• Absence wage codes should already be defined in the Wage Codes window.
• Absence types should already be defined in the Absence Configuration/Absence Type Lists tab.

Procedure

1. Open the Absence Configuration/TA Association tab and create a new record.
2. Enter wage class and wage code in the respective fields by selecting values from the list. The absence type is now linked to the wage code specified.
3. In Time and Attendance module, it is only required to log how many hours were spent on an activity, e.g., 5 hours logged on Project Activity 1, 2 hours for Project Activity 2 and 1 hour for Administration. However, when you log an absence using Time and Attendance, the Absence module requires precise information on when the absence started/ended. This information is usually given in Time From and Time To fields, that are not present in Time and Attendance. To solve that, use the Initiate Transaction at Day Start check box.
   • If selected, when absence is logged using Time and Attendance module, it will be logged at the beginning of the working day.
   • If cleared, when absence is logged using Time and Attendance, it will be logged at the end of the working day.
4. In the Merge Method field, select how an absence should merge with adjacent absences.
   Following values are available:
   • With Previous - the absence will merge with a preceding absence,
   • With Next - the absence will merge with a subsequent absence,
   • With Previous and Next - the absence will merge with both preceding and subsequent absences,
   • Do Not Merge - the absence will not merge with any absences and will be logged as a separate record.
5. In the Registration Mode field, select how absences should be transferred to Time and Attendance.
6. Repeat the step above in order to link the absence type with more wage codes.
7. Save the information.
