Understanding Absence Rules for Illness, Maternity, and Work Accidents

PeopleSoft delivers absence entitlement and absence take rules for illness, maternity, and work accidents. You can modify some of these absence rules by updating the variables and brackets described in this section. Entitlement for the elements discussed in this section is calculated per absence—that is, at the time of each absence event, not at a regular frequency.

This section discusses:

  • Absence elements for illness.

  • Absence elements for maternity leave.

  • Absence elements for work accidents.

  • Modifying absence rules for illness, maternity, and work accidents.

Note:

The following tables present a partial list of the take elements and corresponding entitlement elements delivered for illness, maternity, and work accidents. The tables list only those take elements that you enter on the Absence Event Entry page. When required, the system uses the mapping and negative entitlement features of Global Payroll to trigger the resolution of other take rules during processing. For example, if you enter the absence take element MLT MALADIE to record sick time, once entitlement for this element has been depleted, the system automatically uses the entitlement for MLT MALADIE 2, which contains the appropriate compensation rate for the second absence period. When entitlement for MLT MALADIE 2 is depleted, the system uses the entitlement associated with MLT MALADIE 3, and so on.
