Absence Types

Oracle HRMS provides a convenient way to maintain information about the various absence types your enterprise recognizes. To facilitate reporting and analysis of employee absences, you can distinguish between absence types and absence categories. An absence category is a group of related absence types, as for example:

Absence Category Absence Type

Medical Leave Illness or Injury

Work-related Injury

Work-related Illness

Medical Appointment

Family Leave Paid Maternity/Paternity

Unpaid Maternity/Paternity

Dependent Care

Personal Leave Compassionate Leave

Personal Business

Professional Leave Certification Classes

Meeting Attendance

Table 1 - 10. Example Absence Categories and Types

Also to assist with absence reporting and analysis, you can provide reasons to select from when recording employees' time taken for an absence type. For example, if you need information to analyze the particular family-related responsibilities that cause employees to miss work, you can define reasons for absence types as follows:

Absence Category	Absence Type
Medical Leave	Illness or Injury
	Work-related Injury
	Work-related Illness
	Medical Appointment
Family Leave	Paid Maternity/Paternity
	Unpaid Maternity/Paternity
	Dependent Care
