Where do I add an "other leave" entry?

Use an other leave type to record a leave entry for information and reporting purposes. Connect Human Resources will not use the other leave type to calculate leave in the Connect Payroll application. But it does provide a way to track leave hours for an employee for both federal FMLA and state FMLA. 

For example, the State of Washington has a paid family medical leave that is separate from the federal FMLA. The clerk needs a way to record leave time for the paid family medical leave. She can use the Other Leave tab in Modify Existing Employees to create a separate entry for paid family medical leave for an employee.

Other examples of other leave may include leave time entries for administrative, disability, FMLA, military, other leave, and workers compensation. 

To view other leave entries, you can use 

  • Employee Inquiry. Use the Other Leave tab in Employee Inquiry to view the other leave entry log. 

  •  Report Writer. Set up a custom report to pull in the other leave entry.
