When an employee returns from a leave of absence without pay, the employee returns to a position in the same class as the position which the employee held at the time the leave was granted, or in another class in the same pay grade for which the employee meets the requirements. (K.A.R. 1-9-6(h))

If the employee terminates, return the employee from leave of absence before entering the termination. The effective date of the return must be at least one day before the date of termination if the terminating employee is to be paid out for leave balances. If not, you may use the same date for the return from leave and termination by using effective sequencing.

Since SHARP continues to calculate the length of service when an employee is on a leave of absence, you must adjust the length of service if the leave was for more than 30 days. Adjust the length of service by deducting the years and/or days of service between the last day before the employee went on leave and the return from leave date on the Kansas Employment page. If preferred, you can adjust the length of service on the Employment Information page by clicking on the Override checkbox and changing the Benefits Service Date.

To return an employee from a leave of absence, add a Return from Leave/Return from Leave row in Job Data. Please see the How Do I’s for details.
