Narrative:
Aircraft X was going to ZZZ via uncommon routing to avoid weather. The aircraft was filed ZZZ direct. The aircraft flew through the ZZZ1 arrival corridor. The aircraft entered within the correct altitude parameters; but exited the corridor 1;000 MSL above without a pointout to the ZZZ sector/xx. I believe the event happened because at the time I was taking approach control airspace with detailed info being passed to me and my attention was brought elsewhere. Another contributing factor would be the controller on 3 months off prior and out of practice with normal procedures.I recommend that there be more training on assuming approach control airspace for individuals who do not work mid-shifts. We do not normally have to take over the approach controls until later at night; but with the pandemic we've been assuming airspace sooner in the day. More information for those that aren't familiar with normal procedures may be helpful.
