Code or verify coding of a timesheet in NEATS based on information provided by your agency's group responsible for FMLA administration (e.g., human resources).

Technical (step-by-step) guide: See the NEATS Timekeeping Module procedure (01.30.10) and NEATS tutorials.

When determining whether to APPROVE or REJECT a leave request or a leave entry on a timesheet consider the following factors:

• Does the employee have sufficient accrued leave of the type being requested?
• Is the reason stated for the leave an authorized use of that type of leave (in statute, regulation or policy)?
• Do the notes (yellow sticky note image link on the timesheet) agree with the hours requested and information entered in the Additional Description: field?
• Will you be violating any regulations or policies by approving or rejecting the leave?

 See your agency's policies, procedures or regulations for any agency specific processes (e.g., required hard copy form).  See the NEATS Handbook for applicable payroll code(s).

NAC 284.5811 states that the leave of an employee who is eligible and has a qualifying FMLA leave event due to a workers' compensation injury or illness "will be designated as leave pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act".
