Define Dependant Absence Types

Explanation

This activity is used to define dependant absence types. This configuration allows you to define the maximum number of absence days that can be taken by an employee without prior notice. The maximum number of days you specify using this activity will be the default number of days that can be generated as limits for the dependant absence type. When employee registers an absence period, the absence limits defined for the dependant absence type can be used along with the limits for the registered absence type. In such cases, the main absence limit as well as the dependant absence limit is reduced (Note that they do not sum up. The dependant absence limit only adds information to the main absence limit). In this activity, you can also specify whether individually registered corrective values should be considered when the limit is generated.

Prerequisites
