Bonus Day Reporting for Calendar Year 2021

May 13, 2021
As announced by President Bacow in his email on April 14, 2021, the University has awarded two additional paid days off (bonus days) for the summer of 2021.  These bonus days are granted for 2021 only and are not official University Holidays and should not be treated as such. Many users have asked which time types to use when reporting time for the two bonus days. Here are some guidelines for clerical/technical workers. (see note 1). 

 

Time Reporting Scenarios

For the two bonus days this year (June 1st and July 2nd), non-exempt employees will be paid double time for hours worked, they will not be able to “bank” time to be taken later. In addition to reporting Regular (REG) for hours worked, there are three new time reporting/earnings codes to report this time.
 
Time Reporting Codes:

BDO – Bonus Day Off

  • Used to report hours scheduled but not worked
  • Paid at hourly rate

BDW – Bonus Day Worked

  • Used to report hours worked (to pay double time)
  • Paid at hourly rate
  • Does not add to overtime hours but does add to FLSA rate

BDP– Bonus Day Paid

  • Used to pay out hours for those not scheduled to work (payout is one-fifth of the employees scheduled hours for the week)
  • Paid at Hourly Rate
  • Does not add to Overtime Hours

REG– Regular

  • Used to report hours worked
  • Paid at hourly rate
