Overview of Absence Rate Definitions for Canada

Use rate definitions for different types of rate calculations including absence rates.

Rate definitions use payroll balances, element entry values, and values defined by criteria to help you calculate:

• Absence payment amounts for the employee
• Accrual and liability balances
• Salary reduction amounts

Use the Rate Definitions task to create rate definitions.

When a person's absence payment is at a different rate than their salary, use these rate definitions to determine the rate. Create these rate definitions before you define absence elements.
