The E210 system is the official University time keeping system to be used by all full and part-time staff members. It is used to document time worked, paid and unpaid leaves, holidays, vacation and sick leave accrual, etc. The system was developed to meet federal grant reporting requirements. Each employee is required to submit his/her E210 at the end of each month; it is approved monthly by the supervisor or timekeeper. Timely completion and approval each month insures the transfer of money (credit) from the Benefits Pool to the department for paid sick and vacation time taken.

Faculty and holders of appointed research positions do not complete E210's for themselves, although they may be on the system as supervisors and/or timekeepers for staff members.

The E210's for Bargaining Unit members are completed by their supervisors.

The E210 system is accessed on-line at: https://e210.johnshopkins.edu/e210/index.jsp.

Absences, Sick Leave Accrual

Sick leave for full time staff members is accrued at the rate of 1 day per month worked, up to a maximum of 90 days. Part time staff members who work on a regularly scheduled basis accrue sick leave on a pro rata basis. Limited, temporary and casual staff members do not accrue sick leave and are not eligible for leave of absence.

Absences due to non-work related illness or, dental or medical appointments, or absences due to the illness or injury of a child, spouse, same sex domestic partner, or parent, may charge the absence to sick leave. Please see the E210 codes listing to charge the absence appropriately.

Accrued sick leave cannot be taken in advance of being earned. Accrued sick leave will not be paid out to the employee upon termination. (However, there are provisions for paying out sick leave in excess of 44 days accrued upon retirement.) Please see the University’s Policy on Sick Leave and Absences for staff for additional details: http://hrnt.jhu.edu/elr/pol-man/section14.cfm

Vacation

Full time staff members begin accruing vacation in the month the staff member begins working, providing that the starting date of employment is the 10th of the month or earlier; otherwise the vacation accrual begins the following month. Full-time staff members working less than 37.5 hours per week and part-time staff members who work at least 19 hours on a regularly scheduled basis earn vacation on a pro rata basis. Limited-time, temporary and casual staff members do not earn vacation.

Employees are eligible to take vacation leave after 90 days of employment. Vacation cannot be taken in advance of being earned.

Accrued vacation for eligible employees (up to a maximum of 44 days) must be taken within 24 months of the month of which it is earned. Once the maximum vacation is accrued, no additional time can be accrued until some is used and the total falls below the maximum of 44 days. Exceptions may be made only when the Chair submits documentation to KSAS HR that vacation has been deferred at the University's request. To allow vacation accrual in excess of the maximum, an Electronic E210 adjustment form (found on the bottom of the time administrators E210 screen), must be completed by the department payroll coordinator or the E210 time administrator and submitted to Annie Eckenrode, KSAS Payroll Coordinator. KSAS HR must sign the E210 adjustment form and then will submit it to the E210 Help Office for correction.

Staff members who terminate following 90 days or more of employment will be paid for unused vacation leave up to a maximum of 44 days.

Please see the E210 codes listing to charge the vacation appropriately. Additional information can be found on the University's Policy - Vacation Leave for staff at: http://hrnt.jhu.edu/elr/pol-man/section11.cfm

New Hires

Information appearing on an employee's E210 originates with the approved hiring ISR. Effective 7/2002, users login to the E210 using their JHED login ID. Users that do not currently know their JHED login ID and password should create their login ID and password as soon as possible. To do so, users should connect to the JHED server at http://jhed.jhu.edu and follow the directions for establishing a JHED login and ID and password. Call E210 Help at x74357 for assistance.

E-210 System Problems

Although information for the E210 initially comes from the information input into SAP through the hiring ISR, payroll updates may not always reflect on the E210. Therefore, modifications not transferred directly from the Payroll System must be corrected by an E210 administrator. While each department has its own E210 Administrator, some changes may have to be made by KSAS HR (see contacts below.)

The E210 Help Desk may be contacted at x74357. Department Administrators may contact Annie Eckenrode, KSAS Payroll Coordinator x66438 for answers to general questions about the system.

