*FT employees could be eligible for 80 hours
New Legislation may necessitate setup of both a Temporary Expansion of FMLA and an Emergency Sick Leave. The Legislation is expected to go into effect on April 1, 2020 and apply until December 31, 2020.
Clients should determine how to comply with this legislation and then NEOGOV can assist them with different configuration options.
To learn more, please read the [Legislative Bill|https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6201/text#H1B37C1BB44814778ABACA3291A1F87B9] .
This document covers the setup of __Emergency Sick Leave__.

**Part-time employees are entitled to the number of hours of paid sick time equal to the number of hours they work, on average, over a 2-week period.
*Approach – prorate the PT employees’ entitlement based on their work assignment’s FTE, otherwise enter the hours to be granted on the employee’s statistic records (IEST). The Stat will be used as an override. Whether or not an employee is eligible would be handle outside of the system.
*In the case of leaves to care for a family member or child, however, the required sick pay is based on 2/3rds of the regular rate of pay.
*For part-time employees whose schedule varies from week to week, special rules apply to calculate the average number of hours.

!Sick Leave Reasons
![Sick Leave Reasons|]
At line 19 changed 16 lines
#1. The employee is subject to a federal, state, or local quarantine or isolation order related to COVID-19;
#2. The employee has been advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine because of COVID-19;
#3. The employee is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and is seeking a medical diagnosis;
#4. The employee is caring for an individual subject (or advised) to quarantine or isolation;
#5. The employee is caring for a son or daughter whose school or place of care is closed, or childcare provider is unavailable, due to COVID-19 precautions; or
#6. The employee is experiencing substantially similar conditions as specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretaries of Labor and Treasury.
//
Payments are capped at $511 a day ($5,110 in total) for dealing with an employee’s own illness or quarantine (reasons 1, 2 and 3 above). Employees who are caring for an individual affected by COVID-19 and those whose children's schools have closed (reasons 4, 5 and 6 above) receive up to two-thirds of their pay, and that benefit is limited to $200 a day ($2,000 in total).
As well, it is our understanding that reason 5 also applies to the regular FMLA bank. If this is not your understanding then E-SICK Tkn Child is not required below. The set up can remain the same except for the E-Sick Taken Child will not be tied to the FMLA leave policy.
Therefore, three sets of pay components and time codes will be:
E-Sick Tkn Self – EE hrs and dollars – paid at a maximum rate of $511 per day.
E-Sick Tkn Care – EE hrs and Dollars paid at a maximum of $200 per day.
E-Sick Tkn Child - EE hrs and Dollars paid at a maximum of $200 per day. Reason 5 above, this bank will reduce the E-Sick bank and the regular FMLA bank.
Approach - both self and family care are eligible for the paid sick leave. Our understanding is that the daily totals would be added together to form the aggregate maximum. So if someone used 2 days to care for a family member at $200/day and the other 8 days to care for themselves at $511/day the aggregate would be $4488 ($400 + $4088).
Therefore, each employee could have their own dollar aggregate maximum. The Leave Policy will apply the aggregate maximum to the HOURS between the three categories to a maximum of 80. The rates will be capped on the individual pay components therefore the total dollar aggregate amount is unnecessary.
The leave bank must be set up to disallow over 80 hours. Therefore, any hours in the PC’s will be paid at the reduce/capped rate.

![Full Time Equivalent Wages|]
Question:for part-time employees, how are their standard hours per day coded on the work assignment?  \\
\\
There are two approaches in the system:\\
a.  Coded like full time employees with a reduced FTE. 
*Example 8 hours per day is defined on their work assignment with an FTE of 0.75, full-time equivalent. The employee will be paid 6 hours per day. \\
\\
b.  Coded with the reduced hours per day of 6 hours with an FTE of 1.   
*If you code the PT with the FT equivalent of 8 hours, then different logic is required to multiple their std hours by the FTE. Use the UserCalc E-SICK FTE.
**Details Available for Download (Screenshots appear later in Document) - [E-SICK_FTE.xlsx].        
*If you code their PT employees with the full-time equivalent of 6 hours, then use the E-SICK UserCalc.
**Details Available for Download (Screenshots appear later in Document) - [E-SICK.xlsx]
\\
If you are unsure, select a part-time employee and go the work assignment screen (IEAS), Compensation Tab.  If the Fulltime Wage toggle is turned on, then use the E-SICK FTE UserCalc.

*E-SICK EE D-CAP for the Employee e-sick pay daily maximum of $511
*E-SICK EE MAX for the Employee e-sick aggregate maximum of $5110
*E-SICK Care D-CAP for the care of others daily maximum of $200
*E-SICK Care Max aggregate maximum of $2,000
![New Pay Components|] ([IPPC])
Clients can use their own coding and naming conventions.  Be sure to change the pay components on the UserCalc to your codes.   
*E-Sick Taken Hrs (PC 457)
*E-Sick Taken $ (PC 1457)     
*E-Sick Taken Care (458)
*E-Sick Tkn Care $ (1458)
*E-Sick Tkn Child (459)
*E-Sick Tkn Child $ (1459)
\\Calculation Method for E-Sick Taken Hrs (PC 457) hours pay components = EV X Rate
* EV = enter value are the hours keyed.
* Rate = employee standard rate of pay \\
The daily maximum will be applied during UPCALC via the UserCalc.
\\Calculation Method for E-Sick Taken Care and Child Hrs (PC 458 and 459) hours pay components = EV X Rate      
*EV = enter value are the hours keyed.      
*Rate = employee standard rate of pay
The daily maximum will be applied during UPCALC via the UserCalc.
Set up the properly GL coding (IDGA/IPPC)  
Update all required elements.
*Hint: Run the RPPE report and search for Sick Leave Earnings.       
*Be sure to update your pay stub elements to report on the employee’s pay advice. 
*Do not include the earnings into FICA-ER elements as these earnings are not subject to employer portion of FICA.

The UserCalc must be of the type ‘Function’, with a return value of the type ‘Boolean’. Use the RET operator to return the Boolean value of True or False.
The false value is interpreted by the component as an instruction to exit the leave policy without further processing.__/%

**Qualification – UserCa
***Only execute the UserCalc if the employee has e-sick hours by checking the E-SICK element for a value.
***The second qualification really should not be required. Check the YTD hours taken (E-SICK element) is greater/equal to 80 then issue a message and exit. 
***The time entry should capture the LWOP once the employee exceeds their 80 hour entitlement.
**Calculate the two capped and daily rates (lines 100)
***Move the employee’s regular work assignment daily rate to variable REG DAILY RATE
***Move the lessor of the reduce daily rate or $200 into variable DAILY RATE CARE
***Move the lessor of the daily rate or $511 into variable DAILY RATE CARE
**Calculate the employee’s aggregate maximum
***This section is not required since the time entry will cap at 80 hours
**At this point in the UserCalc, we have the current rates capped/reduced to be paid to the employee.  Calculate the earnings and populate the earnings PC’s.
***Multiple HRLY RATE SELF X number of hours in PC 457 and replace PC 1457
