How To Adjust Employee Compensatory Time (Comp Time) Balances
Use the HIP system to adjust employee Comp Time balances through the Time and Labor WorkCenter, Team Time, or NavBar.
Comp Time can be used in lieu of paying overtime and is considered a type of time as opposed to a type of leave. Timekeepers are responsible for monitoring employee Comp Time balances as well as assisting with balance adjustments and entering transactions for employees without access to a computer, or who otherwise need assistance entering their time through their Timesheets.
