Employee Leave Beginning Balances

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to create, edit, or view employee leave beginning balances.

You must create at least one record in this screen when you initialize Costpoint to identify the leave year; however, you do not need to establish a record for each employee during this initialization.

The leave year is validated when you execute the Compute Leave Accruals (People\Transactions\Leave) and Close Leave Year programs.

When you compute leave accruals or post labor (for used leave) for the first time, the system automatically creates the remaining employee records, based on the leave type assigned for the current leave year.

You can also use this screen to create records for new employees who were allowed to retain unused leave from a previous employer, as the result of an acquisition, for instance.  

When you close the leave year, new lines are added for each leave type assigned to each employee with a "carried over" leave balance for the new leave year.  After you close the leave year, you can edit these records if the beginning balance for the new year is inaccurate.

When should I use this screen?

You must initialize the Leave Types screen (People\Configure\Leave) and the Employee User Flow screen (People\Maintain\Employee) before you can add or edit data in this application.

Warning:  Rights to this screen should be given sparingly.  Since leave totals are calculated cumulatively, you want to ensure the validity of the data in this application.
