Dear Payroll Managers and Timekeepers,
A new pay code has been implemented in Kronos: SD CX-EX-HX-K8-RX-SX-TX Staff
SD stands for “Shift Differential.” This new pay code is not relevant to student employees, and should only be used for staff employees who qualify for SD as detailed by their contracts.
Departments that already have specific procedures in place for reporting their staff’s SD do not need to change their current practices.
SD for staff is not automatically calculated by Kronos, and needs to be manually added to timecards by payroll managers/timekeepers, if applicable. Departments should review relevant labor contracts to ensure that the pay code is used accurately.
The new pay code can be used for employees who may occasionally qualify via a change in schedule, as detailed by their labor contracts. This pay code can also be used in Kronos’ Schedule widget, if they have a schedule pattern that qualifies for SD.
Specific job codes are eligible for SD in UCPath. If the pay code is used for a non-eligible job, the entry will error during the upload to UCPath.
Please submit a Timekeeping ticket with any questions. Thank you.
