Administering Leave Donations

Employees may donate hours to an agency Leave Bank, ELTP, or VTLP. The contribution process is the same for the Bank and ELTP programs, where hours are donated to a common pool. However, the contribution process is different for the VLTP, where the hours are donated directly to an employee.

These topics discuss how to administer leave donations.

Leave Program Type

Select the leave program type to which the employee is donating. Valid values are the Leave Program Types you set up for Bank and Emergency leave programs.

Effective Date

The request date of the application.

Member Status

Select or view the member status of the leave request. Values are:

Applied: The Leave Bank Board has not processed the request and no annual leave contributions have been taken from the employee's current Earnings Accrual Class balance.

Approved: The leave review board has approved the donor's leave request. The system processes only Approved requests.

Contribute: The system processes the hours during the next payroll cycle and updates the hours on the employee's additional pay to reduce the balance by the donation hours on the application. Only the system can update the applicant's request to Contribute; it issues an error message if you select this value.

Cancelled: Indicates any other reason that the request is terminated.

Denied: The Leave Bank Board has evaluated the request and denied the donor's leave request.

Denial Reason 1 and Denial Reason 2

These fields appear if you select Denied as the Member Status. You must provide the applicant with at least one reason for denial.

External Leave Donations page

Record the details of donations made by an employee in your agency to another agency's leave transfer program. The system updates the donor's accrual balances when you run the Leave Bank / Transfer process.

Use the Process Leave Bank/Transfers page (RUNCTL_FGPY022) to run the Leave Bank and Transfer process to process donations and update accruals, additional pay, and leave ledgers.

Run the Leave Bank and Transfer process (FGPY022) after employees have donated hours. The process loads the Additional Pay page and applies the donation amount to the Leave Bank Ledgers. The process can be run multiple times and should be run prior to your payroll cycle.

The system processes all employee leave bank applications with Member Status Approved and an effective date equal to or before the As of Date you enter on the run control page.
