Understanding Payee Data

Absence Management uses payee data that is defined in HR, including job and personal data, and schedules.

Absence Management recognizes the following payee types:

• Employees

• Contingent workers

Absence Management can track absence information for these payee types.

When you add a payee into HR through the Job Data component, you indicate that Absence Management is the absence system for the payee and then you assign the payee to a pay group. The pay group defines the default processing instructions for the payee, which you can override.

Using elements defined in Absence Management, you can retrieve payee-specific data from HR during processing.

Several areas of HR are country-specific, such as those that deal with job and personal data. For more information about these topics, see the corresponding country-specific documentation for HR.
