Report Information
Absence Activity Provides a listing of all Absence Management activity for employees. It will include the employee's Absence balance, Absences taken, Absence balances adjusted, and Absences accrued. The report can be used to gather a comprehensive listing of an employee's Absence activity.
Absence Adjustment Used to review and validate adjustments entered via Adjust Absences page. The report will display all adjustments processed or unprocessed by Absence Management.
Excess Plus/Minus - Negative Identifies employees who have negative Excess Plus/Minus balances reported in the identified period or who have existing "negative" Excess Plus/Minus balances.
Excess Plus/Minus - Positive Identifies employees who have positive Excess Plus/Minus balances reported in the identified period or who have existing "positive" Excess Plus/Minus balances.
Reported Absence Not Processed Identifies absences/earns that have not been processed. The absence has been entered via self-service, absence event, adjust absences or CSU ADO and have not been processed by Absence Calculation Process (GPPDRUN).
Reported Absences Identifies employees with "reported" absences for a given Absence period.
Reported Absences Not Approved Provides a listing of absences that have not been approved for employees, or time that "Needs Correction" or is in a "Reviewed" status. It is used to review unapproved or pending Absences so that approvals can be entered before running the Absence Management calculation for the Absence period.
Alternate Work Schedule Provides a listing of employees who are on alternate or predefined work schedules. The report will also be used to review the most recent schedule information and schedule changes for employees. Additionally, this report will add any changes that occurred during that period (e.g. different rows for different schedules (changes) within the period).
Audit Comments Provides a listing of all comments for employees entered during the selected period (via Absence Event, Self Service, or Adjust Absences). It will allow Payroll to audit the comments entered to ensure they comply with CSU policy.
Delegation Identifies employees who are alternate or a proxy approver for another employee. An Alternate (Approver) is authorized as a long-term alternate (back-up) and a Proxy (Approver) is an employee (typically an MPP) authorized as a short-term alternate (back-up).
Expiring ADO & Holiday Credit Provides a listing of all employees who have Expiring Alternate Day Off (ADO) or Expiring Holiday Credit Balances. It will be used to determine if employees have ADO or Holiday Credit Balances that need to be taken or paid. The report displays ADO and HC expiring based on the Absence period ID entered – to see ADO and HC that haven't expired yet expand your period ID to include one in the future.
Negative Balance Identifies employees who have a negative absence balance. An employee's balances may go negative during the period as a result of takes or negative adjustment (reducing their balance) and may or not, still be negative at the end of the period, depending on entitlements. The report will be used to validate time that has been taken or reported that needs to be corrected.
Terminated EE With Balances Provides a listing of employees with a status of "terminated" who have payable Absence Management balances. It will be used to validate that employees have been paid for all payable balances and to determine if balances need to be adjusted and/or paid off. The payable balances include Vacation, CTO, Holiday CTO, Holiday Credit, Excess Plus/Minus and Personal Holiday.
