Hyper Find Queries

Queries are the building blocks that are used to determine what type of information Users
can view when selecting a Workforce Genie. You can then use a query in conjunction
with a predefined Workforce Genie or a Report to further narrow the search for the
information.

Types of Queries
There are two types of hyperfind queries that can be used to assist Users in accessing
employee information in the Workforce Timekeeper application. The two types of
queries are:
 Public Queries
 Personal Queries

Public Queries
Public queries are available to all users who are granted rights to view reports or Genies.
Public queries appear in boldface text in the list box as options within the Show field in
the application. In the example below, there are numerous public queries available to the
user.

Personal Queries
The second type of query is called a personal query. A Personal Query is only
accessible to the individual who created the query. When a user accesses the list box
associated with the show field, any personal queries defined by the user will display in
regular text.

Automatic Meal Deduction

The Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance System has been configured to automatically
deduct the amount of your daily scheduled meal break. This deduction will occur after the
employee has worked 5 consecutive hours within the shift.

Example #1: Pete Carter is scheduled to work 3:00 P.M. until 11:30 P.M. with a 30 minute
meal break.

Employee worked 8 ½
hours but the 30 minute
meal break was
automatically deducted
from the timecard totals

Example #2: Pete Carter is scheduled to work 3:00 P.M. until 11:30 P.M. with a 30 minute
meal break. He starts his shift at 3:00 P.M. but gets sick and punches out at 6:00 P.M. Pete
did not work 5 consecutive hours in his shift so the 30 minute meal deduction did not occur
on his timecard.

Employee worked 3
consecutive hours which is
less than the 5 consecutive
hours required so the 30
minute meal deduction
was not taken.

Regular Hours: 3:00

 Timecards

Adding a Meal Break Punch

Some departments require that employees punch when they begin and end their meal break.
When this occurs the Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance System will utilize the
second set of “In” and “Out” cells that appear on the timecard to record the meal break time.

If an employee forgets to punch for a meal break,

the user should perform this edit on the employee
timecard.

When adding a meal break punch to an employee

timecard, it is important to remember that the
timecard for the applicable day already contains
data in the “In” and “Out” fields. This data
references the “In” and “Out” punches for the
worked shift.

1. “In-Punch” 3:00 P.M. (Start of Shift)

Canceling a Meal Deduction

If an employee worked through the meal break or did not take a meal break for the day, that
meal break time must be added back to the total worked hours. Some users have the ability
to cancel a meal deduction for an employee for a specific shift.

Meal deduction cancellations should only be

performed on the last “Out” punch of the day.

To Cancel a Meal Deduction from an employee timecard:

1. Place your cursor on the “Out” cell that corresponds to

the punch that you want to edit.
2. Double Click on the “Out” cell and the “Edit Punch”
window appears.

Moving Pay Code Amounts

Sometimes it may be necessary to move an amount (dollars or hours) from one pay code to
another to correct a discrepancy or to account for something unexpected.
Suppose, for example, that in reviewing an employee timecard you notice that 8 hours of
time is allocated to a pay code for Jury Duty. This comes to your attention because you
know that you did not have anyone out for Jury Duty this pay period. When you ask the
employee you discover that it was actually 8 hours of Personal Time. In order to make this
correction on the employee timecard, you will have to move the 8 hours from the Jury Duty
pay code to the Personal Time pay code.

To Move Pay Code Amounts:

Place your cursor in the cell that corresponds to the
“Pay Code Amount” you wish to move.
From the Menu Bar, select Amount>Move.
The “Move Amount” dialog box appears.

1. In the field labeled “Pay Code”, select the correct Pay

Code from the list box.
2. In the field labeled “Amount”, enter the correct
amount.
3. In the field labeled “Effective Date”, enter the correct
date
4. In the field labeled “Transfer”, enter the account code

applicable.

