Used Leave Limits Subtask

The Used Leave Limits subtask allows you to maintain annual used leave limits by months of service when annual usage limits apply.

Contents

Field	Description
Months of Service	Enter the number of months of completed service for which the used leave limit rule applies. This column determines which line of the table will be used to determine the limit amount. After an employee completes the designated months of service, the employee's used leave for the leave year or anniversary year will be limited by the specified Annual Limit on Used Leave when timesheets are entered or imported An employee's months of service is based on the Leave Hire Date if it's assigned to the employee and leave type on the Manage Employee Leave screen. It is also based on the Months of Service Calculation method selected on the Configure Leave Settings screen. If the method is Leave Period Start Date and the employee completed the designated months of service on or before the open leave period start date, then the corresponding accrual rate and ceiling amounts will be applied. If the method is Leave Period End Date and the employee completes the designated months of service on or before the open leave period end date, then the corresponding accrual rate and ceiling amounts will be applied. For example, if you enter 12 in this field, the employee accrues the leave rate after completing 12 months of service. The table below shows the possible period when the new accrual rate takes effect. Hire Date Method 12 Months Leave Period in which employee completes designated months of service 02/01/17 Start 02/01/18 02/01/18 - 02/14/18 02/10/17 Start 02/10/18 02/15/18 - 02/28/18 02/01/17 End 02/01/18 02/01/18 - 02/14/18 02/10/17 End 02/10/18 02/01/18 - 02/14/18 Note: Costpoint uses calendar months when determining time periods that are fractions of a year (for example, 1/31/00 to 2/28/00 = 1 month, as does 01/28/00 to 02/28/00, 02/28/00 to 03/31/00 = 1 month, and so on). This does not apply to the deferral of leave because days, rather than months, are entered in the Days to Defer Leave Usage field. When you select Leave Period Start Date in the Months of Service Calculation group box on the Configure Leave Settings screen, the start dates for semi-monthly payroll periods are the 1st and the 16th of the month. If a leave hire date is assigned to the employee and leave type on the Manage Employee Leave screen, then months of service is based on the specified leave hire date. Otherwise, if no leave hire date is specified, the months of service is based on the employee's current hire date from the Manage Employee Information screen.
Annual Limit on Used Leave	If the leave type is tracked by hours and is set up to apply a limit to the leave an employee may use in a year, use this field to specify the maximum number of hours an employee may use. The timesheet entry and import applications will impose a limit on the annual used leave. If leave is tracked by amount, enter the maximum amount an employee may charge in a year. Rules for used leave limitations can be set up on the Manage Leave Types screen.
