This process is available for weekly paid employees only.

For weekly paid employees, Personality provides the ability to generate a ‘Future Pay’ category pay for vacation time entered as a Leave Line ([IAAL]).

This process respects and does not interfere with the time scheduling module. When an employee is put on vacation for three weeks, [UPCVAC] will pick up and pay the employee three weeks vacation. The schedule exceptions on [ITTE] for the coming weeks will still reflect that the employee is away from post even though the leave has been processed by payroll. When time scheduling is used to populate the payroll with time, the employees who have already been paid in advance do not get paid again by the scheduling system.

!!!VACATION PAY SET UP
!!Pay Components and Time Codes
The vacation ‘Time’ pay component must have an associated Vacation ‘Earnings’ pay component and a time code on [IPPC].

The vacation ‘Earnings’ pay component must be set up with a ‘Calculation Method’ of ‘Entered Value’. This is needed so that computed ‘Vacation Earnings’ on generated pay lines are properly ‘Generated’ into the attached pay line details.

!!Leave Lines
Time to be taken is entered in the Leave Lines ([IAAL]) for all future attendance time. 

Vacation pay is generated for Leave Lines ([IAAL]) that span an entire weekly pay period. If the leave line does not begin or end on a week boundary, then the line will not be picked up. There can be NO gaps in time between leave lines. The first gap of any size will terminate vacation generation for the employee.
