LASC Explains Coding for Time and A Half ... Still Some Glitches

CFI received this communication from LASC on March 27, 2020:

Update: Timekeeping (COVID-19)

Pursuant to the side letter agreement the union signed with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, related to the COVID-19 pandemic, employees will be paid time and a half if they are directed to report to a courthouse to work on-site. The Court does not currently have a payroll code to track the additional half time.  Accordingly, the Court is working with the Auditor-Controller to create a timekeeping code for the payroll event.   Once the new payroll code is approved by the Auditor-Controller, the Court will process the retroactive time. Straight time will continue to be paid.  

We will continue to keep you updated as we hear more from the Auditor-Controller.

Dear Members,

Please see communication below sent to Governor Newsom and Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye regarding the urgent need for action for court interpreters.  All the Courts received the letter via email.
