Guidelines for Loading Absence Entry
Using HCM Data Loader, you can load data for the following components of the Absence Entry business object:

Absence Entry |
You can load absences for:
|
Person Childbirth or Placement Absence Record |
You can load absence records associated with the birth or placement of a child or children in the worker's household. This record captures planned and actual absence dates, as well as dates associated with the event, such as expected date of childbirth. |
Advanced Absence Entry |
You can load advanced absence entries when there is a breakdown of absences into specific dates. This is used when an absence is taken against different assignments or if the absence is intermittent. For example, a weekly recurring absence scheduled for a weekly visit to the doctor. |
Preparing to Load Absence Entry Objects
Before you load absence records:
-
Ensure you provide the name of the employer to verify the employment is valid as of the start date of the absence. The employee's start date determines validation of the absence entry for the legal employer.
-
Ensure that the absence type is valid as of the start date of the absence and belongs to the same legislative data group as the person the absence is for.
-
Ensure that the absence reason is defined, if it's specified as a required attribute in the absence type.
-
Ensure that a work schedule has been assigned to the employee. If there is no work schedule assigned, HDL will take default hours time work schedule.
Deleting Absence Entry Records
You can also delete the Absence Entry business object using HCM Data Loader. When you delete an Absence Entry record, the child records are also deleted.
