FMLA Handling

When entering FMLA time off, consider the following: Absences.

  • Does the Employee have any paid time off they are eligible to take?
    • YES: Do they have enough days off to cover the entirety of the absence?
      • YES: Enter Time Off twice for the Employee for the same date range – once with the Type Paid Time Off and once with the Type FMLA.
      • NO: Enter Time Off twice for the Employee for the number of paid days they have accrued – once with the Type Paid Time Off and once with the Type FMLA. Then enter a Leave of Absence for the remaining time off.
    • NO: Enter the absence as a FMLA Leave of Absence by using the process Place Worker on Leave.
  • Should leave start the day after paid time off ends?
    • If an Employee is using paid time off and then an unpaid Leave of Absence, then the FMLA Leave of Absence should start the day after the paid time off ends. Workday will handle the weekends.
    • If the last day of paid time off is partial, then the Employee should use the Unpaid Time Off to finish out the day.
  • If you want to view Time Off and Leaves of Absence on the same page, open the Manage Absence Calendar view.
