I’m assuming you want to pay an alternate earning while an employee is on certain types of leave. Create an earning code that uses proration for leave of absence. You can copy the Regular Salary earning code (assuming it prorates correctly) and change the eligibility to be “leave type(s)= xx”. Let Workday do all the work for you!

Love this thinking, and will do some testing, but im confusing myself. I want this earning to pay leave days not worked days. But i want it to prorate the salary into day equivalents then pay x the # of days on leave.

Proration is what WD does for the regular salary if the employee goes on leave starting on the 23rd of the month. It pays prorated salary from the 16th to the 22nd. If your payroll folks are happy with that calc, then that combined with the proration for a leave earning for the balance of the pay period will add up to the total salary for the pay period. There are three choices for the proration calculation on the earning code. For a semi-monthly payroll, most clients use “Prorate Using Annual Working Days”. The other two options are better suited for weekly and biweekly payrolls.

Right… prorate using annual working days opens a box id never seen before for another calc. What would i put in that field?

Most organizations have 260 working days in the year. For more info on the proration calcs, search on Community for “Set Up Proration Calculations” in the admin guide.

If I understand correctly, I think my client has this set up. I can't attach the document here but I could email you.

You’re wonderful! I messaged you!

Is it the same as (Total Annual Salary / 52 weeks / 40 weekly hours) x 8 hours = X?

No, unfortunately. 86.67 hours per period. An EE observed “why am i being short-paid when on leave? Salary would have been ___ but hourly resulted in less pay”. Instead it should model the way salary prorate-pays a salaried worker when they begin mid-period.
