Process Considerations:

• This report is updated with each absence calculation. It uses balances displayed in Results by Calendar.  Using the most recent pay period end date or the currently open calendar will give the most up to date balance.
• Keep in mind Sick leave balances will have expected earnings for the month/pay period.  Expected earnings cannot be used until the next month.  We are displaying the SL Balance not the SLERN (available to use balance).
• When the 08M calendar is open but not confirmed or the 08B calendar is open and not confirmed.  If you ask for the balances as of the 8M or 8B, it will show you the balance with the expectation they will work the whole period.  This could change because it is not confirmed.  If takes are entered or hours are not worked, this
• If you want to see what the balances were on 06M request balances for that time frame.  It will show the most up to date data, for that time, including any changes that took place between then and now.
• Brand new employee is hired on September 1st. Balances are requested for the 09M. You will see 8 hours of SL for a balance but they can’t be taken until October.
