PVI - Import Vacation/Sick Hours is used in conjunction with PIE - Import Exceptions. It adds the ability to import vacation and sick hours used.

To import vacation or sick hours, the line in the file has the following format:

Field  Description
------ --------------
 1     Department
 2     Employee ID
 3     Type  ("5"=Vacation, "6"=Sick)
 4     Hours Used
 5     "4" (Required Constant)

Example of a few lines in an import file:

             12,HARF,5,40,4
             12,SMIT,6,8,4
             12,JONS,5,80,4

Importing sick and vacation hours has the same effect as entering vacation and sick hours with Enter Exceptions. It updates the number of hours used in the employee record, but does not change net pay.

If you include more than one line in the import file for the same employee and type, the amounts of all lines are added. For example, the following lines in the import file would record the use of seven hours of vacation time for employee HALM in department 12:

             12,HALM,5,1,4
             12,HALM,5,2,4
             12,HALM,5,4,4
