Generates a detailed listing of employee leave application details for a given:
- pay run posting
- date range
- leave type
- Community ID.
When a pay run posting or date range is entered, leave applications that start before or end after the pay run or entered dates have one or both of the Start Date and Return Date fields displayed in red.
Payroll admins can use this report to view leave transaction details for one or more pay runs. Using this information, they can update the payroll employee leave transactions on the Leave tab of Payroll Maintenance. See Payroll Maintenance - Leave tab.
Important: Confidential leave applications are not listed in this Crystal Report. When a confidential leave application is approved, the confidential leave approver (defined using the Job Position for Confidential Leave Approvals field on the Synergetic Financial Configuration - Payroll tab) should manually update the leave transaction on the Leave tab of Payroll Maintenance. See Payroll Maintenance - Leave tab.

| New functionality to alert you to potential leave anomalies on the Detail tab. | Synergetic may encounter potential anomalies when leave transactions are processed. If anomalies are detected for a current pay, the Leave Requires Attention area is displayed above the grid area on the Detail tab of Current Pay Maintenance. The Payroll Officer must check the Reason field to determine the reason(s), manually update the pay to resolve the potential leave anomaly, and then click the Accept button to acknowledge that leave has been correctly entered. Tip: You can select the Only Employees where leave needs attention field in the Current Pay Selector to only display current pays with potential anomalies. This field is only displayed if potential anomalies exist.

The projection is calculated based on an average across several pays. The number of pays used to calculate the average can be configured using the Leave by Hours Worked Project Average Pay Count on the Page 1 sub-tab of the General tab of the Payroll Configuration window. See Payroll Configuration - General tab - Page 1 sub-tab. | |
