5 1. INTRODUCTION The primary goal of the Payroll Department of Montgomery Independent School District (MISD) is to administer the payroll fiscal affairs of the district efficiently and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and within Texas Education Agency (TEA) guidelines. District policies and procedures can change at any time; these changes shall supersede any handbook provisions that are not compatible with the change in this procedures manual. Periodically, it may be necessary to update this document and/or include additional information. It is the employee's responsibility to periodically review this document and be aware of any changes. Payroll makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of payroll information. Corrections of errors are handled as judiciously as possible. Employees grant the District the right to deduct from future paychecks any amount which is overpaid in error or amounts owed to the District. 2. LOCATION The Payroll Department is located inside of the Business Administration building located at Walden Road in Montgomery, Texas. 3. PAYROLL CONTACT INFORMATION Cary Herring Payroll Specialist PAY DATES Pay Dates for the current school year can be found on the Montgomery ISD website under Payroll. 5. FORMS Any Payroll Related forms can be found on the Montgomery ISD website under Payroll or on the N Drive in the Payroll Forms shared folder under the Finance Department. 2

6 Payroll Procedures Manual Section B LEAVE ABSENCE PROCESSING

7 1. INTRODUCTION All Montgomery Independent School District employees must report absences in the automated sick leave/substitute calling system known as AESOP either by phone or via internet. All leave tracking is done through TxEIS by information pulled from the AESOP system. Leave and pay information can be viewed in Employee Access Center. Employees may access the EAC application from the M.I.S.D. website HANDLING OF DOCKED DAYS Docked days will not be spread to remaining pay dates. The process is to reduce your monthly check for the full amount owed. Sometimes this may require docking more than one month's check. For example, if you were out 3 days with no available leave and your daily rate is $211 per day, then your monthly wages will be reduced by the 3 days times the $211 daily rate of pay for a total of $633. Again, docked days will NOT be spread over remaining pay dates. 3. ANNUAL SICK LEAVE RECORDS Annual Sick Leave Records will be reflected in the TxEIS Employee Access Center. These records should be reviewed by employees and they should contact the Leave Department if any discrepancies are found. 4. LEAVE ABSENCE CORRECTION TO AESOP & TxEIS An "After The Fact Memo" must be submitted to the Payroll Department to correct absences for a prior workday. Each occasion for an "After The Fact Memo for a para professional, hourly employee, auxillary staff or support staff should also require a corresponding Edit Form to correct the time clock system. 5.

8 Payroll Procedures Manual Section C TIME CLOCK POLICY AND GUIDELINES

9 1. INTRODUCTION Montgomery Independent School District (MISD) uses an electronic time tracking system called VeriTime to capture and record all non exempt employee time records. VeriTime is an electronic time tracking system that allows the District to accurately record, track, and report employee information in real time. This allows employees to accurately monitor and keep track of their time and enables the District to efficiently process employee time worked and leave taken for payroll purposes. The following procedures and guidelines have been created to ensure accurate recordkeeping and compliance within the District. 2. OFFICIAL TIME OF RECORD The VeriTime electronic time keeping system is the official timekeeping software for all nonexempt employees. In order to ensure consistency of treatment for hourly & annualized salary paid employees, the data recorded in the VeriTime system shall be considered as the official record of the workday for the District. Any disputes over actual hours worked or attendance will be resolved by referring to the VeriTime and AESOP records. 3. EMPLOYEE TIME REPORTS The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that employers keep detailed records on time and payments for all employees. All FLSA provisions guide utilization of the time clock system at MISD. The VeriTime electronic timekeeping system is used to record all hours worked for non exempt personnel. 4. MISD ID BADGE AND EMPLOYEE ID NUMBER Every MISD employee is assigned a MISD ID Badge and an Employee ID Number upon hire which is used for identification purposes throughout the District. The MISD ID Badge or the employee s User ID & PIN can be used to clock in at the time clock locations. Employees are responsible for knowing their MISD ID number and protecting it from unauthorized use. 5. CLOCK LOCATIONS VeriTime kiosks are located throughout the District at every school and department site. Please check with your Supervisor regarding clock locations in your work area. 6. DAILY CLOCK IN/OUT REQUIREMENTS It is a job requirement that all non exempt employees must clock in and clock out at the start of their shift, during lunch breaks, if deemed necessary when not autodeducted, and at the end of their shift. Employees are expected to clock in and out at their regularly scheduled times. Under certain conditions (such as trainings at an off site location, extracurricular events, etc.) when an employee cannot clock in at their worksite, the employee should report time worked to their VeriTime Manager using the VeriTime Edit Form so that their time worked can be manually entered or absence from the district entered in AESOP, which works with VeriTime. 7. MULTIPLE JOB CODES There may be instances where employees have multiple job codes. If an employee is paid from multiple funding sources or has more than one position within the district, they will be assigned a separate job code for each non exempt position. It is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that they are clocking in on the correct code at all times. Failure to clock in and out correctly on multiple job codes may result in corrective action. If you are unsure which job code you should be using, please contact your Supervisor, VeriTime Manager, or the MISD Payroll Office for clarification. 6

