Dock Notice (Payroll Services)

This article covers how to complete the Dock Notice (Payroll Services) form in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Docks are used when an employee does not have enough leave credits to cover an absence.

Check with your department timekeeper or manager to find out who is responsible for submitting the Dock Notice form. In some departments, it is the department timekeeper who submits the Dock Notice; in other departments, it is the employee who submits the Dock Notice.

Dock Notice Forms must be submitted to Payroll by the 17th of the month. More information on the dock process can be found on the Payroll FAQs webpage.

In addition to the Dock Notice Form, employees must submit a dock time absence request in CHRS by the 17th of the month (this is the only absence entry needed before the end of the pay period).

After the 17th submission deadline, docks should be reported to both the department timekeeper and Payroll Services daily up until pay day. The entries on the Dock Notice Form and the dock absence request(s) in CHRS must match. Dock entries are due before the end of the pay period, because they directly impact your pay check for the current pay period and cause an overpayment if reported late.

7. Next, enter the number of hours for the absence.

Part-Time Faculty should calculate the duration by multiplying their time base by 8 hours.

For example, if your time base is 0.50 FTE, multiply 0.50 by 8 hours to get 4 hours (0.50 x 8 = 4). So you would enter 4 hours in the Hour Absent field.
