Documentation

Definition

Each form of attendance and absence is represented by an attendance/absence type, which describes the attendance or absence in more detail.

Use

An employee's incapacity to work, leave, release from work, and so on can be described in more detail by a range of absence types. The system uses the absence types to determine the payment relevance of the absence and its effects on statistics and reserves, for example.

Attendance types are primarily used to document employees' work, and typically describe the type of activity.

Example

Inability to work:

  • Illness with certificate (paid)
  • Illness without certificate (unpaid)
  • Industrial accident
  • Accident en route to work
  • Accident not work-related

Attendances:

  • Overtime hours
  • Business trip
  • Works council activity

Use

You can limit the attendance records which the system should take into account, according to their subtype (absence type). If you choose the leave subtype, the system only evaluates leave data for the selected employees.

Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

Supplementary Documentation - AWART 0007

Use

Here, you define all absence types that should be taken into account to determine the entitlement to additional leave for positions with the value 1 in the Heavy work center field (detailed view of table T528B).

For positions for which a 2 is entered in the Heavy work center field, all absence types are taken into account. If you make an entry in the Absence types field, it is ignored by the system in this case.

The preset value AAAA is a dummy value.

Supplementary Documentation - AWART 0008

Use

Using the valuation rule based on absence type, employee data is checked for absences that correspond to the specified absence type.

You can specify how you want each absence found (that is, each absence that corresponds to the absence type) to be included in the calculation of time data (for example, seniority) in the rule steps such as threshold value and weighting.

Procedure

Specify which absence type should be included in the calculation of time data.

Examples

Dependencies

No distinction is made between absence modifiers. You can only determine the absence type at this point. Only the absence type is used to check the absences, not the combination of absence modifier and absence type.

The "Use of absence type" pushbutton shows the absence modifiers for which the absence type is defined.

Supplementary Documentation - AWART 0009

Use

Enter the attendance or absence type to be used as the default value in the time sheet.