10 Employees who have swiped incorrectly using the wrong job code will need to complete the VeriTime Edit form and submit the signed form to their Supervisor prior to the close of the pay period so their time can be corrected. 8. VIEWING HOURS WORKED Employees can view their hours worked by contacting their Supervisor or VeriTime Manager. 9. FALSIFICATION, TAMPERING, AND UNAUTHORIZED VIEWING The following infractions are prohibited and will be considered severe. Due to the severity of these infractions, employees may be subject to immediate corrective action, up to and including termination. Non-exempt employees are not authorized to work beyond their normal work schedule without advance approval from their supervisor. Any attempt to tamper with timekeeping hardware or software Punching in or out for another employee Interference with another employee s use of the VeriTime system Unauthorized viewing of another employee s time in the VeriTime system 10. CLOCK PROBLEMS If an employee is unable to punch in or out because of a time clock malfunction, accidental oversight, or other reason, it is the employees responsibility to immediately inform their VeriTime Manager and complete the VeriTime Edit form. In this situation, the VeriTime Manager will manually correct the clock in or clock out information and this form must be maintained at the worksite. The VeriTime Manager will notify the VeriTime administrator of any clock problems or malfunctions with the VeriTime Terminal. If the correction is needed for a workweek that has already closed, the VeriTime Edit Form must be submitted to the Payroll Department to manually correct the error. 11. LUNCHES All non exempt employees are entitled and expected to take a duty free lunch period each day. The duty free lunch should be a minimum of 30 minutes in length. The lunch period is considered unpaid time and employees will clock in and out. The lunch period is to be a duty free break for the employee and must be a minimum of 30 minutes in length. Due to the nature of some district positions, exceptions to the lunch period may be made with the approval of the employee s supervisor. 12. BREAKS The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require breaks or meal periods be given to workers. Nonexempt employees are allowed paid breaks during their shift as defined by their work schedule and their supervisor. 13. UNREPORTED HOURS The FLSA does not permit an employer to benefit from the work of an employee without compensating them for such work. Therefore, all hours worked must be reported using the VeriTime electronic 7

11 timekeeping system. Any time spent working while not clocked in (a.k.a. working off the clock ) is strictly prohibited. Employees are required to clock in before performing any work and are not permitted to clock out until all work has stopped. Employees that underreport or fail to report hours worked are subject to corrective action, up to and including termination. Examples of working off the clock may include: Forgetting to clock in or out Voluntarily continuing to work at the end of regular scheduled working hours Taking work home to complete on the weekend or in the evening Checking/Reading/Reviewing work related s or listening to work related voic messages while away from the office or workplace Answering phones, s, or attending to duties while clocked out for a lunch break Once an employee has clocked in, he/she is responsible for starting work. When a shift has been completed, it is the employee s responsibility to clock out. 14. PROCESSING OF ELECTRONIC TIME REPORTS The MISD Payroll Office will close the work week in VeriTime according to a preset schedule to ensure that time adjustments are properly recorded. The workweek begins on Sunday at 12:00 AM and runs through Saturday at 11:59 PM. VeriTime Managers must resolve all missed punches and review clock hours for their staff on the Monday following the close of a pay period. It is imperative that employees complete any necessary VeriTime Edit Forms in a timely manner. 15. PROCEDURE FOR CLOSING THE WORKWEEK AND MONTH VeriTime Managers must review timesheets and VeriTime Supervisors must approve the VeriTime timesheets for the prior month as it is due by 3:00 p.m. on the payroll deadline. It is understood that every department or campus must review hours worked by their employees. It is strongly suggested that time be reviewed weekly by the Managers and Supervisors. Original signed timesheets from the VeriTime system, including approval signatures, must be submitted to payroll by the payroll deadline. If the Campus/Department did not close their clock by 3 p.m., payroll does an automatic close of the time clock to meet the deadline. This will allow the workweeks to be released for Payroll Processing but without the VeriTime Supervisor site level approval. A monthly review of those Campuses/Departments that are not approving the current month by the deadline will be contacted and repeated violations may result in corrective action. Edit to the timesheets should be done daily at the campus/department level through a signed VeriTime Edit Form. These are maintained at the campus/department level. If the clock has closed and as a last resort, edit forms are sent to the payroll office with proper signatures at which time the clock will be corrected. A copy of the VeriTime Edit Form can be found under in the Appendix section of this manual. 8

