How You Configure Eligibility for Absence Plans

An eligibility profile in Absence Management defines criteria used to determine whether a person qualifies for an accrual or qualification absence plan. Define eligibility profiles and then associate it with a plan to determine the set of workers who can enroll in that plan.

1. Create the eligibility profile using the Manage Eligibility Profiles task in the Absences work area.

2. Associate the eligibility profile with the absence plan using the Absence Plans task.

If you want all workers to be eligible for the absence plan, then don't add an eligibility profile. If a plan doesn't have an eligibility profile associated with it, then it doesn't mean that workers are enrolled automatically into the plan. New hires may be enrolled automatically, if that's the option set in the plan definition. Existing workers have to be enrolled manually.
