This functionality allows Supervisors to add to People Planner leaves and/or work assignments not submitted through the Absence module, to provide a complete overview of departmental staffing activities. Examples may include Gradual Returns to Work (GRTW), backfill assignments/vacation coverage, etc).
For the example below, the supervisor is creating an assignment to record an employee medical leave.
- Right click on the applicable box and choose, "New assignment":

- Identify Start and End Dates
- Project: This is a required field, but currently has no GL implications

- Click "OK" at the bottom of the screen, and then you will see this summary page. The system will auto-populate the schedule for these dates based on the employee's work schedule (i.e. 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM).
