Emergency Description

While receiving hours from a leave program, the recipient must be enrolled in the leave program accrual class to record hours donated and used.

If the program is either a Bank or VLTP, terminate enrollment from their regular and sick earnings accrual classes using the Employee Accruals Enrollment page. Then enroll the recipient into the deferred accrual classes to track accruals during the program participation and enforce the maximum entitlement.

If there is an auto enrollment leave class rule set up for the leave programs, then once the approved request is saved, the application opens the employee's Employee Accruals Enrollment page and inserts the earning accrual defined in the class rule. While in the page, you may terminate the annual and sick and enroll the employee in the deferred annual and sick accrual classes.

Access the Process Leave Bank / Transfer Page.

The Leave Bank & Transfer process (FGPY022) processes Approved recipients.

If the employee is participating in a Bank or ELTP, the process:

  • Updates the recipient's Additional Pay page with the earnings code defined on the Earnings Code Table with Received from Bank as the Leave Earning Type.

  • Updates the Leave Bank Ledger with hours withdrawn.

  • If the employee is participating in a VLTP, the process updates the recipient's Additional Pay page with earnings code defined on the Earnings Code Table with Received from Donor as the Leave Earning Type.
