Absence Setup Tasks

Before you can enter and process absences for India, you must complete various setup tasks. To prepare Global Payroll for India for absence processing:

1. Define work schedules and assign a schedule to each payee.

2. Define holiday schedules.

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

   A list of the absence take and absence entitlement elements that we deliver with Global Payroll for India are listed here. We deliver sample values for many of these elements. Most likely, you'll want to replace at least some of these values with data that is specific to your organization.

   The entitlements for a company are listed through a delivered Global Payroll bracket (AB BR ENTITLE). For each defined company, you need to enter data for the privilege leave (AB VR PL ADULT and AB VR PL CHILD), sick leave (AB VR SL), and casual leave (AB VR CL) categories. The entitlements that you enter are in days per year.

   See Defining Bracket Elements.

4. Assign absence elements to payees and process lists.

   As with all primary elements, 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.)

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