Absence Rules for Global Payroll for China

This topic defines the customary absence rules for leaves and terminations that are used with Global Payroll for China. These rules can vary. The list is a simplification of the rules:

• The accrual year most commonly used is the 1^st of January to the 31^st of December, but you can also use a fiscal year (for example, the 1^st of April to the 31^st March, or the 1^st of July to the 30^th of June).

• Leave entitlement is based on employee status (for example, probation or confirmed), service period, and salary grade.

• The system allows adjustments to accrued leave (for example, due to forfeiture).

Note:

Global Payroll for China uses standard leave types delivered by PeopleSoft. They are not specific to China. Global Payroll for China also uses standard PeopleSoft-delivered absence elements to demonstrate how you can set up leave for China. We have not created any absence elements that are China-specific.

This table lists the leave types that the system allows the tracking of.

Leave Type	Description or Rule
Annual	This entitlement is usually paid in days. Two types exist: Accrued (the employee accrues his or her entitlement over time). Grant (the company gives the employee a specific number of days at the end of the year or the beginning of the year). You can bring the balance from a previous year forward to the current year. You can also create leave entitlements that are prorated for the year. Leave is usually paid upon termination. The company can buy back leave or the employee can forfeit the leave.
Unpaid	No specific rule.