Account Code Transfers

Users can perform transfers so an employee’s hours within the same Company can be
charged to a different account code that is not an employee’s primary labor account. The
transfer can be for the entire shift, a portion of the shift or the total hours for the entire pay
period.

NOTE: Account Code Transfers must be processed

within the same Company.

Add Historical Edits

A Historical Edit is a tool to be used to adjust an error or pay code from a previously signed
off pay period in the Kronos system. For example, an employee had requested a
ETO/Vacation day to be paid in the previous pay period. The timecard was approved and
signed off without entering the ETO/Vacation day in the Kronos system. If the employee is
able to wait for the ETO/Vacation day until the next pay check, the department administrator
would then sign into the Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance system and make the
historical edit.

In order to pay an employee in the current pay period for a vacation day not paid in the
previous pay, perform a historical edit as follows:

From the navigation bar:

1. Select the Employee’s timecard in the Current Pay Period
2. Select Amount from the menu bar tab
3. Select Add Historical Amount from the drop down list

date from the calendar (actual adjustment date).
2. Select which Pay code you want to add from the drop down.
3. Enter the Amount of Hours you are adjusting in the next field.
The effective date of the adjustment is very important if you intend
for the adjustment to be paid in the next pay check;
4. Enter the Current Pay Period End Date.
5. Select Include in totals for effective date
6. Select the Comment (Historical Edit)
7. Click OK.
8. Select Save from the menu bar
By following these steps, the historical amount you processed will be included in the
employee’s next regular payroll payment.
Sometimes you will need to make a Historical Adjustment to the employee’s timecard that
1
will require an “Off Cycle” check. In this case, follow steps 1-4 from above. If the employee
requires an “Off Cycle”, DO NOT CHECK the Include in totals for effective date (5). By
checking this, the historical edit is made, but the adjustment will not be included with the
current pay period. Click OK. Contact payroll with the proper off cycle documentation. 2

Schedules and Termination

Exempt employee timecards are populated by the Scheduler. Any hours and/or money
on an employee’s timecard is passed to PeopleSoft and processed for payment to the
employee. In the event that an employee has terminated, but the PAF information has not
been processed, the employee will remain active in the Jefferson Electronic Time and
Attendance System. Unless the Schedule is end dated the employee will be paid. To
prevent the employee from being overpaid, the schedule must be end dated as of the
effective date of termination.

On August 20, Sarah Super submitted a letter stating that she was resigning effective
September 22. However, Sarah’s information has not yet been updated in the HR/Payroll
system so she is active in the Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance System. Since
Sarah is an exempt employee the Scheduler has already populated her timecard. The
hours must be removed from the timecard.

The employee
would be paid
80 regular
hours.

The Schedule must be end dated effective September 22nd (the last worked day).

employees to appear in the workspace of the Workforce
Genie.
All Home: The All Home query displays your base group
of employees – all employees that you can access.
Other Queries: All other queries are based on All Home,
so the employees selected by other queries are a subset of
All Home, filtered by additional criteria.
Time Period When The Time Period field lets you choose from a list of time
Field intervals to populate the workspace with information for a
specific date, range of dates, pay period or schedule period.

Kronos Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a way to schedule ETO, Vacation or Personal time in advance? Schedules are
utilized in the Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance system and can be future
dated.

What happens if I work more than one job? In one Jefferson Company? For your
primary job you will swipe at the time clock, but when working your alternate job you
will enter a specific pin number designated for that job. In multiple Jefferson
companies? You will receive an ID badge for each company and swipe the badge
assigned to that company.

How does the Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance System know how and when to
pay me overtime? Overtime is automatically calculated in the Jefferson Electronic
Time and Attendance system based on preconfigured rules which are compared to in
and out punches.

Can employees view their own records in the Jefferson Electronic Time and Attendance
System? Can employees update their own records in the Kronos system? Management
employees may be authorized by the department to view and edit their own time cards.
Hourly employees generally do not have view access to their timecards, but may view
punch data and accrual balances at the time clock.

