Winter Holidays

Here are a few reminders regarding how to manage holidays for full- and part-time employees:

Non-exempt employees who are required to work on a University holiday will receive either their normal pay (received as part of their semi-monthly pay) plus pay at one and half times their hourly rate for each hour worked on the holiday, or normal pay (received as part of their normal semi-monthly pay) plus time off at the rate of one and one-half hours for each holiday hour worked.
Time off may be taken with supervisory approval in the current or upcoming calendar year.
Non-exempt employees may not receive additional pay and additional time off for the same holiday.

Holiday e210 codes should be used as follows:

Non-exempt employee working a full day or more on the holiday and receiving normal pay plus pay at time and a half for hours worked on the holiday code hours worked with the HX code. Here are two examples:

8 HX
7.5 HX
Non-exempt employees working more hours on a holiday than what they are normally scheduled, enter all hours worked with the HX code. Here is an example of a non-exempt employee who is scheduled to work 8 hours per day but works 12 hours on the holiday:
12 HX
Non-exempt employee working a partial day on a holiday and receiving normal pay plus pay at time and half for hours worked on the holiday will use the HX code for the hours worked and the remaining hours scheduled to work are coded with the H code. The combination of working hours and holiday hours (not worked) cannot exceed the hours the employee is normally scheduled to work on that day. Here is an example of an employee who was scheduled to work 7.5 hours but work 4 hours:
- 4 HX/3.5 H
Non-exempt employee working on the holiday who will be receiving normal pay plus time off at time and a half for hours worked on the holiday will use the HXC code. The time off earned from working the holiday will be coded with the AH (alternate holiday). Supervisor and employee are responsible for monitoring the future use of the holiday time. Add comments to the e210 for tracking purposes. Here are two examples:

8 HXC on holiday; 12 hours of alternate holiday (AH) to be used at a later date
7.5 HXC on holiday; 11.25 hours of alternate holiday (AH) to be used at a later date.
Exempt employees required to work on a holiday will code their time with the HXC code and will receive one day of paid leave that can be used at a later date.

Please remember:

Employees must be in paid status before and after the holiday to be paid for University holidays.
An employee’s last day worked cannot be a holiday unless they work that day.
Holiday leave applies only to full- and part-time staff.
Non-exempt employees are entitled to holiday pay equivalent to their weekly hours divided by 5.
Clinical associates do not receive University holidays. If they do not work, they must use paid leave to cover all absences.
If the holiday falls on a day that the employee is not scheduled to work (non-standard work schedules), the holiday (H) code should be removed. The employee is entitled to holiday leave at a later date and would use the alternate holiday (AH) code when the leave is taken.

The Holiday Policy can be viewed online at the following link: https://policies.jhu.edu/doc/fetch.cfm/eTOB68KI.

Display AR Documents – Critical Role for End Users

It has come to our attention that several departmental users do not have SAP access to “AR- Display AR Documents”. The technical role name is ZRFI_AR_DISARDOCS_ALL. Please be advised this is a critical role for finance staff.

This role provides users with pertinent financial information including data for customer account display, document display, and balance display. This is beneficial for monitoring and reconciling sponsored and non-sponsored account activity.

If you do not have this role please ask your supervisor to request a ZSR.

University Office of Finance Just Honoring U Employee Recognition Program

The Johns Hopkins University Finance Employee Recognition Program is designed to acknowledge the efforts and contributions of University Finance staff. This program will recognize those employees who have performed above and beyond normal expectations, often defined as “Going the Extra Mile”.

Awards will be made semi-annually. All employees within University Finance are eligible to be nominated and these nominations can come from anyone from the Hopkins community not including the employee’s direct supervisor. While an employee may be nominated each semi-annual period, that employee may only be eligible to win the premium award once per fiscal year.

Recognition of recipients will be done semi-annually at an award ceremony, generally in the months of June and December (submission deadlines are May 1st and November 1st). All recipients, their immediate supervisor, all Finance Directors and the selection committee will be invited to the award presentation and each recipient will be presented with a Certificate of Recognition and a small gift. Additionally, a copy of the written nomination form and Certificate of Recognition will be placed in the employee’s personal file.

Download the nomination form at Just Honoring U Nomination Form. Once you have completed the form, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form and follow the directions to email the completed form. You must complete the entire form for it to be considered.

If you have any questions or are unable to access the form, please email [email protected].
