Leave-Payroll Link
The Leave-Payroll Links allows you to define the payment rules (full pay, first, second and third factor) at which employees in a pay group are paid for specific leave types.
A leave taken transaction must then be entered for the employee. The employee’s Pay Rate (Payroll>>Employees>>Pay Profile) is then used to calculate the amount and cycle changes will be automatically generated in the relevant pay cycle, when the employee’s leave record is posted.
How it works:
- Set up an earning for the leave for which you wish to pay via Payroll >>Maintenance>>Payroll Setup>>Earnings. ( The user must have access to the Payroll Module to setup earning codes.) Click on the link to access the guide How to create an Earning Type?
- Using the code defined for the earning, set up an HR Payroll link via Personnel >> Transactions >> Transactions-Payroll Linkages.
- Define the Payment Rules for the leave type.
- Enter and post leave taken records for relevant employees.
- To effect the payment rule, perform a recalculation to the present date (Leave Transactions>>Recalculate Leave Balances). The Recalculate Until date field should be blank.
- Go to Cycle Changes, find the relevant pay cycle and view the relevant cycle changes.
- Process the cycle changes as you normally would.
To undo the Payment Rule:
- Delete the payment rule.
- Perform a recalculation. (Leave Transactions>>Recalculate Leave Balances). The Recalculate Until date field should be blank.
