Greetings HPL Employees,

Important information from the Payroll Services Team:
• Personal days and matching CSL hours have posted in Kronos.
• You will be able to see personal leave and matching CSL hours in the ESS, check date 10/21/2011.

• Employees that used 16 or fewer sick hours (CSL and/or FMLS) during the previous full benefit year received personal leave days.
• Employees must be employed a full benefit year before they qualify for personal leave days.
• At the end of the benefit year, the city will match any sick leave hours that you have accrued during that benefit year and not used.
• These hours will be added to your accruals for the next benefit year to an accrual of 1,040 hours. Once an employee has reached an accrual of 1,040 hours, employee will continue to accrue 65 hours each benefit year; however, the city will not match unused accruals after 1,040 hours.

Compensable Sick Leave Sick hours used = Personal leave days earned
None = 3 days
One minute to eight hours = 2 days
Nine to 16 hours = 1 days
More than 16 hours = 0

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Udelia Vega of the Payroll Services Team at 832-393-8853.
