Time Reporting
The University of California has two designated pay cycles: Monthly and Biweekly. Which pay cycle an employee belongs to is determined by the following factors:
- Academic or Staff Exempt employees are defined as monthly paid (salaried) employees who are NOT eligible for overtime, shift/duty pay. These employees only report sick and vacation leave in full days.
- Staff Non-Exempt employees are defined as Biweekly paid (hourly) employees who ARE eligible for overtime, shift/duty pay. These employees report all time worked, rounded to the nearest quarter hour (e.g .25, .50, .75).
Academic and Exempt Staff Employees:
Academic titled employees, including Graduate Student Researchers (GSRs), and Exempt Staff are on a monthly pay cycle. Their pay period runs from the 1st of the month to the end of the month. Please refer to instructions provided by the ISBER Personnel Team regarding Kronos time reporing deadlines.
Graduate Students in Academic and concurrent Staff Titles (Student Assistants):
Graduate students who are currently employed in other departments under an Academic Title (TA, GSR, etc) and are employed by ISBER under a Staff title (Student Assistant) automatically default to the Monthly pay cycle (however, ACTUAL hours are reported and paid as such). The pay period for these employees is a "mid-month to mid-month" pay cycle, beginning on the 11th of the month and concluding on the 10th of the following month. Please refer to instructions provided by the ISBER Personnel team regarding your time reporting deadlines in Kronos.
Staff, Student Assistant, Limited Employees:
Employees hired as Non-Exempt Staff, Student Assistants, or Limited employees are paid on the Biweekly pay cycle. The Biweekly pay cycle consists of 14 days, consisting of two work-weeks (Sunday- Saturday). You can find a Biweekly pay calendar below. These employees are paid for ACTUAL hours worked, so reporting of time correctly is essential. Time reprorting in Kronos typically needs to be approved by your supervisor on Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday) following the conclusion of a Biweekly pay cycle. Pleae refer to the Biweekly payroll calendar (see below).
It is your responsibility to get your supervisor's approval on your timecard in Kronos. If your supervisor is out of town or unavailable to sign, send them an e-mail listing the pay period and the number of hours being submitted (if possible, attach a copy of the Kronos timecard in an e-mail). Be sure to cc valkuan@ucsb.edu.
Note: Valerie will not contact your supervisor for you. Timesheets missing proper approval will not be processed until the approval has been obtained.
Safety & Workers' Compensation
There is an Emergency Plan/Injury & Illness Prevention Program in each office in North Hall. Please familiarize yourself with the safety procedures and the meeting area in the event of an evacuation. If you are located outside of North Hall, please familiarize yourself with the emergency plan of the department providing space.
All employees are required to take the appropriate Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) training. If you have not done so in the past, you can take the online module at the following address: https://www.learningcenter.ucsb.edu/employee-only-log After logging in, search for course "Non-Supervisor - Safety Rights, and Responsibilities (IIPP). It takes about 15 minutes; please notify Kelsey or Claudia when you have completed the training.
Employees must also complete an Employee Safety Checklist, which can be found here: www.ehs.ucsb.edu/files/docs/ii/office_train_cklst.pdf
Workers' Compensation: http://www.workcomp.ucsb.edu/
Note: Contact Kelsey Ibach (kelseyibach@ucsb.edu) or Claudia Diaz (claudia,diaz@ucsb.edu) as soon as an injury occurs or is discovered. All injuries must be reported within 24 hours of the occurrence, and paperwork needs to be completed by the injured individual and their supervisor.
