Introduction
This article is the second part of the series “An Overview of Fusion Absence Management”.
The first part titled: “ An overview of Fusion Absence Management Part 1 Absence Plan Definition and Use” can be found at Accenture KX Site too.
Before we start to understand How to create an Absence Type first try to understand what a Absence Type is and why is it required.
An absence type as the name suggests refers to different types of absences like Sick Leave, Annual Leave, Vacation Leave, Marriage Leave, Compassionate Leave, Maternity leave, Paternity Leave and you can keep on expanding so on and so forth.
Basically in a nutshell, all the various reasons / events / activities for which a Leave Application may be raised can be treated as Absence Type (context being Fusion Absence Management).
So before we jump into a typical business requirement and dig deep into how to fulfill the same let-us try to familiarize ourselves with some of the most commonly used terms which would be referred in the ongoing article:
Absence Pattern
This could be defined as the broad level categorization of different leave types like General Leave, Illness, Injury … special leave types.
In context of Fusion Absence Management there are 3 different types of Patterns (available as of today) namely :
-
Childbirth or Placement: Refers to specific leave type Childbirth (Maternity) and Placement ( Specific Assignment)
-
Generic Absence : Covers the largest scope in terms of leave types. Includes Annual Leave, Vacation Leave, Compensatory Off, Marriage Leave, Optional
Leave, Compassionate Leave …etc.
-
Illness or Injury : As the name suggests leave patterns which depends on an individual’s physical condition. This patterns includes Sick Leave,
Hospitalization leave to name a few.
Legislation
Geography / Country where this Absence Type is Maintained. For Example if we are doing Absence Type setup for India Legislation would be India , if we are doing for USA it would be United States and so on....
Absence Type UOM
Unit of Measure which states in which unit (either of Days / Calendar Days / Hours) will this Absence Type will get measured
Business Requirement
Now since we are aware of some of the most commonly used terms for an absence types we should try to create one absence type .Requirement is to create an Absence Type of Pattern Generic Absence.
Perquisites:
You need to have an already created Absence Plan available to attach to the absence Type (we did same in Absence Article 1 so we are good) . Also we would assume that we have an absence reason already created in the application to use.
