ACT Actual Hours Worked (**ACTUAL) - Actual hours worked by an employee. The system uses these hours to calculate Overtime and Regular Hours Held. 

  • These hours will be converted by the system to (REG, OTP, OTS, RHH, etc.), as necessary.
  • The only hours worked excluded from this type of earnings are hours worked on a holiday, overtime with cost distribution overrides, or specific agency use codes. These hours should be reported with the appropriate earnings code (HOW, HOP, OTD, ONL, etc.).
  • ACT is not available for an employee with an appointment code of NRS.  This type of employee should code REG instead.  Their overtime will be calculated manually.
ADT Administrative Leave Taken (**ADMIN LV) - Approved leave with pay at the discretion of the appointing authority when such leave is in the best interest of the Department. No leave balance is reduced. Credited State Service and leave will accrue.  ADT may be used under the following conditions:
  • When the employee is being investigated
  • When the employee is in due process procedure of a disciplinary action
  • When the Governor, Appointing Authority or the designee declare a department facility is closed or inaccessible because of severe weather, civil disturbances, loss of utilities, or other disruptions
  • When the Appointing Authority deems it necessary due to an unusual situation, emergency, or critical incident that could jeopardize agency operations, the safety of others, or could create a liability situation for the agency

Note:  For FLSA S employees agencies code CPP.  The covered comp balance is paid first, then CEP is generated to pay exempt comp hours.  To pay Exempt Comp hours to an FLSA S employee on the IPOPS Special Payment action, CEP should be coded.
 
CPT Compensatory Time Taken (**COMP LV) - Leave taken by an employee.  The hours submitted are subtracted from the employee’s  covered or exempt comp time balance.  This earnings code can be coded during the same week it is earned as long as it is taken after it is earned.  If the employee has a balance for both covered comp time and exempt comp time, the covered comp time hours will be taken before the exempt comp hours are reduced.

Note: If an employee works overtime in week 1 and week 2, Overtime for both weeks is calculated and hours over the 240.0 max are paid as OTP before ​any CPT or CPP is calculated and hours over the 240.0 max are paid as OTP before any CPT or CPP hours are subtracted from the employee's comp balance.
