The calculation of Return Date Parameters (as defined within the Leave Type setup How to set up leave types) can be further fleshed out using this screen.
Your company’s Leave Rules regarding employees in a particular Job, Pay Group or Shift Status may be different from others and, as such, can be defined here so that the application can work out the correct Return Dates of an employee who has gone on Leave.
We will now look at the method to be used by the system to calculate the return date for:
1. Shift Workers – the value in the Shift Worker field is Yes (Personnel>>Employees>>Employees HR View) Employees
2. Non-shift Workers - the value in the Shift Worker field is No (Personnel>>Employees>>Employees HR View) Employees
If this option is not used, then the return date is calculated using the value in the Calculate Return Date Using field in Leave Types (Leave Setup>>Leave Types). How to set up leave types
The rule can be tied to a pay group so that shift and non-shift workers in different pay groups can have their return dates calculated differently.
This option is used in conjunction with Employee Off Days (Leave Overrides>>Employee Off Days). How to set up Leave Overrides for Employees On and Off days
