Steps: Set Up a Leave Balance Deduction Override

Steps: Set Up a Leave Balance Deduction Override

Security: This domain in the Time Off and Leave functional area:
  • Set Up: Leave of Absence.
You can enable a Leave Balance Deduction Override on a leave type so that workers can take twice the amount of leave by deducting from a leave balance at half of the rate.
  1. Access the
    Create Leave Type
     task to create a new leave type, or
    Edit Leave Type
     task to access an existing leave type to enable Leave Balance Deduction Override on.
  2. On the
    Balance/Leave Taken
     tab, select the
    Leave Balance Deduction Override
     check box.
  3. Select one or more
    Additional Leave Types
    . Any additional leave type that you select must not track balances. The main leave type and the additional leave types must use the same units, and must be the same type, position based, or not position based. The additional leave type that you select will count as units taken for the main leave type.
When a worker takes leave of the configured leave type, they will deduct from the balance at half of the original rate.
On the
Request Absence
 task, workers will see their available and remaining leave balances that they can make a request against with the selected leave type. The
Available Balance
 displays their balance at the override rate, which is double the entitlement. The
Remaining Balance
 displays the available balance minus the requested amount.
If you update an existing leave type, all previous leave requests of that type will be retroactively updated.
A worker's leave entitlement is always shown at the of the full rate of deduction, not the Leave Balance Deduction Override rate.
Use the
All Leave Families
 report to see which leave types have leave balance deduction override enabled.
