Purpose

The purpose of this task is to process an employee's return from a Workers' Compensation leave. A return from a leave of absence changes an employee's status in the Payroll System.

Helpful Hints

• The Reason code used must agree with the type of Workers' Compensation leave the employee was placed on.
• The Work Percentage field must be verified when reinstating the employee.
• An employee's additional earnings are continued while on Workers' Compensation leave. The agency should verify that these additional earnings are still valid upon return.
• If the effective date of the reinstatement is retroactive to the current pay period, RGS in Time Entry may need to be submitted to pay the employee.
