Absence Rules

PeopleSoft Global Payroll delivers predefined rules for processing absences due to vacation, illness, maternity, and other reasons. Oracle designed these rules according to India's statutory requirements. You can easily modify many of these rules to reflect absence policies that are specific to your organization or to labor agreements that might be in force for the payees.

This section supplements the absence documentation provided in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll PeopleBook, which we recommend that you read before reading this chapter on India-specific absence processing.

If you want more information about the specific rules composition for any of the elements listed in this section, use the Global Payroll core pages to get this information. For example, if you want to see the calculation logic of an absence entitlement element, use the Calculation page (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Elements, Absence Elements, Absence Entitlements, Calculation).

Note. You can see the relationship between elements by using the View Element Relationships utility (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Elements, View Element Relationships).

Delivered Absence Elements

Process Lists and Sections

The AB PRIV LV, AB CASUAL LV, AB SICK LV, AB MTRNTY LV, PRIV LV, CASUAL LV, SICK LV, and MATERNITY LV absence elements are members of the AB SE ALL process section.

The AB SE ALL section is included in the IN PL ABS process list.

Viewing Delivered Elements

Oracle delivers a query that you can run to view the names of all delivered elements designed for India. Instructions for running the query are provided in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll PeopleBook.

Absence Setup Tasks

Before you can enter and process absences for India, you must complete various setup tasks. To prepare Global Payroll for India for absence processing:

1. Define work schedules and assign a schedule to each payee.

2. Define holiday schedules.

3. Modify the delivered absence take and absence entitlement elements, and create new absence elements, as needed.

   A list of the absence take and absence entitlement elements that we deliver with Global Payroll for India appears in this chapter. We deliver sample values for many of these elements. Most likely, you'll want to replace at least some of these values with data that is specific to your organization.

   The entitlements for a company are listed through a delivered Global Payroll bracket (AB BR ENTITLE). For each defined company, you need to enter data for the privilege leave (AB VR PL ADULT and AB VR PL CHILD), sick leave (AB VR SL), and casual leave (AB VR CL) categories. The entitlements that you enter are in days per year.

   See Defining Bracket Elements.

4. Assign absence elements to payees and process lists.

   As with all primary elements, you must assign absence entitlement and take elements to payees and include the elements in the process lists that you use when you run the absence processes. (This step is not necessary for per-absence entitlement elements.)

   ThePeopleSoft system delivers predefined sections and process lists for absence processing. Use these, modify them, or create your own.
