Understanding Leave Types
You use the Leave Type Setup program (P07601) to define leave types. The system stores setup information about leave types in the F07601 table. When you set up leave types, you can:
Use existing leave types and define additional leave types.
Define the relationship of a leave type to a pay type.
Define medical leave types.
You can use any of the existing leave types that are included in UDC 07/LV and add additional leave types to this table to meet the needs of the organization. When you specify that a leave type is active, the system automatically displays the leave type for the employee when they enter leave requests in the Employee Self-Service Leave Planning And Request program (P07620).
You can also use this program to set up medical leave types. To ensure that the system accurately calculates medical leave balances and processes medical leave requests, you must set up all medical leave pay types for medical tracking. The system only considers history for medical leave pay types that have been set up to track history. Therefore, if an employee takes medical leave and uses a pay type that is not set up to track medical leave, the system does not use the hours that the employee takes to calculate the amount of medical leave time that is available to the employee.
