Leave Details

Field Description
Leave Type

Enter, or click to select, the leave type to assign to this employee. You must first set up this leave type on the Manage Leave Types screen. This is a required field.

Used to track excess leave

This non-editable checkbox is populated based on the leave type entered on this screen. If the leave type's Use to track excess leave checkbox is selected on the Manage Leave Types screen, this checkbox is automatically selected. If an employee's leave balance exceeds a specified limit, you can opt to transfer the excess to another leave type known as the Excess Leave Type. This setting tells you whether the leave type you specified is used to track that excess leave.

Used for Leave Payout

This non-editable checkbox populates after you enter a leave type on this screen. If the Use as Excess Leave Type checkbox is selected on the Manage Leave Types screen for the leave type you entered on this screen, this checkbox is automatically selected.

Used for mandatory leave with supplemental compensation

This non-editable checkbox indicates whether the leave type's Mandated leave with supplemental compensation checkbox is selected on the Manage Leave Types screen. If it is, the screen enables the Mandatory Leave with Supplemental Compensation subtask where you must enter the employee's paid leave dates, the accrual date, the number of hours to be used and the employee's hourly supplemental compensation amount.

Annual accrual limit is based on anniversary year

This non-editable checkbox indicates whether the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is set to Limit accrual per anniversary year on the Manage Leave Types screen. If it is, the screen will display the employee's anniversary year dates and anniversary year accrual.

Leave Code

Enter, or click to select the code that will determine the employee's accrual computation rules and any limits on their balance, accrual, or used leave. The leave code must be set up on the Manage Leave Codes screen before it can be assigned here. This field is required.

Leave Hire Date

Enter, or click to select, the leave hire date associated with the leave code. If you leave this field blank, Costpoint uses the Current Hire date entered for this employee on the Manage Employee Information screen.

Accrual Rate

Field Description
Rate

This non-editable field displays the estimated accrual rate for this employee, using the accrual method for the current open leave period.

  • P calculates leave accrued by the accrual rate specified by the leave pay period. 
  • H calculates leave accrued by the number of regular hours in the period multiplied by the accrual rate.

See the description for the Compute Method column on the Manage leave codes screen for more information.

Estimated Accrual

This non-editable field displays the estimated accrual rate, including both block grants and the Rate (P or H), for this employee.

The estimated accrual will be 0.00 when:

  • The Compute Method is U-Unit of Hours Worked and the Estimated Hours are greater than 9,000.00 on the Manage Leave Periods screen.

  • The Compute Method is H-Hours Worked and the Estimated Hours are greater than 9,000.00 on the Manage Leave Periods screen.

Anniversary Year Accrual

If the leave type is configured to impose a limit on the anniversary year accrual, this section will show the anniversary dates for the employee/leave type combination and the total accrual from the anniversary start date to the open leave period. If the leave type is configured to impose a limit on the annual accrual during the leave year, the fields in this group box will not be populated.

Field Description
Start Date

This field displays the beginning of the employee's anniversary year. This field will only be populated if the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year on the Manage Leave Types screen. The date is determined by the leave type's configuration on the Manage Leave Types screen:

  • If the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is set to Limit accrual per leave year, the leave type accrual limitation is based on the leave year so this field will not be populated

  • If the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year and the Anniversary Year Timing is Ends in period containing anniversary date, the start date is the first day of the leave period following the one that included the employee's previous anniversary date.

  • If the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year and the Anniversary Year Timing is Starts in period containing anniversary date, the start date is the first day of the leave period that includes the employee's anniversary date.

If the leave type's annual accrual limit is based on the employee's anniversary year, this field updates when you enter the Employee and Leave Type for a new record. If you specify a Leave Hire Date, it will be used to calculate the employee's anniversary year dates instead of the employee's Current Hire Date. Since this value is not stored in the database, Costpoint will dynamically use the Employee, Leave Type, and Leave Hire Date values to determine the anniversary year start date when an existing record is queried.

End Date

This field displays the end of the employee's anniversary year. This field will only be populated if the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year on the Manage Leave Types screen. The date is determined by the leave type's configuration in Manage Leave Types:

  • If the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is set to Limit accrual per leave year on the Manage Leave Types screen, the leave type accrual limitation is based on the leave year so this field will not be populated.

  • If the Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year and the Anniversary Year Timing is Ends in period containing anniversary date on the Manage Leave Types screen, the end date is the last day of the leave period that includes the employee's anniversary date.

  • If the Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year and the Anniversary Year Timing is Starts in period containing anniversary date on the Manage Leave Types screen, the end date is the last day of the leave period before the one that includes the employee's next anniversary date.

If the leave type's annual accrual limit is based on the employee's anniversary year, this field updates when you enter the Employee and Leave Type for a new record. If you specify a Leave Hire Date, it will be used to calculate the employee's anniversary year dates instead of the employee's Current Hire Date. Since this value is not stored in the database, Costpoint will dynamically use the Employee, Leave Type, and Leave Hire Date values to determine the anniversary year end date when an existing record is queried.

Anniversary Year Accrued

This field displays the employee's total accrual between the specified anniversary year start and end dates.

If the leave type is tracked by hours, this will be the employee's total Accrued Hours from the View Leave History table where the Leave Period End Date is greater than or equal to the anniversary year start date and less than or equal to the anniversary year end date. Otherwise, if the leave type is tracked by amount, this will be the employee's total Accrued Amount from the View Leave History table where the Leave Period End Date is greater than or equal to the anniversary year start date and less than or equal to the anniversary year end date.

This field will only be populated if the leave type's Annual Accrual Limit Basis is Limit accrual per anniversary year on the Manage Leave Types screen. If the leave type's annual accrual limit is based on the employee's anniversary year, this field updates when you enter the Employee and Leave Type for a new record. If you specify a Leave Hire Date, it will be used to calculate the employee's anniversary year dates instead of the Current Hire Date. Since this value is not stored in the database, Costpoint will dynamically use the Employee, Leave Type, and Leave Hire Date values to determine the anniversary dates when an existing record is queried, and it will use those dates to determine the employee's total accrual for the year.
