Overview of Absence Elements for Mexico
Absence Management provides a means for accurate absence administration, tracking, reporting, and payroll calculations.
Mexico supports these absence types:
-
Vacation
-
Sickness
-
Maternity
-
Other
Absence management and payroll are integrated. Payroll processing requires specific information, which is received from the Absence Management application. It's only passed if it's configured to do so in the absence plan. The payroll process uses this information to calculate the absence payment.
In the absence plan, select the Payroll Integration and associate the absence element with the plan.
Absence management gives you the ability to manage various types of absences. The process includes:
-
Create the absence element using the Elements task with a primary earnings classification of Absences.
-
Select the secondary classification for the type of Absence such as Vacation or Sickness. Creating the absence element in payroll creates the calculation components the Calculation Information Repository requires.
-
Define the absence plan using the Absence Plans task and select the absence element within the plan itself.
-
The person's absence calculation card can be created two ways:
-
The employee enters their absence through self-service
-
You enter an absence for an employee using the Absence Records task
The task:
-
Creates the employee's absence calculation card.
-
Links the absence plan to the calculation component on the person's calculation card.
-
-
Use the Absence Records task to approve the absence. This transfers the daily and summary breakdown information to Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Payroll.
-
Process the payroll that includes these absence entries and view the resulting absence balances on the person's Statement of Earnings. After you process and archive payments, you can view the resulting absence balances on the person's payslip.
