The system automatically assigns Leave Times to users at the specified dates. The Leave Times are work types that keep track of special tasks, such as vacation, sick leave, maternity leave and parental leave. By setting maximum and minimum limits, the usage and accrual of the Leave Time Task can be defined; for example, eight hours of vacation can be assigned to a user per month. Automatic accruals can also be set for each Leave Time task to add to a user's available time.
The Leave Time processing rules are independent of timesheet periods and are processed from the Leave Time Rule Setup page that can be accessed as follows:
- Globally (all users): Setup > Timesheet > Leave Time > Leave Time Edit > Leave Time Rule Setup
- Globally through Automation: Setup > Organization > System > Automation Processing Options
- Individually for a Site: Setup > Organization > Sites > Site Edit > Leave Time > Leave Time Rule Setup
- Individually for a Resource Type: Setup > Organization > Resource Types > Resource Type Edit > Leave Time > Leave Time Rule Setup
- Individually for a Group: Setup > Organization > Groups > Group Edit > Leave Time > Leave Time Rule Setup
- Individually for a User: Setup > Organization > Users > User Edit > Leave Time > Leave Time Rule Setup
When Leave Time is processed, the active rule with the highest precedence is applied. The Leave Time precedence order is (highest to lowest):
- User
- Functional Group
- Resource Type
- Master Site
- Global
