Basic Process to Integrate Absence Management and Time and Labor

Let people report absences and view accrual balances on their time cards by integrating Oracle Fusion Cloud Absence Management with Oracle Fusion Cloud Time and Labor.

You can find details about the setup tasks for Absence Management in the Implementing Absence Management guide. The time and labor tasks are in the Setup and Maintenance work area. They're part of the Workforce Deployment offering, Time and Labor functional area.

Absence Management Setup

Create the absence management configurations that support your absence and time management policies. Here are key requirements when integrating with Time and Labor.

  1. Make sure that a work schedule exists for each person's primary assignment.
  2. Set the absence type units of measure to Hours or Days.
  3. Enable the absence type for time card entry.
  4. Enroll people in absence accrual plans that are associated with the absence type. Make sure that the plan balances are up to date.

Time Entry Setup

Create the time entry configurations that support your time and absence reporting policies, as summarized here.

The components and time categories make up the layouts of a layout set. Layouts include time entry, view, review, and approval notification layouts. They can also include calendar time entry, responsive UI, shift, cost overrides, and web clock layouts. A layout set and HCM groups make up worker time entry profiles.

Also, create the time collection device configurations, as appropriate.

Time Processing Setup

Create the time processing configurations that support your time and absence processing policies, as summarized here.
