The Absence Entry page in Global Payroll for Brazil is similar to the Absence Event Entry page in the core application, however this page includes validations for Brazilian absence rules.

Note: You cannot add or edit vacation absence events that were generated by the Vacation Acquisition Prd-Sched page or the Mass Vacation Programming BRA page using the Absence Entry page.

Absence Detail

Field or Control

Definition

Element Name and Type

Select the absence take element that corresponds to the employee's absence. The system displays the name of the element and the absence type. When you define an absence take element, you assign an absence type that describes the category of the absence.

Absence Reason

Select the code that corresponds to the absence reason. The Absence Reason field is optional and further describes the absence take.

Manager Approved

Select to have the absence processed when you run the absence take process. This check box is selected if you defined the absence take element as not requiring manager approval on the Absence Take - Calculation page in the core application.

Process Action

Select the process action. For a new absence event, the default is Normal. Select Void to void an absence that has already gone through the absence take process. The event is not processed in subsequent runs. Instead, the process action is reset to Normal and theVoided Indicator check box is automatically selected during the absence take process.

During retroactive processing, the system calculates a new version of the results without the voided event. Positive input is not generated from the voided event, and the results for earnings or deductions have deltas.

Voided Indicator

This check box is automatically selected if you voided the event and ran the Take process. This check box can also be selected if you use the automatic priority processing feature and have assigned a priority number to your absence take elements. If you save absence entries with overlapping dates, the system voids the event with the lower priority and creates a new event for the days that do not overlap.

Forecast Details

Absence Duration

Specify the length of the absence. Depending on which data you enter, the system calculates the missing field. For example, if you enter the begin and end date, the system calculates the duration days. If you enter the begin date and duration, the system calculates the end date.
