Know About Preparing Input Data
You organize and prepare your documents by person or group.
 Calculate the compensation amount
•
For Extra Services Weekly Paid, if work exceeds 40 hours in the week being
compensated, the compensation amount should be calculated to account for
overtime pay (i.e. time-and-a-half)*
•
Additional Pay Types other than Extra Services Weekly and Vacation Payout
require no calculation; in these cases, enter the total amount of pay
 Determine the proper Job Class, Fund, Object, Program, and CREF codes
 Scan attachments (required documents vary by Additional Pay Type)
*For Extra Services Additional Pay to Weekly Paid employees working
multiple jobs at different rates, consult Human Resources Compensation at
215-898-1317 for details on calculating and processing.
*Weekly paid employees who work extra hours as part of their regular job
duties should be paid overtime through On-Line Time Reporting.

Routing History
