Exempt Cities in a County
If there are any cities in the county that shouldn't get the sick leave accrual plan, those cities will be listed in a Supplier Property that has been deployed.
In the supplier property, the value column contains a comma separated list of all cities in that county to exclude from accruing.
Verify that the list of excluded cities is correct. For a list of some cities in Cook County, see the Cook County, IL Ordinance No. 16-4229 section of the Sick Leave Overview article.
- From the Start Page, navigate to the Actions drop-down menu.
- Select Admin Tools. The Admin Tool Main window displays.

- Verify that the list of cities is correct.
- If this list is incorrect, update the supplier property. For more information on this, see the Add a Supplier Property article.
Determine Accrual Plan Description
The accrual plans must match the formats outlined below exactly. If the accrual plan name does not match the format described, the accrual plan will not be applied to transactions.
The City and County sick leave plan descriptions must have the employee's day gap added to the end of the transaction type. A day gap is the number of days for a gap of employment.
The day gap number only needs to be tracked if the sick leave plan requires this. It is very important to update the Employee's accrual plan start date and yearly date if this is tracked.
State Sick Leave Format
State Sick Leave has the following format:
Format | Examples |
Sick Leave_(state abbreviation) |
Sick Leave_MN Sick Leave_CA |
City Sick Leave Format
Make sure that the city name on the order's address matches the city name for the accrual plan description. Spaces in the city name area allowed (i.e. San Diego, San Francisco, etc.) as long as it matches the spelling of the city name on the order. See the examples below for more detail.
Format | Examples |
Sick Leave_StateCode_City_MMDDYYYY (Date the plan is active)_NumberOfHoursToAccrueOneHour_DayGap (if applicable) |
Sick Leave_MN_Minneapolis_07012017_30 Sick Leave_MN_St Paul_07012017_30 |
County Sick Leave Format
Use this format to create a sick leave plan description for a county.
Setting up a county sick leave plan requires a geocode. If you know the geocode for the county, insert that number into the format below to create the new sick leave plan. Only the first five numbers in the geocode are required for the sick plan description.
If you do not know the county's geocode, follow the steps below to determine the number and input the first five digits into the sick plan description.
Format | Examples |
Sick Leave_FirstFiveOfGeoCode_MMDDYYYY (Date the plan is active) _NumberOfHoursToAccrueOneHour_DayGap (if applicable) |
Sick Leave_21031_07012017_40 Sick Leave_14031_07012017_40 |
Determine the Geocode
A geocode is a numeric mapping to a state, county or locality. Geocodes can be found in an employee or customer address. Only the first five numbers are needed to set up a county level sick leave plan.
A geocode has the following format:
Location | Geocode Digits |
State | First two digits |
County | Next three digits |
Locality/City | Last four digits |
ZIP Code Sick Leave Format
Use the following format to create a sick leave plan description for a ZIP Code. This situation primarily applies to New York City sick leave plans. New York City sick leave plans include the boroughs as well. Because the boroughs are city names themselves, the city sick leave descriptions will not match. These cities have hard coded ZIP codes for New York City and the boroughs.
Format | Example |
The accrual plan can have any name format as Avionté has hardcoded ZIP codes for the NYC boroughs. | SickLeave_BrooklynNY |
