Definition

Indicates whether the subsequent illness setting defined in the Absences (2001) infotype is ignored.

Use

The Subsequent Illness field in the Absences (2001) infotype determines if neighboring absences are logically related; if the Subsequent Illness fields have different values then neighboring absences are considered as separate (unrelated) absences.

You use the Ignore subsequent illness setting checkbox to override the Subsequent Illness field value, as follows:

  • If this checkbox is selected, then the Subsequent Illness field has no effect on determining whether two absences are considered neighboring (related). This usually applies when the neighboring absences have different absence types, for example, when one absence relates to an illness and the other to a labor accident
  • If this checkbox is not selected, then two absences are considered neighboring if the Subsequent Illness field value is blank, or if the two absences have the same value. This usually applies when the neighboring absences have the same absence type, for example, if both absences are illness-related

Dependencies

This checkbox overrides the selection in the Subsequent Illness field of the Absences (2001) infotype.

Example

Consider an example involving neighboring absences with different absence types.
In this case, the Ignore subsequent illness setting checkbox is selected. As a result, if the absences have different values in the Subsequent Illness field, then the system will ignore these. Note: The absences are still considered to be neighbors if other conditions are fulfilled, for example, if there are no working days between them.

Consider an example involving neighboring absences with the same absence type.
In this case, the Ignore subsequent illness setting checkbox is not selected.
An employee returns to work after an illness, but is sick again within 14 days of the first illness. In some cases, this would simply be a continuation of the first sickness period; however, based on details in the medical certificate, you know the illnesses are not related. As a result, the Subsequent Illness field has different values for the two absences, which means that these absences are not neighbors (unrelated) and the second illness is considered a new sickness period.
