Enter the leave code that you wish to use to further define the method or predetermined schedule for accruing leave. You can establish several leave codes for each leave type. The code is a six-character alphanumeric, user-defined field. Be sure to assign the leave code to the appropriate leave type, because the characteristics of the leave type also apply to the leave code (for example, leave period ceiling). This is a required field.

Enter a description to associate with the leave code in this field.

Enter, or click to select, the leave type that is assigned to this leave cycle. This field loads from the Manage Leave Types screen.

This disabled checkbox indicates whether or not the leave type is flagged as to Use to track excess leave on the Manage Leave Types screen. This means that excess leave is transferred into the specified leave type.

If an employee's balance exceeds the specified Year-End Balance Carryover Limit and the assigned leave type is set up to transfer any excess to another leave type, the excess will be transferred to a separate Excess Leave Type and Excess Leave Code. Use this field to specify the Excess Leave Code. Enter, or click the leave code for paying out excess leave balances.

If an Excess Leave Type is linked to the specified leave type on the Manage Leave Types screen, this field will display that Excess Leave Type.

If the employee's balance for this Leave Type exceeds the year-end limit, the excess will be transferred to the Excess Leave Type.

Select this checkbox to include negative balances in the leave year carryover. If this checkbox is not selected, the negative balances are brought to zero.

Select this checkbox if you prefer or need to present employee leave balances for this leave code in days, rather than hours. If you select this box, you will need to also specify the Hours in Leave Day as an employee's leave balance will be divided by this value to determine the leave balance days.

If you select this checkbox, leave will continue to be tracked by hours, but will be presented in days in the following:

If you select the Report leave to Employee in days checkbox, enter the number of hours in this field which will be considered as one leave day.

Enter, or click to select, the leave modifier code for leave accruals based on hours. The options in this field load from the Configure Leave Modify Codes application. The leave modifier rules apply the leave table when you execute the Compute Leave Accruals screen. The Leave Modifier code is only required for the Leave Table when the leave accrual is based on hours.

Select this checkbox to enable the Eligible Labor Locations subtask, which allows you to select specific Labor Locations to include in the leave basis.

You can only select the Base hours worked on eligible labor checkbox only if a row in the Leave Table Details window contains a compute method of Units of Hours Worked or Hours Worked.

Enter the number of days to defer the availability (usage) of leave by an employee in this four-digit numeric field. This deferral applies even though the employee is accruing credit for leave earned, based on the employee's leave-hire date or hire date.

For example, company policy may allow leave to accrue from an employee's hire date, but may require a 90-day waiting period from the hire date before an employee can begin to use the accrued leave.
