System Elements Calculated during the Absence Processing

This table lists system elements that are calculated during absence processing:

System Element Name	Description	Format	DU	DB	DA	OS	PA	OR	Comments
ABS BEGIN ENTL BAL	Absence Begin Entitl Balance	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the entitlement period balance as of the beginning of the day. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS BEGIN WAIT BAL	Absence Begin Wait Balance	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the wait period balance as of the beginning of the day. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS CUM EVT WAIT	Absence Cum Event Wait	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the entitlement balance as of the beginning of the day. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS CUM LINK WAIT	Absence Cum Linked Wait	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the sum of the wait count of each day of the absence event through the day of the absence event being processed including the wait counts of previously linked absence events. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS CUM PARTIAL HR	Absence Cum Partial Hours	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the sum of the partial hours of Absence Takes for the same day being processed including the current Absence Take. This system element is only available when duplicates are allowed for that Absence Take. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS ELIG DATE	Absence Eligible Date	Date	X	X	X	X	X	X	The Take element's eligibility date resolves once at the beginning of each absence event. The resulting value of the eligibility date is available via this system element. The employee is not eligible to be paid prior to this date (all daily units will be considered unpaid). The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
ABS ELIG IND	Absence Eligible Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X	X	This system element equals 'Y' (Yes), if the day of the event being processed is greater than or equal to the eligibility date, else the system element equals 'N' (No). (See ABS_ELIG_DATE) The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day. Valid Values: Character 'Y' &'N' ('Y' = Yes/'N' = No).
ABS END ENTL BAL	Absence End Entitl Balance	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the entitlement balance as of the end of the day. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS END WAIT BAL	Absence End Wait Balance	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the wait period balance as of the end of the day. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
ABS LINK IND	Absence Link Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X	X	This system element = 'Y' (Yes) if the event is linked to a prior event. If the current absence event is not linked, the system element will equal 'N' (No). This system element can be used in your rules to share a linked entitlement balance, or to share a linked waiting period. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event. Valid Values: Character 'Y' &'N' ('Y' = Yes/'N' = No).
ABS LINK PRD	Absence Link Period	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	The Take element's link period duration between two absences is resolved once at the beginning of each event. The resulting value of this period of time is available via this system element. This is used to help determine whether or not the current event is linked to a previous event. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
ABS MAP ELEMENT	Absence Map Element Number	Pointer	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the Take element's mapped to Take element. This system element will be populated for each day of the current event that is mapped (a mapped to Take element is generated). The value of this system element is resolved each day and therefore could have a different value each day.
ABS MIN IND	Absence Minimum Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X	X	This system element = 'Y' (Yes) if this event satisfies the minimum number of calendar days the absence must span before the event is eligible to be paid else the system element equals 'N' (No). The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event. Valid Values: Character 'Y' &'N' ('Y' = Yes/'N' = No).
ABS MIN PRD	Absence Minimum Period	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the Take Element's minimum period or the minimum number of calendar days the absence must span to be considered a valid absence event. If the absence event spans fewer calendar days than the minimum period, the event is not eligible to be paid and will not be considered for linking (a future dated event will never link to this event). The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
ABS NEG ELEMENT	Absence Negative Element Number	Pointer	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the Take element's negative balance rules, take with other absence. This system element will be populated when the amount of the entitlement balance drops below zero (the day is redirected to another take element). The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
ABS SOURCE ELEMENT	Absence Source Element Number	Pointer	X	X	X	X	X	X	Represents the PIN number of the Take element from which this Absence Take was mapped or redirected. The value of this system element could vary each day.
ABS WAIT COUNT	Absence Wait Count	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	The Take element's wait count formula resolves each day if the wait per absence indicator is checked on. The resulting value of the wait count formula is available via this system element each day (the unit representation for each day). The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
DAY COUNT	Day Count	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	The Take element's Day Formula resolves each day. The resulting value of the Day Formula is available via this system element each day (the unit representation for each day). The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
DAY COUNT UNP	Day count unpaid	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X	X	This system element equals the number of unpaid units (the unpaid portion of the day count). The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
FIRST DATE LINK	First Date Link	Date	X						Represents the begin date of the earliest absence event linked to the absence event begin processed. If the event is not linked it represents the begin date of the absence event being processed. The value of this system element will be the same for all days within each event.
FIRST EVT BGN DT	First Event Begin Date	Date	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the begin date of the earliest absence event linked to the absence event begin processed. If the event is not linked it represents the begin date of the absence event being processed. The value of this system element will be the same for all days within each event.
LINK YES-NO	Link Yes-No	Character	X						This system element = 'Y' (Yes) if the event is linked to a prior event. If the current absence event is not linked, the system element will equal 'N' (No). This system element can be used in your rules to share a linked entitlement balance, or to share a linked waiting period. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event. Valid Values: Character 'Y' &'N' ('Y' = Yes/'N' = No).
TOTAL ABS BY DAY	Total Absence hours by day	Decimal	X						Represents the sum of the partial hours of Absence Takes for the same day being processed including the current Absence Take. This system element is only available when duplicates are allowed for that Absence Take. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