How are Exempt employees paid in the Kronos system? Exempt employees are paid
according to the schedule entered into the Kronos system. Any non productive time,
such as ETO, sick, vacation, or personal, must be adjusted in the schedule or time
card.

Can I swipe in or out for my co-workers? It is never permissible to punch in or out for
any other employee.

What if I work in an area where my badge does not work at the time clock? In the event
that the ID badge cannot be read by the time clock due to ongoing problems, then the
employee may utilize a “pin punch’ to punch in and out. The Payroll office can assist
in coordinating this special arrangement.

How is ETO, sick, vacation, and personal time calculated in the Kronos system? It is
calculated in PeopleSoft and imported into Kronos on a bi-weekly basis.

Can I enter ETO, sick, vacation, or personal time for an employee who does not have
enough time accrued? Yes, except for Personal or Holiday time. For ETO, Vacation
and Sick the maximum amount of negative hours is 12. It is only appropriate to enter
hours against a negative balance if it has been determined that there is a discrepancy
in the balance. Consult the Payroll office immediately to rectify the situation.

HUMAN RESOURCES POLICIES

Category: Human Resources

Title: JEFFERSON 'S ELECTRONIC TIME AND
ATTENDANCE SYSTEM
Applicability: Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, Inc.
(TJUH), Thomas Jefferson University (TJU)
Contributors/Contributing
Departments:

Jefferson Time and Attendance

“Jefferson” refers to Thomas Jefferson University, Jefferson University Physicians, and
Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, Inc., unless otherwise specifically noted.

Jefferson utilizes an Electronic Time and Attendance System to track all time worked by
employees and account for non-productive time paid. Jefferson’s Electronic Time and
Attendance system will be utilized to record time for payroll purposes.

ACCESS

On line access to Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance system will be granted
upon submission of appropriate, approved Security Access Request Forms signed by the
department head or designee. Inappropriate use of the system may result in suspension of
system access and other disciplinary actions up to and including termination.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Any employee whose job requires access to Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance
system as an approver, scheduler, or editor, must attend formal training administered by
Payroll ,prior to receiving access to the Electronic Time and Attendance System.

WORK SCHEDULES

All employees, both exempt and non-exempt, with the exception of JUP Physicians for
the clinical portion of their compensation, must have a schedule in Jefferson’s Electronic
Time and Attendance system.

-6-
 Additional Information
TIME CLOCKS

Time clocks may be installed so that employees have reasonable access to swipe in and
out. Factors for the location of time clocks include:
 Employee location
 Number of employees in a specific location
 Overall department business needs

ID BADGES

The time clocks are configured to recognize the Jefferson Employee Identification
Badge. Specifically, the magnetic stripe on the back of the badge will be read as the
employee swipes at the clock. In the event that an employee badge is defective, a
replacement badge must be procured at the Photo ID Center for the main campus, or
the Methodist Security Office, as soon as administratively possible.

1. There will be no charge to the employee for the replacement of the ID badge if
it is no longer readable due to normal use in the time clock.
2. The Supervisor will complete a “Badge Replacement Request Form” which
must be taken to the Photo ID Center for the main campus or the Methodist
Security Office by the employee.

It is also recognized that there may be circumstances where a magnetic stripe will be
ineffective in such areas as Radiology, CAT Scan, MRI, etc. In these cases, a PIN
number will be assigned to the employee who will swipe in at the time clocks utilizing
this PIN number instead of swiping a badge.
Note: A defective badge attributable to ongoing magnetic stripe issues does
not excuse hourly paid employees from swiping in at the time clocks.
Such issues should be immediately brought to the supervisor’s attention
and a replacement badge should be obtained.

UNAUTHORIZED TIME CLOCK ENTRIES

Under no circumstances is it permitted that an employee may “swipe in or out” for

another employee. This includes both badge swiping and PIN entry. Infractions will be
subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including discharge.

