Today we’ll be covering…OverviewNew employee set upAdministrative options for timekeepersSubmission and approval processesVacation accrualTransfers, terminations and adjustmentsTrouble shooting and help

Slide 9

What is the E210?

Official university time record.

Documents time worked, paid and unpaid.

Maintained by the Financial Systems Administrative Department of the Controller’s Office.

Provides compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and automates short-term disability entry.

Identifies the amount of vacation taken so transfers can be initiated between individual accounts and common fringe pool accounts.

Slide 10

Is the E210 Integrated with SAP?

The E210 is not fully integrated with SAP. Information entered in the payroll system is transferred to the E210 system on a semi monthly basis. Any payroll changes are to be made in the central payroll system. Entering a “without pay” or disability code does not reduce an employees pay. Failure to enter an E210 form may affect the availability of vacation but does not affect a person’s payroll.

The E210 also still uses legacy department codes for navigation.

Slide 11

Vacation CreditsOn the 20th of the month, vacation leave taken for the prior month is extracted and the associated costs are transferred using the payroll distribution for that month.

The credit for vacation leave is posted proportionately to each of those accounts and a charge will be made to a benefits account.

All cost transfers will be based on approved E210 forms only.

Timely completion by staff and supervisors is important.

For more details, see chapter 9 of the SAP Business Processes and Account Reconciliation Procedures. (http://www.controller.jhu.edu/acct_recon/acct_rec_toc.html)

Slide 12

Who is Required to Submit an E210?

All JHU employees that are full or part-time and earn vacation.

Excludes faculty, temps, casual and student employees.

Slide 13

Accessing the E210 SystemAccess online: https://e210.johnshopkins.edu

Login using your JHED user ID and password.

Slide 14

New Employee Set-UpIf you are a timekeeper, new employees will appear in your drop down box after the semi payroll runs following a completed New Hire ISR.

There is a new field in the enhanced ISR just for the E210 dept code.

If you are a supervisor, new employees will appear after the timekeeper has assigned you as the supervisor.

Slide 15

Employee Header

Slide 16

Administrative Options Assign a supervisor: Enter the supervisor’s PERNR in the supervisor logon box.

Slide 18

Administrative Options by Department

Slide 19

New Administrator Set-Up

Timekeepers are assigned by higher level administrators or by a representative of the divisional human resources office using “Administrative Options.”A timekeeper has access to their home department by default. Individual departments or ranges may be entered for both department (3 digit) or assigned department (5 digit) administrators.

Slide 20

Submitting E210When a month is entered, the E210 will use the current set up to process the month and calculate accruals.

Changing the set up and resubmitting the month will NOT work. You need to reset the month and start over.

The E210 will look different for exempt (salaried) and non-exempt (hourly) staff members.

Slide 25

Submit Area DetailsHolidays can be changed but not added.

Disability codes reduce sick and vacation accruals automatically.

An employee can resubmit as many times as desired until approved.

Exempt employees may only enter in half or full day increments. Non-exempt will show hours based on schedule. PM will default to AM code unless changed.

Hourly employees must change hours if a second code is entered.

Slide 26

Submit Errors and WarningsCommon errors and warnings:

Not enough sick or vacation time.

Floating holidays in ½ day increments. If a person is part-time, their schedule may need to be adjusted.

Vacation accrual limit warning - approximately 2 days.

Slide 27

Approval Stages

The approve button will not be available for submitted months until the last day of the month.

Once time is approved, it may be unapproved and resubmitted as many times as desired until the 20th of the following month.

The Controllers Office locks down the month on or about the 20th.

Exceptions are based on the administrative calendar.

Time cannot be changed after the lockdown occurs – you must do an adjustment.

Slide 28

Approval Stages Time Keeper View

Slide 29

Approval PathEmployee must either submit or approve time depending on the departments chosen approval path.

Timekeeper may approve time in lieu of supervisor.

There are multiple approval paths. Departments choose their own approval process and it may differ month to month.

Remember, a timesheet will look different depending on the user view.

Various Approval Paths Employee View

Slide 31

Approval RemindersReminder emails are sent to E210 users who have not already submitted a time sheet for the past month on the 1st – thru the 10th of each month.

Reminder emails are sent to supervisors for time sheets not already submitted and/or approved by the 15th of each month.

Slide 32

CalculationsTime is kept in hours internally but displayed in days.

You can choose to display in hours.

If the standard day (work schedule rule) changes from one month to another the difference may be reflected in the subtotal.

Vacation limit overrides and resets are done here.

Adjustments are entered here by Divisional HR only.

Slide 33

Calculations Detail

Slide 34

Vacation Accrual Limits

Accrued vacation is to be taken within 24 months of the month in which it is earned. If not, it is lost.

Vacation limit reflects possible 24 months of accrued vacation, not necessarily actual earned.

It can be found in the employee header as well as in the calculated totals if limit is reached.

Slide 35

Vacation Accrual Limits Cont.Only timekeepers can override vacation accrual limits and only in the current month the limit is reached.

Overrides must be done before the month is locked down.

Documentation must be submitted to the appropriate divisional human resources office.

Any vacation over the limit cannot be paid out on termination.

A check indicates that the limit was overridden.

Slide 36

Comments

Comments should be made on all P and W codes.Please include dates and initials.

No health details please!

An adjustment will insert a comment.

Terminations and NBS will insert a comment.

Slide 37

Department TransfersPrior to transfer, ensure all prior months have been submitted and approved.

On the last day worked, submit the current month and in the comments document the transferred date and indicate the time sheet was approved as of the date of transfer.

The new timekeeper/supervisor should then approve that month at the end of the month.

Timesheet should be accessible to the new department within three weeks.

Use the assigned dept option in the “administrative options” if access to employee is needed sooner.

Treat the transfer like a new employee, assigning a supervisor within that department and any other changes needed.

Slide 38

NBS/Terminations

Ensure all prior months have been submitted and approved and that the ending vacation balance is correct.

Enter the ‘NBS’ or T code in the day after the NBS/termination takes affect to zero accrued time and lock down previous months.

Contact HR if an employee is rehired within 30 days or a termination is submitted by accident and cannot be reset.
