Entering a Leave Request

Access the Leave Planning form.

1. To enter a date range, click the Select Ranges button.

   Note:

   When an employee has a schedule, the system enables you to use the Use Employee Schedule option in conjunction with the day check boxes. In this case, the system cannot consider a leave request for an unscheduled day. If an employee has a schedule, but you do not select the day check box, then the system does not add the day to the leave request.

   When an employee does not have a schedule, you can request leave for any day by using the day check boxes to determine the days that should be included in the leave request within the specified date range. In this case, if you do not select a day check box, the system does not add the day to the leave request.

2. Click Next.

   Note: If you select dates directly from the calendar, you do not need to use this option.

   • Manager

     Enter a number that identifies an entry in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system, such as employee, applicant, participant, customer, supplier, tenant, or location.

   • Leave Type

     Enter a code from UDC 07/LV that describes the leave time that an employee takes or requests. You can use this information to report leave trends. The underlined leave types are links. When you select one of the leave types, the system enters that leave type into the Leave Type field and then displays a list of pay types that are available for that leave type.

     Values might include:

     C: Comp (compensation) Time

     S: Sick Time

     M: Maternity Leave Time

   • Start Date

     Enter the beginning date of a leave time that an employee is requesting or taking. If you accidentally select days in one month and then display another month during which you want to request leave time, the system does not automatically delete the days that you selected during the first month from the leave request. You must manually clear the days that are in error before you display any additional months. Otherwise, those days are included in the leave request.

     For example, if you initially load the January calendar on the form and select two days as time off, but then you determine that you actually need to take two days off during February, you must clear the January selections before you select the February calendar.

   • End Date

     Enter the ending date of leave time that an employee requests or takes.

   • Hours Per Day

     Results in a calculation.

   • Leave Explanation/Comments

     Enter employee comments that are associated with the leave transaction. The system saves entries in the F07630 table. The system displays all comments that an employee enters for a leave record and comments that a manager enters during the leave approval process.

   • Attachment

     To attach additional information to a leave request, such as supporting or required documentation, click the Attachment button. In the Manage File Attachment form, browse and select the file and click on the Attach File button.