If an employee forgets to swipe, loses a badge, or is, for any reason, unable to swipe, he
or she must contact their supervisor immediately. The supervisor will enter the
information through the on-line system. Failure to swipe will be subject to appropriate
disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

-7-
 Additional Information

TAMPERING WITH TIME CLOCKS

Any employee who willfully and deliberately interferes with the operation of a time clock
or causes damage by tampering with or destroying the time clock, will be subject to
appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

EXEMPT EMPLOYEES

Exempt employees will not swipe in and out at time clocks unless specifically required
by Senior Management. Exempt employees will be notified regarding swiping
requirements at the departmental level. Exempt employees will be paid for normal
SCHEDULED hours, and not for additional hours worked unless the type of additional
payment or the program for additional payment has been approved by the Chief Human
Resources Officer.

If not required to swipe, exempt employees will be paid according to schedules entered
into Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance system. The system is configured to
populate the employee time card from the schedule entered for each employee. An
employee’s scheduled lunch will be accommodated through Jefferson’s Electronic Time
and Attendance system. Any non-productive time, such as sick, vacation, personal,
funeral pay, etc, must be updated in Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance system.

Exempt employees may not be docked for time not worked that is less than a full week
unless otherwise legally permitted in such cases where the employee may not have
available sick, personal or vacation time. If the employee does have available sick,
personal, or vacation time, it should be used to account for absences of full days or
longer. In the event that the exempt employee does not have available sick, vacation, or
personal time, the exempt employee will not be paid for these full day absences. Please
refer to the Jefferson Weather Emergency policy for information on absences during a
weather emergency.

COMPENSATORY TIME OFF

Non-exempt employees: Non-Exempt employees shall not receive Compensatory

Time.

EMPLOYEES REQUIRED TO SWIPE

Swiping:

All non-exempt employees (hourly paid and eligible for overtime) are required to:
 Swipe in at the beginning of their assigned shift, and
 Swipe out at the end of their assigned shift.

Exempt employees may be required to swipe in and out upon notification from the
department head.

 Additional Information

Failure to swipe in and out in accordance with this policy will result in disciplinary action
as follows:

First Infraction
Counseling

Second Infraction
Counseling

Third Infraction
Verbal Warning

Fourth Infraction
Written Warning

Fifth Infraction
Three (3) day unpaid suspension/Final Warning

Sixth Infraction
Termination

MEAL BREAKS

A meal break is defined as a minimum of 30 minutes of uninterrupted non productive

time. In the event that this meal break is interrupted for work, the employee must be paid
for the entire meal break period. It is the responsibility of the employee to notify a
supervisor immediately if a meal break is interrupted for work.

Specific pay rules will automatically deduct an employee’s lunch period from the shift. If
the employee works during any portion of the meal break period, a cancellation of this
auto-deduct rule must be entered and the employee must be paid for the entire meal
break. Individual departments may require employees to swipe in and out for lunch
and/or breaks, after review with Payroll and Human Resources.

OVERTIME

Overtime for non-exempt (hourly) employees will be paid in accordance with Jefferson
policies that are consistent with applicable federal and state regulations. Jefferson’s
Electronic Time and Attendance system has been configured to automatically calculate
overtime. All overtime must be approved in advance by the department supervisor.

Unauthorized Overtime
In the event that an employee swipes in early, or out late, and the employee was actually
working, the employee is to be paid for the additional time worked. However, if the time
worked was not pre-approved, while the employee must be paid, he/she should be

-9-
 Additional Information
counseled and any additional infractions of working without authorization will result in
disciplinary action up to and including termination. The supervisor should note the
infraction by utilizing the established “Comments” in Jefferson’s Electronic Time and
Attendance system.

ROUNDING PERIODS

A standard rounding period has been instituted for Jefferson. Employees may swipe in
up to 6 minutes prior to the start of the scheduled shift. This rounding period allows for
the time between the employee “in swipe” and when the employee actually begins to
work. It is expected that the employee will be at the workstation and ready to begin work
at the start of the shift.

