Audit Instructions

1. The effective date is the close of business on the calendar day (or part of day) preceding the effective date of the leave of absence.

2. The position number is not usually changed while the employee is on a leave without pay. However, the agency, reporting unit and serial number may be changed, based upon campus need. The class code cannot be changed unless:

   1. prompted by reorganization changes where the class code is no longer appropriate, or

   2. the employee was officially notified of actions in progress (e.g. promotion, demotion) prior to the effective date of the LWOP. If a change is needed, process an Transaction A58 to return the employee from leave, then process a Transaction 120 to change the position number, followed by a Transaction S45 (BOB) with the same effective date as the Transaction 120.

3. An employee must be reinstated before being placed on any other type of leave.

4. If an employee separates while on an S45 leave, process the appropriate separation transaction. A reinstatement is not required unless the separation is a S70/S71, then the employee must be reinstated before the separation. However, if the employee is entitled to lump sum vacation or extra hours and was on an Transaction S45 leave before the effective date of a General Salary Increase, the employee must be reinstated. Process an Transaction A58 (COB) effective the same date as the separation date and in Item 215 enter ’L/S INCREASE ONLY’, followed by the appropriate separation transaction.
