What happens if there is not enough leave and an employee is out on sick leave beyond the time they have available? Will the HIP system automatically charge the employee LWOP? Does the Leave Keeper continue to be responsible to call in the LWOP to PERS, ERS and Payroll? Or is HIP integrated with department HR offices to cover that process?

The forecasting feature prevents employees from requesting leave they do not have/have not earned.  If the employee takes more leave than they have accrued, HIP will automatically modify their leave to LWOP.  Department HR will be able to review LWOP and update HIP (HRMS) as necessary.
