Posted on by Jeff Feiertag

When you activate the emergency button (EB) on 7D, 7E or any secondary talkgroup (TG) in an incident block, the radio uses emergency revert, which means you radio will jump back to the primary incident TG in the block and activate the emergency from there.

 

How to Check HDP to CLH Errors

Posted on by Jeff Feiertag

If a holiday move was done incorrectly (e.g., the wrong date, you will see negative hours. Here’s the process:

  • Access My Genies and select the Check Overtime genie.
  • Select the group you are reviewing (e.g., A Shift).
  • Change the Time Period to Range of Dates and key in the three or four days before the holiday.
  • Click twice on the HDP column.
  • Look for any row with negative hours in HDP or CLH. This results from a move on an incorrect date.
  • Repeat the process with the three days following the holiday.

Additionally, some timecards may have lost the HDP entirely before anyone tried to move to CLH. This comes up with personnel either in MIL or AWOL status (among other system errors). To check for HDP/CLH that is NOT on timecards due to possible pay pule errors:

  • Access My Genies and select the Check Overtime genie.
  • Select the group you are reviewing (e.g., A Shift).
  • Change the Time Period to the specific holiday date.
  • Click on the HDP column and then on the CLH column.
  • Follow down the entire list of employees and make sure everyone has hours showing in either HDP or CLH columns.   If someone does not, then you’ll need to review the timecard.

Checking Pay Code Moves

Posted on by Jeff Feiertag

●      Verify that the same code is used in the From Account and To Account columns for any OT to CL3 move. Widen the columns as needed. Remember, though, that pay code moves onto involve transfer codes when money is involved. If the move is from Annual Leave to Comp Leave, no transfer codes apply.

●      Verify that any move that starts out as HDP (Holiday Pay) goes to CLH (Comp Leave – Holiday). HDP cannot be moved to any other type of leave.

●      Verify that the date of any move matches the hours entered for the initial pay code in the timecard.

●      Check to ensure that the number of hours moved is less than or equal to the number of hours for that entry in the timecard. (For example, if an employee took four hours of Annual Leave and the manager moved the Annual Leave to Comp Leave Supplemental, you want to ensure that the manager didn’t accidentally move 14 hours instead of four.)

Verifying Held-on-Incident vs. Continued Backfill

Posted on by Jeff Feiertag

When someone works his/her normal shift and goes on a call that bleeds over, past the end of his/her shift, then (s)he should add a row of Hours Worked with transfer codes as follows:

●      Cost Center: The station’s cost center

●      Reason: FRS060HI (Held in Incident)

When someone works overtime and goes on a call that bleeds over, past the end of his/her shift, then (s)he should not add an entry for FRS060HI. Instead, (s)he should add in continued backfill (such as FRS060FF with the station’s Cost Center).

Further, since no day may have more than 24 hours of regular Hours Worked, the individual may need to put the time (continued FRS060HI or a backfill) on the following day in MCtime.
