Define Absence Group Divisions

Explanation

This activity is used to define how absence groups should be divided using absence periods created in the Absence Configuration/Absence Period Definition tab and the system defined functions available in the Absence Functions/Absence Group Functions tab.

When absence is registered using an absence type belonging to the absence group, the absence duration will be further divided based on the group divisions specified using this activity. The attendance result will be generated for the wage codes connected to each absence period in the Absence Period Type Mapping window.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity;

• Absence groups should already be defined in the Absence Configuration/Absence Group tab.
• Absence group functions are required to be already extracted for the company. This is done in the Absence Functions/Absence Group Function tab.
• Period types should already be created in the Absence Configuration/Absence Period Definition tab.

System Effects

There are no system effects.

Procedure

1. Open the Absence Configuration window.
2. Click on the required absence group in the tree navigator. The Absence Group Divide Definition tab will be enabled in the right pane of the window.
3. In the upper pane of this tab, create a new record.
4. In the Valid From field, enter the date from which the absence group divide definition should be effective. The user ID of the log-in user will automatically display in the User ID field. Also, the date on which the record is created will display in the Modification Date field.
5. Select the record you created on the upper pane and create a new record in the lower pane.
6. Enter a sequence number in the Sequence No field.
7. In the Function ID field, select a system defined function using the list. The description of the function will display in the Function Description field. The number of parameters according to the function will display in the Number of Parameters field and the Parameter Remark field will show descriptions of all the function parameters.
   E.g. If you select CON as the absence group function, there will be 7 parameters as detailed in the table below;

   Parameter  Number	Description of the absence parameters
   1	Controls if parameter is switched on or off. Select 0 to switch off parameter or 1 to switch on parameter.
   2	Determines the number of days for the first sub period of a registered absence duration.
   3	Determines the payment ratio for the first period defined in parameter 2.
   4	Determines the payment ratio for the second sub period of the registered absence duration.
   5	Absence period type linked to first sub period.
   6	Absence period type linked to second sub period.
   7	Summarize. Count day option. Select 0 to count days from all periods or select 1 to count all days from current year.

8. In the Function Parameters field, enter values for each function parameter. Enter the required parameter values for each parameter in order by using the semi colon as a separator. The example below shows how the function parameters are defines so that the parameter is switched on, the employee is paid full for the first two days of the registered absence duration and paid half for the second period (remaining days) of the absence duration. Also, the user defined absence period types (defined in the Absence Configuration/Absence Period Definition tab) PAYF and PAYH are used to generate results for the first two days of the absence duration and the remaining days of the absence duration respectively.
   E.g. 1;2;1;0.5;PAYF;PAYH
    
9. Save the information.
   
   Note: This will be the absence group divide definition effective from the date specified in the upper pane of this tab.
