Entering Dock Time in CHRS

This article covers how employees can enter dock time in CHRS. Dock Time is reported when an employee does not have enough leave credits to cover an absence.

Note that there is a separate Dock Notice (Payroll Services) form in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) that must be submitted either by the timekeeper or employee by the 17th of the month for any dock time.

The dock time absence request outlined in this article also be submitted by the 17th of the month. After the 17th submission deadline, docks should be reported to both the department timekeeper and Payroll Services daily up until pay day.

More information on the dock process can be found on the Payroll FAQs webpage.

The duration will automatically calculate based on the date range you enter and the number of hours per day you typically work. Note that part-time faculty will need to use Partial Days to correctly calculate the duration.

6. If you are non-exempt staff and your absence is for less than a full day OR you are part-time faculty, click on Partial Days.

6.1. Select the Partial Days option that applies to your entry: All Days, End Day Only, Start Day Only, or Start and End Days.

Part-time faculty should choose All Days.

partial days

All Days = the partial hours will apply to each day of your dock time.

End Day Only = the partial hours will apply to only the last day of your dock time.

Start Day Only = the partial hours will apply to only the first day of your dock time.

Start and End Days = the partial hours will apply to only the first and last day of your dock time, but not any days in between.

6.2. Enter the duration of your dock time. Then click Done.

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 Duration field.

If you enter partial hours for All Days, do not include weekends or holidays in the range.
