Enhanced Integration of Absence Management with Time and Labor

By integrating Absence Management and Time and Labor, Absence administrators can now process absence multiple times and send the absence data immediately to Time and Labor. This will help to generate absence and Time and Labor payable time at the same time.

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Generate Absence Payable Time Page	TL_ABS_RUN_CNTL_FL	Use to process absence calculation and generate payable time for one or more calendar groups.

Use the Generate Absence Payable Time page (TL_ABS_RUN_CNTL_FL) to process absence calculation and generate payable time for one or more calendar groups. Here, Time Administration process is automatically triggered to generate payable time. This ensures that only processed absence is used for rules processing.

To enable this feature, you must select the Generate Absence Payable Time check box on the Configurations Page

Click the Absence Administration tile on the Workforce Administrator fluid home page, click the Absence Management from the navigation collection, then click the Generate Absence Payable Time on the Absence Administration page.

The grid on this page displays all the calendar groups that has some unprocessed absences for employees. It also displays all unfinalized calendar groups that has employees for whom approved absence has not been processed.

The Refresh button displays the current count and you can use the refresh button to refresh the grid after a particular run. On refresh, the count of the exceptions and warnings displayed on the Absence Calculation and Time Administration tiles also gets updated.

When multiple Calendar Groups are selected to be processed using the Run button, a message will be displayed indicating that this process request was submitted. Also, PS JOB (TL_GENPT) would be triggered simultaneously (one for each calendar group) with absence calculation process being executed as part of it.

Note: If the Generate Absence Payable Time check box on the Configurations Page is deselected, this page doesn’t display any calendars in the grid. All buttons and links in this page will also be unavailable.