One common error with the E210 system is improper accrual of vacation and/or sick leave. One reason for inaccurate accrual rates is errors in the Payroll System, i.e. hours or days per week worked, employment date, etc. Once these are corrected via an ISR, the supervisor should complete an E210 adjustment form and forward it to Annie Eckenrode, KSAS Payroll Coordinator, Suite 248 Mergenthaler Hall for approval. The E210 adjustment form will be signed by KSAS HR and then forwarded to Sharon McBride, Divisional Payroll Records Coordinator (x65110) for processing. Sharon also is a good resource for trouble shooting E210 problems.

Transfers/Terminations

Transfers:

When an employee leaves one department to take a position in another department, the receiving department will process the ISR to reassign the employee to the new department. Once the ISR has been processed and the system is uploaded, the E210 records will be corrected to reflect the new information. Which department (old or new) approves current month's E210 depends on when in the month person transfers and when the ISR is processed and approved.

Do not put "T" on E-210 for a transfer - use only if the person leaves the university (termination).

Terminations:

HR Payroll will check to see if the vacation payout (if allowable) agrees with the amount on the E-210. (This is when "T" goes on E-210.)


Floating Holidays

Staff members employed at the Homewood campus as of July 1, but no later than December 31 observes Commencement Day and will have one floating holiday available during the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). See Personnel Policy Manual for additional information http://hrnt.jhu.edu/elr/pol-man/section12.cfm#D Floating holidays cannot be carried over from one fiscal year to another.

Floating holidays not taken during the fiscal year are lost. Floating holidays must be taken in full day increments. At termination, there is no payment for unused floating holidays.

For those Homewood campus staff who work Commencement Day, the "X" which is indicated on Commencement Day in the E210 system would remain indicating that day was worked and the code "AH" (Alternate Holiday) would be indicated for the day taken in its place with an explanation.

Short and Long-Term Disability

Employees who have elected short term disability during the annual benefits period may apply for benefits by contacting directly the short term disability benefit carrier, The Hartford. Once the short term disability has been approved by The Hartford, the insurance carrier will forward a letter of determination directly to the employee’s supervisor of record. In the majority of cases, those qualifying for short term disability are also eligible for FML. Please see section on FML, below. The department administrator may also contact the Divisional HR Payroll Office, Sharon McBride, to determine if the short or long term disability has been approved. The E210 system will calculate time if the employee chooses to supplement STD with accrued time.

Overpayment of Salary While on Short Term Disability

If there is an overpayment due to approval of STD and lag time in getting the ISR and E210 forms processed, the overpayment can be repaid via a salary reduction. The department administrator determines the amount of the overpayment and forwards that information to the KSAS Dean’s Office, Nancy Fleming, x68720, for processing. The KSAS Dean’s office will contact the employee directly, determine the payback amount and schedule, and process the paperwork needed to make the corrections within SAP. The employee must be left with at least the minimum wage based on a 40 hour week after payroll deductions.

Long Term Disability

Long-Term Disability cannot be supplemented with sick time. LTD can only be supplemented with vacation time without incurring penalties for the employee.

FMLA/Worker's Compensation

When a staff member is approved for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act or Worker’s Compensation, the appropriate code(s) need to be entered into the E210 system for the period during which FMLA is approved. E210 codes and their definitions can be found on the E210 main page. FMLA is not paid leave; the staff member must use sick or vacation time if it is available.

PLEASE CONTACT KSAS HR WHENEVER A STAFF MEMBER IS OUT OF WORK FOR AN FML QUALIFYING REASON, AND/OR IS NOTIFIED OF FML/SHORT TERM DISABILITY APPROVAL SO THAT KSAS HR CAN PROCESSTHE APPROPRIATE ISRs FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

If Worker's Compensation is granted, there is a three day “waiting period” during which the staff member receives no pay from Worker’s Compensation; she/he must use accrued sick/vacation pay if available. After three days of absence, the staff member will receive 66-2/3% of normal pay. She/he can choose whether or not to take supplemental vacation or sick leave. They must notify their departmental administrator in writing if they want to do this. There is no code for Worker's Compensation on the E210 system (other than the "e" code for 3-day waiting period).

FMLA can run concurrent with Worker's Compensation. Sometimes Long-Term Disability can run concurrently with Worker's Comp. Short-Term Disability may not run concurrently with Long-term.
