How do I adjust leave carryover hours?
This routine will adjust employee leave hours if the employee's anniversary date, calendar year-end date, or fiscal year-end date occurs in the current pay period. Leave hours includes sick pay and vacation pay for employees that are eligible for leave hours. Use Adjust Leave Carryover Hours to adjust leave hours based on the leave rate setup.
-
If Anniversary Date is selected, leave hours will be adjusted if the anniversary date falls within the current pay period.
-
If Calendar Year End is selected, leave hours will be adjusted if the year-end date is within the current pay period.
-
If Fiscal Year End is selected, hours will be adjusted if the Fiscal Year End is within the current period.
Note: If the employee's leave balance is greater than the carryover limit for the leave rate level, Connect will create a negative leave transaction to make the employee's leave balance equal to the carryover limit.
