How Do I Reduce Regular Earnings with Absence Entitlements

When defining an Absence element, the element template provides a prompt for reducing regular earnings. By selecting Yes, you can reduce the regular earnings with the absence entitlement calculation.

This setting reduces only earnings and hours for elements attached to a salaried salary basis where no time cards are used.

For example, a salaried employee reports 16 hours of vacation time-off this pay period. You pay them on a biweekly schedule.

This is what the employee's Statement of Earnings would look like if regular earnings are reduced. The sum of hours worked and not worked equals the regular hours.

Earnings Type	Hours	Amount
Regular Salary	64	$6400
Vacation Pay	16	$1600

However, this is what the employee's Statement of Earnings would look like if the regular earnings weren't reduced.

Earnings Type	Hours	Amount
Regular Salary	80	$8000
Vacation Pay	16	$1600
