1. Return Date Calculation by Pay Type

A new feature, Return Date Calculation By Pay Type, was added.  This feature allows for different leave return dates calculation methods to be set for salaried and non-salaried employees for any given leave type.  

If, however, an employee is changing from salaried to non-salaried, or vice-versa, then the Return Date Parameters (Benefits>>Leave>>Leave Setup>>Return Date Parameters) should be used to define the return date calculation method for the specific employee and any other employee exceptions.

Step 1 - Enable Feature

System Configurations>> Feature Management>> Return Date Calculation by Pay Type

Step 2 - Setup Leave Type

Set up the leave type (or edit an existing leave type).  Define the return date parameters by completing the following fields:

  1. Calculate Return Date Using (Salaried employees).
  2. Calculate Return Date Using (Non-Salaried).

The system will check to determine:

  1. If the employee is salaried or non-salaried via Personnel>>Employees>>[Search for Employee]>>Payroll Related.
  2. The values in the above-named fields to accurately calculate the return date for the specific leave type.

Personnel>> Employees>> [Search for Employee]>> Payroll Related

Benefits>> Leave>> Leave Setup>> Leave Types>> Leave Types
