticket via听听for assistance, your profile seetings may need to be updated.听

Best practice at this time is to have the salary paid employee submit a new time off request for the听next current pay period even though they will be working so that their balances will properly update.听 You or the employee can add a comment to indicate the time off was for a different date in the previous pay period.听

Please submit a supervisor update ticket within the managers toolkit in听. 听Updates from Banner HR feed to UKG every 24 hours听and then you should see your direct reports.
