This strategy will not be viable for Clients who require that that Payees enter actual Start and End times for leave items. Where this is the case, the current process to apply leave items via the Attendance/Absence section of the timesheet will need to be used. Additional Item Leave may be an option where VMS data is imported onto Timesheets, where the VMS is the source of truth for Start and End times, and FastTrack360 is being utilized for the Pay / Bill process ie; the Quantity represents the number of hours of leave to be processed. The Pay Code’s Default Start Time is an arbitury value to provide the system with the ability to create the related Leave Request by using the Default Start Time + Qty to determine an arbitury End Time.
The Absence Type assigned to the Pay Code will dictate the Leave Type that is applied (Leave Maintenance > Leave Type - an Absence Type is linked to a Leave Type). As such the Leave Type needs to be configured to support the conditions required. If, for example, you require that the supplied imported rate, or rate on the job is used for leave, then the Deduction Rule must have a Rate Type of ‘Agreement Rate'. If you require that the Average Rate is used, then the Deduction Rule must have a Rate Type of ‘Average Rate’. If there are cases where the Payee may be subject to both conditions, a Leave Type can have more than one Leave Set with different Deduction Rules, however you must be able to determine what that point of difference is in the hierarchy filter for the rule, so that the Accrual Rule is not duplicated. For example if the point of difference is that Timesheets for some Clients need to use the rate supplied, then a Leave Set(s) can be created with a Hierarchy Value for the Client - in this case the Deduction Rule would be for Rate Type of ‘Agreement Rate’. If Timesheets for another Client requires Average Rate, then a second leave set is created with a Hierarchy Value for the other Client, the Deduction Rule in this case would be for Rate Type of ‘Average Rate’.
Steps for configuration of Leave Types is not available on Online Help due to the high level of configurability within the feature and the complexities with some leave rule requirements. If you need assistance with configuring Leave Types, please contact the Customer Service Centre or if you are in project, Professional Services.

For UK clients, if you need to create leave for SSP (Statutory Sick Pay), this process is only accommodated via the Leave Request module so the period of leave can be established to trigger the SSP logic in the pay process. If this type of leave is required to be created where there are timesheets that have already been Submitted, you can reject the timesheet and then create the Leave Request OR if the timesheets have been Approved and can no longer be reversed from the Interpreter, you can create Adjustment Timesheets for the weeks that the leave has impacted, save the Adjustment Timesheet and then create the Leave Request.

These changes provide the ability for Leave to be applied to the Additional Items section of the Timesheet which will support the payment and accrual of leave which may be required, for example, for a Standard Rate timesheet.
