Contents of the Create Leave Payout Timesheets Screen
Use the fields and options to configure the Create Leave Payout Timesheets screen.
Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Parameter ID |
Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY. When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query. You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults. |

Include Employees with Termination Dates |
Select this check box if an employee with a termination date on the Manage Employee Information screen should still receive payment for excess leave types. Their termination date should be after the date specified in the Include termination dates greater than field. If this check box is not selected, any employee with a termination date on Manage Employee Information screen will be excluded from processing. If you select this check box, the date basis must be specified. For example, the following employees exist on your Manage Employee Information table:
If you specify a date of 10/15/2020, employees EMPL2 and EMPL3 will be included in the processing since their termination dates are after the specified date basis. Employees EMPL1 and EMPL4 will not be included in the processing because their termination dates are before or the same as the date basis. This check box will only be enabled if the Leave Payout for Excess Leave Types check box is selected. |

Include termination dates greater than |
Enter, or click to select, a date. Employees with termination dates that fall after this date and who meet the other selection criteria will be considered for processing. Those with termination dates that are before or are the same as this date will automatically be excluded from processing. For example, today's date is 10/15/2020 and an employee with an excess leave type balance has a future termination date of 12/31/2020 entered on the Manage Employee Information screen. If you enter a termination date basis of 10/15/2020, the employee would be included in the processing because the termination date is after the threshold date of 10/15/2020. This data field will only be visible and editable if the Include Employees with Termination Dates check box is selected. |
