Absence Setup Tasks

The PeopleSoft Global Payroll: Understanding Absence Setup and Management Tasks topic describes the general setup steps for absences. The specific steps applicable to Global Payroll for Brazil follow.

  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 or create new absence elements, as needed.

    A list of the delivered absence take and absence entitlement elements delivered for Brazil is available in the Viewing Delivered Absences Elements for Brazil topic.

  4. Enable absence forecasting for absence take and absence entitlement elements as required.

  5. Assign absence elements to payees and process lists.

    As with all primary elements, you must assign absence entitlement and absence take elements to payees and include the elements in the process lists that you use when you run the absence process. PeopleSoft delivers predefined sections and process lists for absence processing. You can use these, modify them, or create your own.
