What makes up the Absence Process?

The following diagram shows the Absence Process from on boarding an employee through to the payment of absence.

As you work through the optional Absence module related content, you will learn about how Timegate Web manages absence using the different system settings for absence processing. You will learn what will work for, and what will not work for your business based on your individual needs.

The basic principal of the absence module is that an absence rule is created. This defines:

• The type of absence (holiday, sickness etc.)

• How to calculate the daily hours

• What and how to calculate the daily rate

• The entitlement (contract multiplier rules are the exception)

• Whether the rule will track days or hours.

Note: Before you start to set up the absence functionality within Timegate Web you must have a clear understanding of the absence rules within your business. If Timegate Web is not configured correctly to mirror these rules, the system will generate inappropriate absence payments.
