How are Leave balances calculated?

Sick, Vacation or Personal Leave balances on payment stubs, come from Leave Balance screen. The Usage would come from Attendance screen, if not deferred and an absence is entered, the leave balance is updated at that time. If an employee's absence is from a prior payroll processing period and is processed on a later payroll (absence entered in Attendance), that absence will appear on their pay stub for the payroll they are processing as the entry will be pay stamped for that pay currently being processed.

For Example, when processing payroll for 8/15/22, a Sick day absence from 6/27/22 was just posted to Attendance. When the payroll was posted, the record pay stamp date reflects 8/15/22 and the employee's check stub reflects the 1 day of sick leave usage.

How are service days calculated?

The DD notice is using the FY Dates which would be the first payroll of the FY year (starting date) to the last Pay Date (End date).

Email Notices

The form used to generate the direct deposit notices are fully customizable, whether they are generated for printing or emailing.  The "Direct Deposit Form" option on the Email Direct Deposit Notices window allows you to choose the SSDT-provided form or your own custom form.  The district could setup one or more custom formats, one of which that excludes the sensitive information, and they would only need to select the alternate form.
