[pps-news] Holidays & START Participants

[Roberta Nardico]

Hello all,

 

It has come to our attention the processing of START participant holiday pay and work scheduling may not be consistent among units. 

 

To ensure a consistent and accurate process, the following guidance is offered:

1.     Prorate holiday pay for those participating in the START program, similar to any part-time employee.  

2.     For employees with START schedules that are impacted by holidays (e.g., employees for whom the holiday falls on what would otherwise have been a  day on which they were scheduled to work 8 hours, but now have the holiday prorated, thereby leaving them short hours during the holiday week), departments and employees should work together, in advance, to determine how best to fill the resulting gap in their work schedule (e.g., make up time/flexible schedule, use of vacation time, increase their START reduction in time for the month the holiday falls in, LWOP). 

a.     If an increase in the employees START reduction in time is agreed upon, please have the employee complete a START amendment <http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/start/contract_amendment.pdf>  and process in PPS (increase the START reduction in time percentage on the RTP line on the roster only) no later than 11/23/09 for the month of November (do not alter the distribution line on the EDB & contact Roberta Nardico in Payroll for PPS assistance, if necessary).

b.    If LWOP is selected, vacation and sick accruals may be impacted slightly.

 

Additional information on the START program can be found by reviewing the START Brochure <http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/start/0903_start.pdf>  & START Fact Sheet <http://furloughmanagementresources.ucr.edu/START%20FactSheet%20Oct%2016%2009%20web.pdf> .

 

Please feel free to contact Heidie Rhodes @ heidie.rhodes at ucr.edu with any questions.
