Understanding Swiss Absence Rules

In Global Payroll for Switzerland, an entitlement plan is a record of all absence entitlements that are required, such as the number of days of vacation and the number of paid sick days.

The number of vacation days to which employees are entitled may be linked to weekly working hours, age, length of service, a specific function, canton of employment, or other factors.

The entitlement plan that you create here can be assigned directly to an employee. If you do not assign a specific plan, the system uses the default entitlement plan from the Tariff Factors component, since every employee is normally assigned to a tariff, tariff area, and employee category. You can make individual assignments and overrides at the employee level using supporting element overrides (SOVRs), by assigning the relevant entitlement plan to the element CH_AB_EE_ENTL_PLAN.
