Copy Leave Types

Copy Leave Types

  • Create leave types.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Leave of Absence
     domain in the Time Off and Leave functional area.
You can create new leave types by duplicating existing types and their configuration values into new instances that you can rename and reuse. This allows you to:
  • Avoid error-prone manual processes, as you no longer need to recreate leave types from scratch.
  • Accelerate implementation time.
  1. Access a report that displays leave types. Example:
    • All Leave of Absence Types
    • Leave Results for Organization
    • Leave Results for Worker
    • View Leave Type
  2. From the related actions menu of the leave type, select
    Leave Type
    Copy
    .
    Workday copies everything in the configuration except for these values:
    • Leave Type ID
    • Intermittent Time Offs
    • Cascading Leave
    You can configure these values immediately on the
    Copy Leave Type
     task, or later on the
    Edit Leave Type
     task, if needed. See Create Leave Types.
  3. (Optional) Workday automatically populates the
    Leave Type
     field by appending
    (Copy)
     to the name of the existing leave type. You can edit the value to rename the new leave type instance.
  4. Click
    OK
    .
