Create Absence Plans Using Value Definitions

After setting up the collective agreement absence plan you will need to set up the Value Definitions that correspond to it.

For Maternity, Paternity and Adoption, various criteria occur:

• Number of previous children: The number of children is defined by this value definition:
  • Suffix: _BIRTH_TO_PREVCHILD_VD
  • Suffix: _PREVCHILD_TO_SEN_VD1
• Simple or multiple births
• Seniority:
  • Suffix:_SEN_TO_ENTLBANDS_VD)
• Entitlement bands: They represent the percentage of payments and the duration (in days) of the payment at this percentage
  • Suffix: _ ENTLBANDS n – where n is a number from 1 to 9