Likewise, the standard rounding period applies to swiping in after the start of the
scheduled shift. The employee’s pay will not be docked for late swipes within this
rounding period. However, the lateness may be counted against the employee lost time
rate per Jefferson Attendance Policy.

It is imperative that the employee report any issues with swiping in or out immediately to
their supervisor. Notations should be made utilizing the system defined “Comments” to
explain any discrepancies that should be considered excused.

The same rounding periods are in effect for “out swipes”. An employee may swipe out up
to 6 minutes prior to the end of the scheduled shift. The employee’s pay will not be
docked for early out swipes within the rounding period. However, the early out swipe
may be counted against the employee lost time rate per Jefferson Attendance Policy.

Likewise the standard rounding period applies to swiping out after the end of the
scheduled shift. This time will not be included in the calculation of overtime. This
rounding period allows for the time between when the employee stops working and the
actual out swipe. It is expected that the employee will work the scheduled shift.

Notwithstanding the rounding periods, non-exempt employees must be paid for all time
worked.
Supervisors must adjust the Time and Attendance System to reflect all time worked.

PERSONAL TIME

Eligibility - Eligible employees, as described in the Jefferson Benefits Eligibility Chart,

will be awarded Personal Time to be used for Personal Time not worked.

It is the responsibility of the department to ensure that employees do not use the personal
time prior to the award date. All personal time not used by the end of the fiscal year (June
30), will be forfeited.

- 10 -
 Additional Information
HOLIDAY TIME

Eligibility - Eligible employees, as described in the Jefferson Benefits Eligibility Chart,

will be awarded Holiday Time to be used for Holidays not worked.

In order to be eligible for the paid holiday, non-exempt employees may not have
unscheduled absences on the scheduled day immediately before or after the holiday.

ADDITIONAL MONEY

Human Resources must pre-approve any programs for the payment of additional moneys.
This includes, but is not limited to, any payment for shift outside of normal shift
differential in accordance with Jefferson Policies and payment for extra hours to exempt
employees.

The Additional Money code is never to be used for incentives or bonuses which must be
processed directly through Human Resources and approved by the President in
accordance with specific pre-approved incentive plans.

ADVANCE PAY

Advance pay will be granted only in extreme emergency and with written approval from
a Senior Officer or designee.

ADJUSTMENTS TO EMPLOYEE RECORDS

Data stored in Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance system is the official Time
and Attendance record for each employee. It is imperative that management personnel
adhere to established Jefferson and departmental policies when utilizing Jefferson’s
Electronic Time and Attendance system. The Audit Trail reports on all transactions,
including the user and the actions taken. All departments are subject to both internal and
external audits at any time without prior notice.

Due to the real-time requirements of Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance system,
all employee HR transactions must be submitted timely. For example, transfers, leaves of
absence, and returns from leaves all potentially affect the accuracy of the employee data
in the Time and Attendance system and employee data is interfaced daily from the HR
system.

DOCUMENTATION AND DATA RETENTION

It is the department’s responsibility to maintain all documentation for any transaction

posted through Jefferson’s Electronic Time and Attendance System. This documentation
should be standardized within the department and must be presented at any time upon
request for inquiry or audit purposes. Failure to maintain and or provide documentation
will result in suspension of system access.

 Additional Information

MANAGER APPROVAL COMPLIANCE

All management personnel who are responsible for the approval of electronic timecards
must adhere to timelines established by the Payroll Department. All electronic timecards
must be approved by noon on Monday of the pay week or other times as designated. In
the event that approvals are not completed timely, the Payroll department will contact the
responsible management personnel or appropriate backup. In the event that no approvals
can be completed, the Payroll Office will process the electronic timecards as they exist at
that time for payroll purposes. An email will be sent to the management personnel
notifying them of the action that was taken. The Senior Officer responsible for the
department will be copied on the email. If there are subsequent infractions, disciplinary
action will be recommended, including the suspension of system access.
