Subject: Recording Injury Hours in ePTO and on Monthly Payroll Vouchers
Source: Financial Management Services
Original Date of Issue: November 2015
Date of Last Revision: December 2017
Rationale: To clarify the appropriate use of injury earn codes on the monthly payroll voucher.
Procedure
When an exempt employee has an injury, it must be accepted and approved by IU Workers’ Compensation before it can be recorded in ePTO as Injury. Once approved, the Department must request expanded access to the ‘advanced’ tab in ePTO to allow the employee to record the earn codes listed below. Requests for the expanded access must be submitted via the ePTO Support Form.
Per Policy HR-11-30 Injury on the Job, employees may supplement Workers’ Comp lost-time payments by recording up to a maximum of 4 benefit hours per day. Use of PTO accruals in 8 hour increments is not required when associated with Injury.
If IJM/INA needs to be recorded for previous pay periods, an adjustment voucher must be submitted using the corresponding pay period end dates.
