!!!DEFINE LEAVE SCHEDULES
Leave Schedules provide the ability to administer [leave policies|LEAVE POLICIES] for different sets of employees. They may be defined and maintained through the Define Leave Schedules (IALS) form.

Users fill in the lowest level of eligibility. If it is a group that is qualified for a specific [time code|TIME_CODE]/[leave policy|LEAVE POLICIES] then only the group needs to be chosen; the application will complete entity and unit. For person code/name - entity, unit and group will not be completed and should be left blank.


Leave Schedules data is maintained on the [P2K_AT_LEAVE_SCHEDULES] table. 

;[Entity|ENTITY_CODE]:If the schedule is being defined at the entity level then the entity code must be specified. 
;[Unit|UNIT_CODE]:If the schedule is being defined at the unit level then the unit code must be specified. 
;[Group|GROUP_CODE]:If the schedule is being defined at the group level then the group code must be specified. 
;[Time Code|TIME_CODE]:This is a user-defined time code that uniquely identifies a type of time that this set of employees is eligible to take. 
;[Status|STATUS_CODE]:This field defines what employment status qualifies an employee to use this time code. This may be left blank. 
;[Accrual Rule|LEAVE_ACCRUAL_RULE]:This field allows users to establish an override for the accrual rule at the schedule level. (i.e. suppress entitlement for specific employee or suppress entire accrual process for employees on a leave employment status). 
;[Person|PERSON_CODE]:If the schedule is being defined for a specific employee then the employee must be chosen. 
;[Time Abbreviation|TIME_ABBREVIATION]:This field holds a user-defined description of the time code entered.

If a particular leave type affects more than one [policy|LEAVE POLICIES] the secondary [policy|LEAVE POLICIES] should be indicated here. (i.e. if sick time is to be taken as FMLA and as ‘Sick’, then the ‘FMLA Sick’ should be linked to the FMLA bank on the schedule and associated to the Sick policy.)
