Modifying and Creating Absence Elements

Global Payroll for China delivers absence elements based on practices that are common to many businesses in China. Your specific business practices, however, may require you to modify the delivered elements or create your own. This topic provides some examples of common absence rules modifications and additions. Many other ways are available, of course, in which you might want to set up absence elements. These examples illustrate the kinds of changes that are possible and how you implement them.

Modifying Vacation Accrual

The system determines how much vacation a specific payee should accrue each pay period based on job status and years of service. This information is stored in the ABS BR ENTITLE bracket. By changing the return values for this bracket, you can modify how much vacation the system assigns to payees.

Adding New Types of Absences
