  • Employees who worked during the emergency closure and did not clock in or out should complete a time correction form to document hours worked.
  • Timekeepers should use the time correction form to make adjustments to the employees Kronos timecard.
  • If a non-exempt employee is required to work during an emergency closing of the University, the employee will be paid two and one-half times (2½X) his or her regular rate for all hours worked during the emergency closing.
  • Emergency closure pay is not used to calculate overtime pay.
  • Emergency closure pay does not apply to students.
