TA 21-02, Pay Periods 25 and 26 Special Processing Instructions
Published: November 19, 2021
Effective: Pay Period 25, 2021
Summary
Timekeepers are reminded of special time and attendance (T&A) processing instructions for Pay Periods (PP) 25 and 26.
Implementation
Pay Period 25
- The first and second passes of the Payroll Processing System (PAYE) will run on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, and Thursday, December 23, 2021, respectively. However, T&As can be transmitted to the National Finance Center (NFC) as early as Friday, December 17, 2021, but no later than the close of business on Tuesday, December 21, 2021.
- Full-time employees in a pay status who normally earn 6 hours of annual leave for each full pay period (Leave Category 6) will accrue 10 hours of annual leave for PP 25, the last full pay period of calendar year 2021.
- Full-time employees in Leave Category 6 who are in a nonpay status for all of PP 25, or who reach a multiple of 80 hours of a nonpay status in this pay period, will not accrue leave.
Pay Period 26
Since PP 26 is divided between the current and next calendar year, emergency military leave (Transaction Code 68) or nonpay status hours used in PP 26 will be charged to the 2021 calendar year unless a split T&A is received to ensure that these hours are charged to the appropriate calendar year.
