Description
If absence items are keyed directly on a timesheet, a leave request is automatically generated when that timesheet is released for interpretation. When the timesheet is paid in a pay batch in the Payroll module, the leave request is flagged as Processed by Timesheet.
Previously, if leave had been processed by timesheet, the corresponding leave request could not be cancelled if the timesheet was for an agreement-based job order. Because of that, if the timesheet was adjusted, it was not possible to edit or delete the corresponding absence item on the timesheet.
Now, a leave request that has been processed by timesheet can be cancelled, by using the existing Cancel Leave action in Leave Request as highlighted in Figure 1 below, if the timesheet is for an agreement-based job. If the leave request is cancelled, on triggering an adjustment of the paid timesheet in the Time and Attendance module, the corresponding absence item is unlocked on the adjustment timesheet so that:
the item start or stop times can be adjusted if the duration of the paid leave was incorrect
the item date can be changed if the leave was keyed for the wrong date
the item type can be changed if the wrong type of leave was keyed and paid
the item can be deleted if it should not have been paid at all.
Benefits
This enhancement supports the ability to cancel paid leave requests in the event that leave has been paid in error or has been paid as the incorrect type of leave, irrespective of whether the leave corresponds to a standard rates or agreement based job order/timesheet and irrespective of whether the leave was processed by timesheet or by pay batch.
