Use this window to create sub categories/periods which can exist within
absence groups and absence types. Absence periods are used in combination with
functions defined in the Absence Functions window so that the
absence registered by an employee can be divided into sub periods.
E.g. Absence type SICK (sick leave) can
be divided into sub periods such as PAID, UNPAID etc. When an employee registers
an absence period using the absence type SICK, the absence period will be
proportioned among the sub periods PAID and UNPAID depending on the link between
absence functions and the absence periods.
