About Leave Request Validation in Employee Self-Service

Four configuration values determine how leave is entered and validated. These values are determined in Payroll Configuration on the General tab.

• Employee Self-Service — Allow Duplicate Leave Dates: Specifies whether or not an error is caused when the leave date has already been assigned to a different leave type. The default value is Yes.

• Employee Self-Service — Allow Multiple Leave Days: Determines whether or not the amount taken can be greater than 24 hours or 1 day for the selected leave type.

• Employee Self-Service — Allow Negative Leave Balance: Specifies whether or not the balance is allowed to go negative for the selected leave type. The default value is No.

• Employee Self-Service — Enforce Calendar Work Days: Determines whether or not the work days set up in the HR calendar are used to validate employee leave requests. The default value is Yes. When Yes, the leave request will fail if the requested date exists in the calendar AND the date is designated as a non-work day.

The system does not validate future dates. An employee can enter a date beyond the current year, and the system will accept it as long as all other validations succeed. It is up to the approver to catch such an error.
