Understanding Global Leave System Controls
You use the Leave Administration Setup program (P07600) to specify company constants settings that are associated with leave processing and define the basic parameters for the medical leave policy and leave by Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave policy of the organization. This table describes the features:
Feature |
Description |
|---|---|
Automatic creation of timecards for leave requests |
When you select automatic timecard creation, the system generates a timecard for the leave period each time that an employee leave request is approved by a manager. |
Resource scheduling |
When you select resource scheduling, the system copies approved leave requests into tables that are used by the Resource Assignments module, which is part of the EnterpriseOne Enterprise Asset Management system. You can then use information that is associated with employee leave to plan and schedule company resources. |
Medical leave tracking |
When you select medical leave tracking, the system tracks time entry and leave information that is required to comply with the FMLA. |
ESS FMLA Substitution |
When you select this option, the system enables you to substitute the employee FMLA with other categories of leaves within the Employee Self-Service Leave Planning And Request program (P07620). |
If different companies within the organization have different leave policies, you can set up company-specific information for leave system controls. Alternatively, you can create a default set of leave system controls for Company 00000 that the system uses for all of the companies within the organization. At a minimum, you must set up leave system controls for Company 00000. You can then set up company-specific controls. The system uses the leave system controls that you set up for Company 00000 to process leave information for any company that does not have specific controls. Leave administration setup information is stored in F07600.
When verifying leave balances for sick and vacation leave requests, the system calculates the available balance using calendar, fiscal, or anniversary year, depending on the sick and vacation leave policy of the organization.
If the leave policy is based upon a calendar year, the system uses information from the F06146 table to calculate the number of leave hours that the employee has accumulated. The system subtracts the amount of leave time taken from the amount of leave time accumulated to determine the available leave balance.
If the leave policy is based upon a fiscal, anniversary, or other noncalendar year, the system uses information from the F06147 table to calculate the number of leave hours that the employee has accumulated. The system subtracts the amount of leave time taken from the amount of leave time accumulated to determine the available leave balance.
When it verifies leave balances for medical or FMLA leave requests, the system calculates the amount of medical leave time or FMLA leave time that the employee has taken during the specified medical-leave time period using information from the F06146 table. The system then subtracts the amount of medical or FMLA leave that was taken from the value that you enter on the Leave Administration Setup form.