12 16. DISPUTES OVER TIME CLOCKED IN OR OUT In the event an employee has a dispute over time that was clocked in or out, they should bring it to the attention of their supervisor immediately. The VeriTime electronic time tracking system provides a log to assist in validating times and locations of all employee swipes. Any dispute that cannot be resolved using the logs should immediately be reported to the Human Resources Department. 17. COMPENSATORY TIME MISD does allow the accrual or use of Compensatory Time for certain employees. With supervisor approval, employees may flex their hours if necessary. Compensatory Time taken in half day or full day blocks, must be entered into AESOP. 18. HOLIDAYS Employees who are eligible for paid holidays will have those days manually entered into the VeriTime system by the Payroll Department by use of the VeriTime Master Calendar. 19. DOCKED PAY If an employee is absent (half day or whole day) and has used up all available local days or state days, their pay shall be docked for the days missed based on their daily rate of pay. 20. OVERTIME Unauthorized overtime is prohibited. Any time worked by an employee that exceeds the employee's budgeted position hours must be approved by the employee s immediate supervisor prior to the time being worked. All approved overtime will be calculated based on the actual hours recorded and credited to the employee as measured by the VeriTime electronic timekeeping system using straight time or time and a half, based on the hours worked in the VeriTime Week. Examples: Overtime paid as Straight Time 35 hours physically worked 8 hours out on leave 43 hours paid at the regular hourly rate (no overtime) Overtime paid at Overtime Rate 42 hours physically worked ( 2 hours paid at overtime rate of time and a half) 21. VERITIME MANAGERS VeriTime Managers are appointed by the MISD Payroll Department as those responsible for monitoring and editing the time clock records for a worksite. This includes: Collecting, verifying, and maintaining the VeriTime Edit Forms Editing employee s time as needed to correct missed punches, incorrect swipes and other necessary maintenance to timesheets. If you are unsure who the VeriTime Manager is for your worksite, please check with your supervisor or contact the Payroll Department. 22. VERITIME SUPERVISORS/APPROVERS VeriTime Supervisors/Approvers are assigned by the MISD Payroll Department and are responsible for monitoring and approving the electronic time and attendance information for their site each week. Time 9

13 cannot be released for Payroll Processing without site level approval. Approval by a VeriTime Supervisor/Approver certifies that the time submitted to the payroll office is correct. A monthly review of those VeriTime Supervisors that are not approving the current workweeks by the deadline will be contacted and repeated violations may result in corrective action. 23. VERITIME EDIT FORM Any corrections to time that occur PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF THE WORKWEEK PAYROLL DEADLINE require a VeriTime Edit Form. The form must be completed by the employee and signed by the employee s supervisor prior to the VeriTime Manager making any change to the employee s time. The original VeriTime Edit Form is kept on file with the employee s VeriTime Manager and the employee is provided with a copy. Examples of changes would include: Correcting missed punches Adjusting the clock in or clock out times Correcting lunch punches that were entered incorrectly Swipes against the wrong job code Any corrections to time that occur AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE WORKWEEK PAYROLL DEADLINE will also require a VeriTime Edit Form. The form must be completed by the employee and signed by the employee s supervisor. When completed, the original, approved form must be submitted to the Payroll Department. The copy of the VeriTime Edit Form is kept on file with the employee s VeriTime Manager and the employee is provided with a copy. Payroll cannot legally change or correct any electronic time card records without both the employee and supervisors' signatures. Corrections resulting from a VeriTime Edit Form will be made on the next available payroll run if the workweek had already been paid. 24. VERITIME SYSTEM AUDITS VeriTime data is subject to annual external audits and may be monitored by a third party to verify compliance. Additionally, the MISD Payroll Department in conjunction with the Internal Audit process will monitor VeriTime data on a regular basis and review for irregularities or patterns. Any irregularities and/or patterns will be reported to the VeriTime Approver/Supervisor and all findings will be investigated. 25. ADDING AND REMOVING EMPLOYEES FROM SYSTEM Typically, employees are set up on the VeriTime when all necessary paperwork has been filled out with the Human Resources Department and the employee has been cleared to start working. The Payroll Department is responsible for adding new employees into the VeriTime System and VeriTime Managers should instruct the employee on how to obtain a badge and how to begin using the VeriTime System. If an employee s paperwork is delayed and the employee has not yet been entered into the VeriTime system, they should complete the VeriTime Edit form for any hours worked until they can swipe or clock in. In the event of any difficulties in setting up an employee, please contact the Payroll Department. Terminated employees will be removed from the system when the Termination documents are received in the Payroll Office from the Human Resources Department. Transferring employees will be updated in the system when the Employee Action Request Form has been received in the Payroll Office from the Human Resources Department. 10

