Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Eligibility Hours in an FMLA Plan Using a Roll Backward Calendar Are Not Calculated Correctly when the Requested Leave Is for a Future Date and the Employee Has Gaps in Their Prior 12 Months of Payroll History (Doc ID 2745155.1)

Symptoms

A Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) plan is set up to use a rolling backward calendar using actual payroll hours. When an employee with gaps in their payroll history for the last 12 months requests an FMLA leave with a future start date (any date after the last payroll end date), the eligibility calculation forecasts hours. It also forecasts hours for those past months when the employee either had no check or had a $0 check, but no FMLA hours. The eligibility process should forecast hours only from the last pay end date forward to the date the requested FMLA leave should start.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

     1. Enter employee’s FMLA request and Save (Navigation: Benefits > Track FMLA (Family Medical Lv > Request/Authorize/Track Leave).
     2. Select Eligibility tab.
     3. Select the Eligibility and Entitlement button.
