Sharing Schedule Data

Absence Management uses the holiday schedule that is created in HR. Holiday schedule information is stored on a payee’s Job record. Absence Management uses the holiday schedule during absence processing to create daily data and update leave balances. It also uses the holiday schedule to resolve count elements during absence processing.

If a holiday schedule is not defined for a payee at the job level in HR, Absence Management uses the holiday schedule defined for the payee’s pay group. (The holiday schedule defined for the pay group does not appear, by default, on the Job record.)

Absence Management and Time and Labor use many of the same pages and records for setting up and assigning work schedules. If you’re using both applications, you may need to create and assign schedules only once.

Absence Management handles batch processing for schedule assignments differently than Time and Labor. When processing in Absence Management, if a payee is using the default work schedule, the system retrieves the default work schedule from the pay group definition. In Time and Labor, if the payee is using the default work schedule, that system retrieves the default work schedule from the workgroup definition.

In Absence Management, you can also assign a schedule to a payee other than the pay group default. You can assign schedules and alternate schedules individually to payees on the Assign Work Schedule page (Primary Details tab and Alternate Details tab).
