I am a temporary employee, what hours do I log and what hours does my supervisor log for me?
You can log your normal work hours. If you have requested and been approved to use one of the COVID-19 related leave options, your departmental payroll processor will be responsible for adding those absence codes to your timesheet.

Can temporary employees decline alternative work?
If there is work available, it is expected that the employee completes the work either on campus (if approved by unit head) or remotely (if the employee has the ability to work remotely). If you feel you cannot complete your assigned work, discuss the reasons why with your supervisor.
A temporary employee requesting and approved to be off for non-COVID-19 reasons will be off without pay.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, are temporary employees still expected to stay under the work limits of 116 hours over two consecutive biweekly pay periods (i.e. average of 29 hours/week)?
Yes. The IRS has made no changes to the university’s obligations under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), so the policy limits still apply.

Do hours paid under KIH codes count toward the temporary position policy limit of 29 hours/week?
Yes, per Affordable Care Act (ACA) guidelines, these hours DO count toward the limit. To request an exception to this limit, please submit a seasonal exception form.
