Definition

This 2 character field is for defining whether the Waiting Days should be ONLY 'served' in the current absence or could have been 'served' earlier in a 'linked' absence.

Normally, ONLY the current absence would be checked for 'served' Waiting Days". However, if a previous absence of the SAME type (defined in the field T554S-ABSTY) is present in Absence History within the linking period defined, then the whole of that previous absence will be checked for 'served' Waiting Days as well as the current absence. This process will be repeated until there is NO linked absence or the start of absence recording is reached for that person.

The possible linking periods available are as follows;

GM        GB Maternity (do not use for Waiting Days)

X     Exclude Absence (do not use for Waiting Days)

Blank     No Linking

00     Continuous Linking Only

01 - 99     Any number of days between 1 and 99.
