Leave Reports in Enterprise Reporting

In the month of August, substantial changes were made to improve the performance and the effectiveness of the following leave reports in Enterprise Reporting:

  • Leave Accruals, Usage and Balances By Pay Period, Department
  • Leave Accruals, Usage and Balances By Pay Period, Department – Comp only
  • Leave Accruals, Usage and Balances By PPE and Dept Listing
  • Leave Accruals, Usage and Balances By PPE, EmpID

The implemented upgrades drastically reduce the time it takes to create a leave report as stated above and allow leave information to be generated for multiple departments on one report, where this was not possible prior to these improvements. Additionally, these reports are easier to read since they only display an employee’s beginning balance, hours earned, hours used, hours adjusted, and ending balance for a pay period, contrary to the previous “year to date” format.

The navigation to these reports is Enterprise Reporting > Accessing Reporting > Human Resources Information > Benefit Information > Leave. If you are not able to access these reports, please consult with your departmental security administrator for the UF_ER_HRPR_Ben_Leave and UF_ER_UER roles.

Time and Labor Data in myUFL

Since the implementation of ePAF, the Time and Labor Data page (under Workforce Administration) was temporarily inaccessible. This changed on August 18, 2006. Those who have the appropriate security role, including the departmental payroll processors, should be able to view employees’ time and labor information once again. If a change needs to be made, a request must be submitted through ePAF.

The navigation is Workforce Administration > Job Data > Employment Data > Time Reporter Data.

This page allows departments to review an employee’s time and labor information such as how an employee is compensated for overtime; how the employee is set up for reporting time; and if the employee is still in the "dynamic group". 

If you have any questions, please contact Central Leave Administration at 392-5732 or email central-leave@ufl.edu.
