Understanding Leave Administration

Set up Earnings codes and Earnings Accrual Classes.

Use automatic leave enrollment functionality to enroll an employee automatically in an earnings accrual class with personnel action request (PAR) activity or approval to participate in a leave program. The system automatically populates the employee's leave enrollment record with default enrollment values based on the leave class rules you set up. You can manually override the defaults.

Here are the steps in administering automatic leave enrollment:

1. Set up the Leave Class Rules template (one-time set up).

2. Set up Leave Class Rule criteria (one-time set up).

3. Process PAR activity or approval to participate in a leave program.

4. Run the Auto Leave Enrollment process.

5. Review the results of the Auto Leave Enrollment process.

6. Adjust enrollments as necessary.

Each Federal Government agency may establish and administer procedures to permit the voluntary transfer of annual leave between Federal Government employees in a time of crisis. A crisis can be a personal medical emergency or a situation deemed as an emergency of the agency.

There are three types of programs in which employees may donate or receive annual leave hours. These programs have similar but slightly different eligibility or usage rules. Employees may participate in more than one program.
