Examples of Prioritizing Absence Plans for an Absence Type

You prioritize absence plans associated with the absence type to determine the order in which the plans must process accrual balances and entitlements. These examples show how to prioritize plans according to your requirement.

Prioritizing Multiple Accrual Plans

Scenario: You want to enable workers to use vacation time from two accrual absence plans. When workers exhaust time from one plan, they must be able to use time from the other plan.

When you associate each of these plans with the absence type:

• Set a higher priority to the absence plan whose accrual balance workers must use first.

• Set a lower priority to the absence plan whose balance workers must use after they exhaust the other plan's balance.

Prioritizing Multiple Qualification Plans

Scenario: In accordance with statutory rules, you want workers on long-term sickness absence to receive payments from two plans in this sequence:

• Payments from a statutory plan

• Payments from an occupational sickness plan

When you configure the plans:

• Set a higher priority to the statutory plan so that workers are paid from that plan first.

• Set a lower priority to the occupational sickness plan so that payment rules in that plan are processed after the statutory plan.
