Examples of Qualification Bands

Use qualification bands to determine the payment percentages that workers receive for specific time periods during a long leave of absence. Use employment criteria, such as length of service, grades, or other factors to filter workers.

You can define various types of qualification bands in the Qualification Band Matrix section on the Absence Plan setup page. The examples show qualification bands based on the following factors:

• Length of service

• Grade

• Length of service and grade

Creating a Single Payment Band for Multiple Length of Service Ranges

Scenario: You want to create a single payment band for workers who have completed the following years of service:

• For workers who have completed between 5 and 10 years of service to receive 75 percent of pay for up to 10 days of absence

• For workers who have completed between 11 and 20 years to receive the same pay percentage, but up to 20 days of absence

To create the bands:

1. Create the following length of service derived factors using the Manage Derived Factors task in the Absence Administration work area.

   • Length of service greater than or equal to 5 years and less than 10 years

   • Length of service greater than or equal to 10 years and less than 20 years

2. Use the expression builder in the Qualification Band Matrix section to create bands using the derived factors that you created:

Band Sequence	Expression
1	[LengthOfService.GreaterThan5_LessThan10]
2	[LengthOfService.GreaterThan10_LessThan20]

For each band that you create in the Qualification Band Matrix section, you must create band details in the Qualification Details section.

This table shows the band details that you must create for Band 1, which you created for workers who have completed between 5 and 10 years of service.

Band Sequence	Detail Name	Duration	Payment Percentage
1	75 percent up to 10 days of absence	10	75

This table shows the band details that you must create for Band 2, which you created for workers who have completed between 10 and 20 years of service.

Band Sequence	Detail Name	Duration	Payment Percentage
1	75 percent up to 20 days of absence	20	75

Creating Multiple Payment Bands for a Grade Range

Scenario: You want all workers who belong to grade A1 and above to receive:

• 100 percent of pay for up to 10 days of leave

• 75 percent of pay for up to a further 15 days of leave

This table shows the band information that you create using the expression builder in the Qualification Band Matrix section.

Band Sequence	Expression
1	[Person.Grade] >= "A1" The person.grade attribute is on the Entities tab in the Expression Builder dialog box.

This table shows the band details that you must create for Band 2 in the Qualification Details section

Band Sequence	Detail Name	Duration	Payment Percentage
1	100 percent pay up to 10 days of absence	10	100
2	75 percent pay for the next 15 days	15	75

Creating Multiple Payment Bands for Multiple Length of Service and Grade Ranges

Scenario: You want workers who have completed the following years of service:

Length of Service	Payment Percentage
Less than 5 years	To be eligible for: 75 percent of pay for up to 10 days of absence 50 percent of pay for a further 15 days of absence
Greater than or equal to 5 years and who belong to the A1 grade	To be eligible for: Full pay up to 10 days of absence 75 percent of pay for a further 15 days of absence

To create the bands:

1. Create the following length of service derived factors using the Manage Derived Factors task in the Absence Administration work area.

   • Length of service less than 5 years

   • Length of service greater than or equal to 5 years

2. Use the expression builder in the Qualification Band Matrix section to create bands using the derived factors that you created:

Band Sequence	Expression
1	[LengthOfService.LessThan5]
2	[LengthOfService.GreaterThan5] AND [Person.Grade] = "A1"

This table shows the band details that you must create for Band 1 in the Qualification Details section.

Band Sequence	Detail Name	Duration	Payment Percentage
1	75 percent pay up to 10 days of absence	10	75
2	50 percent pay for the next 15 days	15	50

This table shows the band details that you must create for Band 2 in the Qualification Details section.

Band Sequence	Detail Name	Duration	Payment Percentage
1	100 percent pay up to 10 days of absence	10	100
2	75 percent pay for the next 15 days	15	75
