Absence Approval and Processing Rules

When you create an absence type, you can configure the absence approval and processing rules.

The following table explains the absence approvals and processing rules:

Rule	Effect of Enabling
Approval processing	All absence submissions must be approved.
Approvals reset on update	When you update an already scheduled absence, it resets approvals and goes through manager approval again. For example, the status changes from Scheduled to Awaiting approval.
Deferred processing	An absence that you schedule doesn't have any impact on accrual balance or entitlements until you confirm the absence. You must run the Evaluate Absences process to confirm deferred absences.
Additional payload attribute	Helps you configure the absence approval flow according to your organization needs. This allows more flexibility in routing approvals within your organization.
Concurrency	Enable workers to receive concurrent entitlements through different absence types for absences scheduled for the same time and day.
Payable after termination	Enable workers to receive qualification entitlements even after termination. For example, in some legislations even though employment may end, the absence entitlement for maternity or adoption leave may continue to be paid.
