  2. Enter wage class and wage code in the respective fields by selecting values from the list. The absence type is now linked to the wage code specified.
  3. In Time and Attendance module, it is only required to log how many hours were spent on an activity, e.g., 5 hours logged on Project Activity 1, 2 hours for Project Activity 2 and 1 hour for Administration.

  4. In the Merge Method field, select how an absence should merge with adjacent absences.
    Following values are available:
  5. In the Registration Mode field, select how absences should be transferred to Time and Attendance.
