With the impending implementation of ESTA, we will need to track leave accruals for ALL staff, including temporary staff. Regular staff receive a benefit in excess of that required by the ESTA and we "pre-load" those balances at the start of the school/fiscal year. Unfortunately, we will have to also track leave accruals for temporary staff and I don't see us providing more than is legally required. Optimally, there would be an "automatic" accrual that would add the earned sick leave each pay period to the available balance (and adjust for time used). Alternatively, a report that would count qualifying hours (i.e. actually worked hours, not just paid hours) and calculate the required earned leave would be helpful as well.

Still hoping the legislature makes changes to the law to make it more manageable before it goes into effect 2/21/25, but need to plan ahead.
