The Daily Mail dated January 5, 2018 advised agencies to use the Time Reporting Code (TRC) CCE to grant comp time to essential employees who are required to work during a weather related or other event when non-essential employees are released from work. It was discovered that the CCE code caused exceptions when employees had other time worked that totaled more than 24 hours in a day. To avoid this in the future, a new TRC has been created for this situation. The new code, CELWG , is now available effective December 22, 2017. The Override Reason Code (CELWG) is still available but may be unnecessary now that a distinct TRC has been created. It is at the agency’s discretion whether or not to use the two together.

Agencies have the option of changing the CCE coding on January 4, 2018 to the new code CELWG or leaving the CCE already posted however, for any of these events that occur on or after January 5, the new code CELWG should be used.

Questions about the coding should be directed to the Time and Labor Team at Core-CT.
