The ALT transaction can be used to pay a person when they take leave that was previously credited to them for working on a Public Holiday. (See ALT-CR - Alternative Holiday Credit leave for crediting alternative holidays in the first place).

To enter ALT leave:-

1. Go to the person's timesheet
2. Enter the number of hours to Pay in the Quantity field
3. Select ALT from the list, and press the Add button.
4. Enter the date that the leave was taken.
5. Press the Save Changes button.

The person's Alternative Holiday Leave balance will be decreased to reflect this leave taken. Their Leave History will also be updated.

Reducing Ordinary Time Worked

If a person has a standard timesheet containing their ordinary time, it can be tedious to reduce their time whenever leave is entered. To avoid this, select () the Reduce Ordinary Time (T1)? option when entering the leave details, and the person's Ordinary Time will be automatically reduced by the amount of leave taken.

Notes

• This option is selected by default for people with ordinary time on their Standard Timesheet. If you enter the actual hours worked each pay you probably won't use this option, and it won't be automatically selected. You can always select or de-select this option as needed.
