Use
In this IMG activity, you enter the maximum number of months that can lie between two absences before the system classifies the absences as independent absences. According to legislation, some absences must be linked when you calculate continued pay for absences (see Relationships).
If two absences lie further apart than the number of months you enter in this IMG activity, the system regards the absences as independent absences.
If two absences have the same value in the Relationships field in the Absences infotype (2001), or the difference between the values in this field differs by less than the value of the constant in this IMG activity, the system links together the two absences.

Example
Your employee, Anna Stepanova, is sick from January 10 to January 18. Based on the data in the IMG activity Determine Level of Social Insurance Payments During Absence, Anna is entitled to 60% of her regular pay for the first five days (day number day number = 1) of an absence and from the sixth day (day number = 6), she is entitled to 50% of her regular pay.
In January, the period of absence totals nine days. Anna is also sick from March 5 to March 15. Since the second absence falls within the number of months you enter in this IMG activity, the system links together the two absences. This means that for the second absence, the system inherits the number of days' absence from the first absence and therefore uses the day number that applied at the end of the first absence. In other words, the day number for the start of the absence in March is 5.
Note: The system does not calculate the period between the two absences, in other words, from January 19 to March 4.
