Leave Policy Rate (LPRT)

The Leave Policy Rate (LPRT) page allows you to define the guaranteed minimum leave accrual, the minimum number of hours required for accrual, the standard number of hours required and the standard accrual rate for each leave type. The guaranteed minimum accrual and the standard accrual rate are expressed in the basis for the leave type and the minimum and standard required hours are always expressed in hours. Prorated accruals are based on the ratio of included hours to standard hours multiplied by standard accrual rate.

The Leave Policy Rate reference page allows leave rates to be defined at different organizational levels including Home Department, Home Unit and Union Local.

Data from LPRT can be downloaded into spreadsheet format by clicking the Download action from the Grid Actions menu. Once downloaded, the data can be updated and uploaded back to LPRT by selecting Upload from the Grid Actions menu.  The Download action is available when there is at least one record returned as a result of a browse or search action.  When the Download action is selected, all data that was returned as a result of the previous browse or search is selected for download.  Once the download is complete the data can be manipulated using the preferred spreadsheet application and can then be uploaded back to LPRT, based on the user’s security setup. If the user can add records to the reference table online they are able to upload records to the table.  If additional security is desired, the System Maintenance Utility job that is triggered by the Upload action can be configured with Job Security to restrict the Upload action.

If you plan to use the Download action, data in the fields on this page should not contain any special characters, including return characters. When opening the downloaded file, if special characters are present in the reference page record, that particular record might be, for example, split into two records in the downloaded file, and the extra records would have to be manually deleted/modified.
