Create Leave Payout Timesheets

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to generate leave payout timesheets.

Earned leave or earned vacation paid to an employee leaving the company may constitute a leave payout, for example.

There must be a date in the Termination field of the Employee User Flow application (People\Maintain\Employee) before you can create leave payout timesheets; in addition, this date must fall within an open leave period in order for these records to be processed.

If you selected the Eligible for Leave Payout checkbox (and the Leave Payout Pay Type field is populated) in the Leave Types screen (People\Configure\Leave), the employee(s) who are assigned this leave type are eligible for leave payout processing.  

You may use this screen to generate leave payout type timesheets for payout of leave balances for employees who terminated within the selected termination date range, or for employees who have a leave payable balance that is greater than zero (from year ceiling excess). This leave payout type timesheet is similar to an"R" (Regular) timesheet, and payout is included in the employee's next paycheck that corresponds with the employee's timesheet date.

This application includes logic that allows you to compute and report tax withholdings for multiple states.

Use the Employee Non-Contiguous Ranges subtask to enter non-contiguous employee records that require leave payout activity.  If you are not entering non-contiguous records, use of this subtask is not required.

You can cancel this process at any time; however, if you are satisfied with your record specifications, you must click the Action icon to execute this process.

When should I use this screen?

Three conditions are evaluated before this process is executed:

You also must use the Create Leave Payout Timesheets screen before you execute the Compute Payroll program.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID.  A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters.  Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.  

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency.  Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process.  If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults.  You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as “PERIOD” or “QUARTERLY.”  

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Parameter Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
