About day codes

Day codes are used within the Contract Pay Administration application to calculate employees’ compensation based on days worked. Day codes and their corresponding pay/work status include:

Day code	Pay/Work status
Paid	Paid/Worked Paid/Not Worked
Unpaid	Not Paid/Not Worked Not Paid/Worked
Weekend	Not Paid/Not Worked

For example, if a teacher contract spans a full year from August 1 to July 31 and the school year is from September 5 to May 25, then the Contract Pay Administration application automatically assigns day codes to Date Detail Maintenance (CM02.1).

• Days from August 1 to September 4 and days from May 25 to July 31 will be automatically marked with the Unpaid day code.

• Days between September 5 and May 25 that fall between Monday through Friday will be automatically marked with the Paid day code.

• Days between September 5 and May 25 that fall on Saturday or Sunday will be marked with the Weekend day code.

• Holidays or other exception days must be manually maintained with a Paid/Not Worked or Paid/Worked status day code and days such as snow days must be manually maintained with a Not Paid/Not Worked status day code.
