Setting Up Absences

Before you can enter and process absences for Spain, you must complete various setup tasks.

To prepare for absence processing:

1. Define work schedules and assign a schedule to each payee. Note that work schedules have an impact on just irregular part-time employees because the work schedules reflect the worked days that the payroll process counts during processing.

2. Define holiday schedules.

3. Define absence types and reasons.

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

   A list of the absence take and absence entitlement elements delivered with PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain appears in this topic. Sample values are delivered for many of these elements. You may want to replace some of these values with data that is specific to your organization.

5. Assign absence elements to payees (using eligibility groups) and process lists.

   Add absence elements to eligibility groups and process lists.

   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.)

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

6. (Optional) Define rules for self-service absence transactions.
