How to Check HDP to CLH Errors

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.
