Reference: Leave Impacts
Use leave impacts to indicate whether a certain leave type will impact workers in other areas of Workday. Selecting a leave impact doesn't affect how Workday responds when a worker is on leave, except for these leave impacts:
- Inactivate Worker
- Payroll Effect
Use the
Schedule Leave Type Effects Synchronization
task to update these leave impacts on all existing leave events of a leave type if you've changed your leave type configuration after workers have already requested leave:
- Professional Leave Effect
- Sabbatical Effect
- Scheduling Effect
- Talent Effect
- Tenure Effect
Workday sets the leave impacts when processing the request but doesn't automatically update a leave of absence record when the leave type configuration changes. You can update an existing leave request for a worker to reflect the new configuration. Use the related action on the leave request and resubmit the request without making changes.
To trigger certain actions when a worker is on leave, build rules using the report fields to detect those events.

Absence Accrual Effect
