Human Resources > Tables > Leave > Leave Type Description

This tab is used to create or change leave type codes and descriptions (long and short). These codes are then used to document and track employee leave or absence. Users cannot delete a leave type that is being used by the Leave Type table.

Create a leave type description:

Field	Description
Start Leave Type	Type a leave type code to narrow the number of leave type codes that are displayed on the tab.

Click +Add to add a row.

Leave Type	Type a two-digit state or district-assigned leave code.
Description Short	Type the short name that best describes the leave code. The short description can be a maximum of ten characters and is printed on the check stub and the earnings records.
Description Long	Type the long name that best describes the leave code. The long description can be a maximum of 20 characters and is printed on reports.
Status	Click to select a status (A - Active or I - Inactive) for the selected leave type.
Use For Dock TRS Days	Select to include the leave type in the extract when calculating the number of days worked.

Post Against Zero Balance	Select to allow employees to post leave against zero balance leave types when creating a leave request in Employee Access.
Absence Reason	Click to open the Absence Reasons To Leave Type pop-up window. A list of available (active and inactive) absence reason codes is displayed. Select the absence reason codes that you want to assign to the selected leave type. Click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel. A paperclip is displayed on the Absence Reason button to indicate that the leave type has associated absence reason codes. Notes: An inactive absence reason code can be selected; however, it cannot be selected on leave transmittals or leave requests submitted in EmployeePortal. If an absence reason code is tied to an existing (processed or unprocessed) leave or substitute leave transmittal, the field is selected and disabled, and cannot be cleared.
