Absences

Absences

Purpose

This component is used to define regulations to determine how absences (unpaid leave, paid leave, illness, and so on) are handled in payroll accounting.

You can define specifications to determine:

Which valuation basis is used to valuate a paid absence
Which absences are granted bonuses (for example, vacation allowance)
Which absences cause deductions in pay
Which absences are used to form statistics

Integration

To be able to use this component, you must record employee absences such as leave, illness, and so on, in the Time Management component or using a third-party system. The component processes absences from the Absences infotype (2001).

Features

You can valuate absences as if the employee had worked. This enables bonuses for night work or for work on a Sunday or public holiday to be taken into account.

You can define specifications for determining deductions in pay for an unpaid day of absence.

You can determine vacation allowances for each day of absence.

You can specify that an absence be valuated using an average pay, to be defined at a later stage. This means that you can include the average overtime of the previous month in the calculation of vacation allowances, for example.

You can group absences together for the purposes of cost accounting or statistics to evaluate them subsequently for multiple employees.

Absences can be valuated according to particular conditions on the day of the absence or the absence entitlement from which they have been deducted.

You can define rules to process specific requirements.
