Leave Balances on Pay Stubs
Human Resources recently upgraded the process of entering shared leave in HRIS. This upgrade was to have affected internal HR procedures only. It was discovered, however, that employees who had previously donated or been awarded shared leave within the last few years were incorrectly affected by this upgrade. Employees who had donated leave in the past had their leave deducted once again. Past shared leave recipients had shared leave added back into their balances. This problem was quickly recognized and has been corrected in HRIS, however some employees may notice incorrect balances on their pay advices dated 3/12/04 due to the fact that the paychecks were issued prior to the corrections.
Department personnel specialists do not need to do anything with regard to correcting this leave. HR has made the adjustments and employees should have the correct balances on their next pay advices. We apologize for the problem. If you have any questions, please contact Kristi Fronce at (785) 532-1889 or Alma Deutsch at (785) 532-1448.

Summer 2004
There will be seven summer pay periods (05/09/04 to 08/14/04). Nine month employees will have seven unpaid summer pay periods unless they have a summer school or other summer appointment.
Summer school has six sessions and there are seven summer pay periods.
Nine month employees with only a summer school appointment will have at
least one unpaid pay period during the summer. These employees may want
to begin early planning for this situation. If you have questions or
comments, please contact Patsy Havenstein at
patsy@ksu.edu or
call her at (785) 532-1883.
