How Qualification Plan Entitlement Appears

For qualification plans, the qualified entitlement details for a worker are displayed in the Qualification Entitlements section of the Manage Absences and Entitlements page. The payment percentage defined during plan setup determines the calculation of these qualified entitlements.

Settings That Affect Display Of Qualification Plan Entitlement

To view all qualified entitlement details, you must select the Evaluate remaining entitlement without absence record check box. This check box is available on the Participation tab of the Absences Plans page. If you don't select the check box during plan creation, you can view only the payment percentage and used entitlement in the Qualification Plans section. No data appears for the plan period, qualified entitlement, and remaining entitlement columns.

How Qualification Plan Entitlement Is Calculated

Scenario: You defined a one-year rolling backward term in your qualification plan. You set up bands that entitle workers to 30 days absence at full pay and an additional 30 days at half pay.

A worker took an absence for 88 days, from June 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015. The Qualification Plans section displays the following qualified entitlements for an effective date of Sep 30, 2015 (Plan period will be Oct 01, 2014 - Sep 30, 2015):

Plan	Plan Period	Payment Percentage	Qualified Entitlement	Used	Remaining
Sick Leave		100	30	30	0
Sick Leave		50	30	30	0

The worker schedules another absence using the same plan from September 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 for 22 days. Since you defined a one-year rolling backward term, the details considered for the 365 day time period that precedes the absence start date are:

Decisions to Consider	In This Example
Rolling backward start date	September 2, 2015
Used entitlements during the rolling backward time period	21 days at 0 percent (September 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015)
Available entitlements	30 working days at 100 percent, and the next 30 working days at 50 percent

For the 22-day absence from September 1 through September 30, 2016, the worker qualifies for full payment. The Qualification Plans section displays the following qualified entitlement for an effective date of Sep 30, 2016 (Plan period will be Oct 01, 2015 - Sep 30, 2016):

Plan	Plan Period	Payment Percentage	Qualified Entitlement	Used	Remaining
Sick Leave		100	30	22	8
Sick Leave		50	30	0	30

If you don't select the Evaluate remaining entitlement without absence record check box during plan creation, the qualified entitlements appear as shown in the following table:

Plan	Plan Period	Payment Percentage	Qualified Entitlement	Used	Remaining
Sick Leave		100		22
