Cause

This is an expected behavior as Manage Leave of Absence options are no longer supported when People Profile and Time Off for LOA is activated, hence, it will no longer be possible to add a return to work record through the Job History (either Insert New Record / Job History import). Please see KBA 2354737 for further information.

 

Resolution

  1. Create a Time Profile and assign the LOA time types to the Time Profile through Admin Center > Manage Time Off Structures

  2. Assign the Time Profile to the employee on the start date of the LOA record
