If you are retroactively adjusting date types that affect an employee’s leave accrual (Anniversary Date or Unbroken Service Date), this procedure may require a hand-off to the time and attendance processor, depending on the structure of your agency and your role at your agency. The time and attendance processor should refer to the Time Evaluation procedure to reevaluate the employee’s leave accruals.
