How You Override the Work Location for Accurate Absence Accrual Calculations

For people in the US to accurately accrue time off, the time entry process reads and stores the work location set in their assignments. You can let these people override the assignment work location on their time cards.

Use these delivered time attributes: Work Location Overrides and Work Location with US Hierarchy Overrides. The data sources for the work location override time attributes use a delivered value set of valid HR work locations. You can create your own value set using the delivered set as a template.

You can also define time balances for people in the US using delivered time balance dimensions that include these location attributes:

  • State (area1)
  • County (area2)
  • City (area3)

Then, you can use the time balances and generated database items in absence accrual formula to include time card hours in absence calculations. Here are descriptions of the supported actions for each time attribute.
