To set up absence recording:

1. Define a nonrecurring absence element, with the Termination Rule Actual Termination and with at least one input value, for each absence type. Link this element.

See: Defining and Linking an Absence Element

Note: To set up an absence type for which you do not need to maintain a running total of time taken or remaining, and do not need eligibility rules, omit this step.

To keep a single record of employees' time taken for two or more different absence types, you can define one element only to associate with all the types.

See: Setup of Absence Types

2. Define categories of absence types as values for the QuickCode Type ABSENCE_CATEGORY, and your absence reasons as values for the QuickCode Type ABSENCE_REASON.

You can select the same reason for different absence types.

See: Adding QuickCode Values

3. Define each absence type, associating with the type its absence element.

See: Defining an Absence Type

4. For an absence type with a decreasing balance, use the Element Entries window or the MIX batch facility to make initial element entries for employees eligible for the type.
