How You Configure Absence Types to Prevent Absences From Impacting Multiple Assignments

You can use the Allow assignment selection at absence entry and Allow only one assignment per absence check boxes to configure an absence type to ensure that all absences using that type will need to be entered for a specific assignment.

You can use these check boxes in the absence type setup page's Multiple Assignment Rules section to ensure that:

• When you select both these check boxes, workers can only enter absences for specific assignments in the self-service page. If the worker has only one assignment, or the manager has access to only one assignment, then they can only select that assignment. If HCM Assignment Security is enabled, then the managers can see only those assignments of the employee that they have access to in the Business Title. Similarly, on the absence entry page available to the administrator, the assignment drop-down list displays only those assignments that the administrator can enter an absence for. Workers can enter an absence only after they select an assignment.

• When you select only the Allow assignment selection at absence entry check box, workers can enter absences for only a specific assignment or for all the assignments. When the employee or manager selects the All option, the absence impacts all the assignments of the employee. Similarly, administrators can choose to select a specific assignment or All option from the assignment drop-down list on the absence entry page available to them.

If you don't select either of these check boxes, the application will continue its default behavior and won't allow the entry of absences for specific assignments.
