Accruing and Taking Other Types of Leave

This section discusses the rules for processing the following other types of leave:

  • Workers' compensation.

  • Maternity leave.

  • Leave without pay.

  • Jury service.

These types of leave are per absence entitlements, not frequency-based entitlements. They have the following common characteristics:

  • They are all based on a generic entitlement GENERIC ENT, for which the entitlement is formula LVE FM ENT HRS. GENERIC ENT also has the conditional formula LVE FM SCHED HRS (per absence entitlements must have a conditional formula).

  • The individual takes for these absences all use entitlement GENERIC ENT.

  • The individual takes for these absences all map to earnings OTHLV (except LWOP, which maps to LWOP).

  • Earnings OTHLV's calculation rule is Unit × Rate, where Unit is payee level (positive input by the take processing) and Rate is hourly rate (LWOP has the same calculation rule but its rate is variable 0).

  • The individual takes for these absences all use the day formula LVE FM HRS ABS PH, which is the same day formula used by the takes for Annual Leave—Hours, Annual Leave Hours per Hour, and Sick Leave—Hours.

  • None of the elements have a qualifying eligibility period except the maternity take.

This section discusses the general processing of per absence entitlement and explains the single exception.

  1. The take's day formula determines the hours to be paid for each day in the leave period.

  2. The absence entitlement's formula determines how many hours to grant as entitlement—either the partial hours or the scheduled hours.

    The conditional formula then verifies that there are scheduled hours (that is, the employee would have been working). If there are scheduled hours, the entitlement is granted for the hours that the day formula has determined.

  3. The taken hours, to which the employee is entitled according to the entitlement and conditional formulas, become DAY COUNT PD units for the earnings OTHLV or LWOP.

    (There are no DAY COUNT UNP days because entitlement always equals the leave duration requirement.)

The take for maternity leave, MATERNITY TKE, has period eligibility formula LVE FM MAT QUAL DT. The two conditions are:

  • The duration of the leave is not more than one year.

  • The employee has worked for a year or more.

The formula uses duration LVE DR MAT QUAL to check the first condition and the date LVE FM MAT QUAL DT to check the second.
