As we continue to operate under maximum telework flexibilities during the national pandemic, please remember to code your telework hours in Paycheck8 as follows:

• Regular telework (core): Descriptor Code 11, Transaction Code 01
• Unscheduled (situational) telework: Descriptor Code 17, Transaction Code 01

You can use the guide Coding Telework in Paycheck8  to assist with correctly coding Telework hours.  For questions regarding the Telework Program, please contact your Telework Coordinator or send an email to:telework@usda.gov.

Below are additional pay reminders:

• Employees must submit Time & Attendance records (T&As) on their last workday of the pay period.
• Supervisors must review and approve T&As no later than 5 p.m. (CDT) Tuesday (following the end of the previous pay period).
• Employees may experience a delay in getting paid if their T&A is submitted after the deadline.

• Refer to the T&A Guide for Supervisors to assist employees and supervisors in reviewing T&As.
