- The report will provide the beginning balance for each leave type at the time of the begin date entered and the ending balance at the time of the end date entered (DATE APPLIED). It will list any leave transactions that occurred between the begin and end date that account for the change in balance from begin to end date. This is based upon the DATE APPLIED value of the transaction, which can be different than the activity date of an absence or accumulation. If the DATE APPLIED on the leave transaction is between the begin and end date used for the report, the transaction will be listed on the report.

Helpful tips
The leave transactions on the report are sorted by applied date (Timestamp Date) first and then activity date. If multiple leave transactions have the same applied date, they would be sorted by activity date for that applied date. The reasoning for this sort order is because the order in which the district entered them (or they were applied by deferred absence posting) we are showing them in the order in which they affected the balance.
The report uses the applied date for the beginning and end date filters. We filter in this way because that is the date the balance is actually affected by an absence or accumulation. If a district is a non-deferred absence district that enters a sick day today with an activity date of next week, the employees balance is updated today and therefore must be reflected on the report if ran for today. If the report included leave transactions based on the activity date, this employee would show a change in their sick leave balance of 1 day, but no usage transaction would show on the report unless the date range also included the activity date. To always show the leave transactions that account for the change in balance from the beginning balance to the end we have to use the date the absence/accumulation was applied to the balance.
The Leave Activity Date is the date the Leave was entered.
- This is the date when the value was applied to the balance, if applicable, for Absences. Example, The Activity Date of 07/20/2023 was entered on 07/17/2023. If running the Leave Activity Report, for the dates of 07/01/2023 - 07/17/2023, the Activity Date of 07/20/2023 will show on the report, since this date was entered on 07/17/2023 Date Applied:
