Use the Absence Plan page to incorporate qualification plan rules. However, if you want to define other special rules to suit your requirement, you can write your own formulas.

Formulas for Qualification Plan Rules

The following table lists the aspects of a qualification plan for which you can write a formula and identifies the formula type for each.

Qualification Date Rule	Date when eligible workers enroll in the plan.	Global Absence Plan Enrollment Start Date
