Attendance Rollover
Use this option to reset leave banks for selected employees and roll over the past year's leave data, as determined by parameters set in the Leave table. You can also delete attendance data and reset leave banks that have negative balances.
The Attendance Rollover option generates the Leave Rollover report, which lists leave codes, prior balances, and new balances for employees. You can select employees by job class and pay group. For information on processing multiple job classes and pay groups, refer below to the Procedure section.
Menu Path: Human Resources > Periodic Routines > Year End > Attendance Rollover
Prerequisite
Before running the Attendance Rollover option, generate and verify all reports needed for your year-end records.
Resetting and Rolling Over Leave Balances
The Attendance Rollover option must be run separately for each accrual type used in employees' records. The accrual types include:
A - Anniversary
F - Fiscal
M - Monthly
B - Pay Period Amount
P - Pay Period Rate
Rollover Criteria
The Attendance Rollover option uses the following criteria to either reset or roll over leave bank balances:
- If a leave bank's balance is less than zero and you select the Attendance Year Rollover page's Reset Leave Bank field, the Earned, Taken, and Balance fields of an employee's Leave Bank Data tab are reset to zero.
- If the Balance field on the Leave Bank Data tab is less than the Roll Limit on the Leave table, the leave bank's Earned and Taken fields are reset to zero, but the Balance field remains the same.
- If the Balance field on the Leave Bank record is greater than the Roll Limit on the Leave table, the leave bank's Earned and Taken fields are reset to zero, and the Balance is set to the table's Rollover Limit. Any leftover units are rolled to the leave bank identified in the table's Rollover Code field.
This option does not accrue leave. It clears the Balance, Taken YTD, and Earned YTD fields in the Employee Information page's Leave Bank tab and then rolls over leave as determined by the Leave table. For information on accruing leave at the end of the year, refer to Fiscal Leave Accrual.
Conditions for A - Anniversary Accrual Type
If you enter A - Anniversary as the accrual type, you must complete the Attendance Rollover page's Period End Date field.
- The software compares the employee's Last Paid date (Payroll tab), Leave Anniversary Date (Leave tab), and Attendance Rollover's Period End Date.
For the attendance rollover to occur, the Leave Anniversary Date must be greater than or equal to the Last Paid date but less than or equal to the Period End Date.

Leave the field blank to roll over leave for all job classes or by the classes associated with the pay groups identified in the Pay Group field. To select multiple job classes, insert the pipe symbol between codes, for example, 1020|3450|4170.
Pay Group Enter pay group codes separated by the pipe symbol, for example, W|B|M or 1|2|3. Leave the field blank to roll over leave for all groups associated with the job classes selected.