All Supplemental Pay Request Forms are required to be submitted by 3:00 p.m. on the payroll deadline date as well as be signed and approved along with all supporting original documentation attached. Payroll deadlines may need to be occassional updated due to extenuating circumstances. 2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR EACH SUPPLEMENTAL FORM Each form must contain each employee's ID number, legal name, printed name of person approving supplemental pay, rate of pay, hours/days paid and payroll budget codes. A timesheet or other pertinent documentation must accompany each supplemental form for all employees listed. 3. ADDITIONAL REQUIRMENTS Forms must be approved by the designated Supervisor.

OVERTIME For overtime that cannot be charged to the primary funding source of an employee's pay assignment, please submit a copy of the employee s time sheet along with a completed supplemental form indicating the appropriate funding account. 6. SAME OR SIMILAR JOB - OVERTIME When an employee physically works more than 40 hours during a workweek, compensation for time over 40 hours will be calculated at time and one half. In other words, the overtime rate is equal to the employees regular rate times 1½. Example: 13

17 Employee A physically works 42 hours for a given workweek. This employee has an hourly rate of $10.00/hour. CALCULATION $ (40 x $10.00/hour) Regular Hourly Rate $30.00 ( 2 x $15.00/hour) Overtime Hourly Rate $ Gross Wages 7. WHOLLY SEPARATE JOB - OVERTIME When an employee physically works two different types of jobs and works more than 40 hours between the two jobs, then the overtime wages are computed using weighted average calculation. Example: Employee A physically works 37.5 hours as an Aide for a given workweek and 10 hours as a Ticket Seller during the same work week. This employee has an hourly rate of $10.00/ hour. CALCULATION 1) First Calculate what the wages would be based on the two different rates for the two different jobs. $ (37.5 x $10.00/hour) Regular Hourly Rate for 1 st Job $62.50 (10 x $6.25/hour) Regular Hourly Rate for 2 nd Job $ ) Next, divide the total salary calculated from #1 above by the total number of hours worked between both jobs. $ (Salary Calculated from #1 above) / 47.5 (Total number of hours worked between both jobs) $9.21 (Average hourly rate) 3) Divide the average hourly rate calculated from #2 above by the number of different jobs worked. $9.21 (Average hourly rate calculated from #2 above) / 2 (Total number different types of jobs) $4.61 (Average overtime hourly rate) 4) Finally multiply the Average overtime hourly rate calculated from #3 above and multiply by the number of overtime hours worked between the two jobs. x $4.61 (Average overtime hourly rate calculated from #3 above) 7.5 (Total number hours worked over 40 between the two jobs) $34.58 (Overtime due for hours physically worked over 40 between the two jobs) 5) Employee A would be entitled to the following: $ (37.5 hours x $10.00/hour) Regular Hourly Rate for 1 st Job $62.50 (10.00 hours x $6.25/hour) Regular Hourly Rate for 2 nd Job $34.58 (7.5 hours x $4.61/hour) Overtime for hours physically worked over 40 $

24 Montgomery I.S.D. Non-Exempt Employees As an employee of the Montgomery Independent School District, I understand that I am a non-exempt employee. I further understand that according to the Department of Labor, Montgomery I.S.D. is required to pay me for the actual hours I work. Therefore, I agree that I will not start to work without recording my time through the Montgomery I.S.D. s electronic timekeeping system or documenting my time on the MISD s VeriTime Edit Form for work after I have clocked out for the day without recording my time. Non-exempt employees are not authorized to work beyond their normal work schedule without advance approval from their supervisor. Any employee working overtime without approval is subject to discipline. I understand that if I work without documentation of hours worked and compensation that I am falsifying records and that this will be considered a serious offense, subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. It is my responsibility to monitor my time and be held accountable for the hours worked and any edits or corrections that need to be made. If I am asked to work without recording the time, it is my responsibility to report the incident to Sonja Lopez, Executive Director of HR & Communication, in the District s Central Administration building. I have read and understand the Montgomery I.S.D. Payroll Procedures Manual and agree to follow this policy.
