Leave Priority Workflow Example:
First Level: Time In Lieu Taken Second Level: Annual Leave Taken Third Level: Leave Without Pay (LWOP) Taken
Scenario 1
Request: 1 day of Time In Lieu
Balances: Time In Lieu (0.25 days), Annual Leave (0.25 days), LWOP (unlimited days).
The system deducts 0.25 days of Time In Lieu.
Next, it deducts 0.25 days of Annual Leave.
Finally, 0.5 days of LWOP is applied to complete the request.
Scenario 2
Request: 1 day of Annual Leave.
Outcome: The leave priority settings do not apply.
This request does not match the first-level leave type (Time In Lieu).
A new leave priority (Annual Leave > Leave Without Pay) needs to be created to support this workflow.

Enable Leave Priorities in Timesheets
Payroll Administrators have the ability to enable Leave Priorities for use in Timesheets.
This setting can be found in the Pay Group tab > Timesheets, as shown below.
PS: You can create Leave Priorities as required, however be careful not to have conflicting priorities set up. As a general guide, Take leave types can be in multiple Leave Priorities, however Leave Types that hold a balance should only be in one.
