Work Instruction PA20 - Display Absence Quotas (Document) PA20

Purpose Use this procedure to check absence quota balances for an employee. Types of absence quotas include sick leave, annual leave, personal leave, compensatory time off, etc. Trigger Perform this procedure when you receive a message during time entry that the employee has insufficient leave to cover the entries made. You may also wish to use it prior to beginning time entry or when someone requests the information. Menu Path Use the following menu path to begin this transaction: Personnel Management Administration Select Human Resources Data PA20 - Display to go to the Display HR Master Data screen. HR Master

Transaction Code PA20 Helpful Hints Five types of absence quotas are tracked in the IRIS system: o o o o o annual leave sick leave personal leave compensatory time off sick leave bank

This document focuses on annual leave and sick leave to demonstrate the tracking of leave balances and accruals. If you have questions on absence quotas that are not specifically addressed by this document, please contact your campus payroll office. If you wish to check the same information on several employees in the PA20 transaction, use the Object Manager to generate a list of employees to work from (e.g., all employees belonging to a particular cost center). Then select the first employee in the list and navigate to the information that you want. After that, simply click on the next employee in the Object Manager list to display the same information for that employee.

See the document PA20 Display: Basic Object Manager for more information on using the object manager.

Five different transactions/reports can be used to view absence quota information. Which transaction/report you should choose depends on both the number of employees for whom you would like to view absence quotas and the type of absence quota balance that you would like to see.

(1) If you want to view the absence quota information for one employee at a time, the PA20 transaction can be useful. However, the absence quota information in PA20 includes the full leave accrual for the current month regardless of which day of the month you view the data. For example, if you view this data in early October to check absence quotas before entering a termination on an employee effective October 15, PA20 will show the entire amount of annual and sick leave that the employee would earn for working the entire month of October. When the termination is processed, the absence quota will be pro-rated to back out the unearned portion of the annual and sick leave (the portion accrued for October 15 through October 31). (2) Another transaction that is useful for viewing absence quotas on individual employees is PT50 Quota Overview. An advantage to using PT50 is that the selection screen is simple, making it quick and easy to pull up absence quotas for a single employee. Also, PT50 provides detailed information on the accruals. However, like PA20, this transaction reports the full leave accrual for the current month.

See the document PT50 Quota Overview for instructions on running a report on absence quota balances and displaying accrual information for a single employee. (3) If you want to view the absence quota information for one employee or for multiple employees, the S_AHR_61015599 Display Absence Quota report can be useful. Another nice feature in S_AHR_61015599 is that you may run it on criteria other than personnel number. For example, this report will allow you to specify a cost center to display absence quotas for all employees within a specific department. However, like the PA20 transaction, it reports the full leave accrual for the current month.

See the document S_AHR_61015599 Display Absence Quota for instructions on running a report on absence quota balances. (4) Another report that is useful for viewing absence quotas for one employee or multiple employees is ZQR_LEAVE_BALANCES. It can be run based on selection criteria other than personnel number, such as a cost center or restricted account. Like PA20, this transaction reports the full leave accrual for the current month. However, this report is different from the others in that balances are displayed in hours by distribution account. Additionally, this report displays longevity obligations in dollars from each account from which the employee is paid.

See the ZQR_LEAVE_BALANCES - Leave Balances By Distribution Acct document for instructions on running a report on absence quota balances. (5) If you want to obtain a more exact annual and sick leave balance as of a particular day, use the ZPR_QUOTA_REPORT transaction. This report provides pro-rated leave balances as of a particular day for individual employees not for multiple employees. This report is particularly helpful if you need to check balances for an

employee who is terminating employment with the university mid-month and will not receive the full month accrual.

Overview Absence Quotas

The absence quota information in PA20 includes the full leave accrual for the current month regardless of which day of the month you view the data. For example, if you view this data in early October to check absence quotas before entering a termination on an employee effective October 15, PA20 will show the entire amount of annual and sick leave that the employee would earn for working the entire month of October. When the termination is processed, the absence quota will be adjusted to back out the unearned portion of the annual and sick leave (the portion accrued for October 15 through October 31). Review the following fields: Column Label Start Date End Date Value Beginning value in a date range. Example: 01/01/2007 Ending value in a date range. Example: 12/31/2007
