If an employee transfers to another department that is also participating in HIP Time & Leave, what happens to their leave balances?

If both departments involved in an employee transfer are participating in Time & Leave, the balance is automatically transferred without the HR Admin having to do a balance adjustment, but there will still be a fiscal process involved in writing/receiving a check for the value of their accrued leave.

However, if the employee transfers to a department that does not participate in Time & Leave, a manual adjustment will need to be processed on HIP to zero out the former employee’s leave balances. The receiving department will need to be notified of the employee’s leave balances to be processed into their system. 

If the employee is transferring from a department that is not participating in Time & Leave to a department that is participating in Time and Leave, the departing HR office should notify you of the employee’s leave balances as of the transfer date so that you can process a leave balance adjustment to add hours on HIP to the employee’s leave balances.
