Absence Management Integration and Retroactivity

Regardless of the payroll system's retroactive mode—which can be corrective or forwarding—the Absence Management retro conversions are always done in corrective mode. This means that all prior transactions for the retroactive period are reversed and new transactions are created for all entries from the recalculated results. This ensures that not only changes to amounts, but also changes to Absence Take codes and any segmentation that may result from retroactive processes is reflected in the updated transactions. Payroll for North America, Time and Labor and/or any third-party payroll system integrated with Payroll Interface processes the reversing of old transactions as well as new transactions; consequently, the system calculates the correct net amount for each absence code.

Note: If an employee whose absences are tracked using Absence Management is transferred to a different pay systems that uses Absence Management, we recommend that this be done at the beginning or end of the pay period. The generated positive input from Absence Management does not handle segments; consequently, there is a risk of sending the absence data to both systems if the Calendar ID's Additional Criteria is defined to process positive input.
