Concept: Pay for Workers on Leave
When the run category of a pay group includes conditions for paying workers on leave, Workday
applies these rules.
Workers with Single Job on Leave
When a worker is on a leave of absence for part of a period, and paid while on leave, Workday
automatically prorates earnings during the on-cycle payroll. The leave type must be
configured with
Payroll Effect
selected.To set up reduced pay for workers on leave, configure the base pay component for
workers on leave to pay a reduced amount. You can view the base pay component for
workers on leave on the
Nonactive (On Cycle, On Demand
Replacement)
tab of the run category. - Example: Worker on Leave for Partial Period
- The current monthly pay period is 2012-01-01 to 2012-01-31. Sam is placed on short-term disability from 2012-01-04 to 2012-01-24 and receives 80% of his pay during his leave. For the January pay period, Workday calculates gross-to-net amounts for these subperiods:The current monthly pay period is 2012-01-01 to 2012-01-31. Sam is placed on short-term sickness from 2012-01-04 to 2012-01-24 and receives 80% of his pay during his leave. For the January pay period, Workday calculates gross-to-net amounts for these subperiods:
- 2012-01-01 to 2012-01-03 (100% of pay)
- 2012-01-04 – 2012-01-24 (80% of pay)
- 2012-01-25 – 2012-01-31 (100% of pay)
Workers with Multiple Jobs on Leave
Workday considers the type of leave when determining which pay components to process for
workers with a status of
On Leave
. Type of Leave | Pay Components Processed |
|---|---|
Both position-based and worker-based | Workday considers the union of both leave types when determining which
pay components to process. |
Position-based | The leave type for the primary job applies when processing worker-based
pay components. |
Workday processes worker-based pay components according to the worker status. If the worker
has multiple jobs, the status of the primary position prevails.
- Example: Worker on Both Position-Based Leave and Worker-Based Leave
- Charles has 2 jobs and is on these leave types for the entire month of April:
- Worker-based leave type A
- Position-based leave type B (for primary job of carpenter)
- Position-based leave type C (for additional job of painter)
