Enables you to attach additional fields to an absence type, which are then available in Post Absence General Details when entering absence details and define absence sub-types if applicable.

For RECORD entitlement types, you can cross-charge absences in the MyView Time Management module. If you require the ability to cross-charge an absence, you should select a narrative category for the reason which contains narrative codes where the additional details field is set to CROSSCHG. You can then select a cost centre when entering an absence provided you select a reason code that has CROSSCHG entered in the narrative code’s additional details field.

To access this window, enter fast path HR195S1 and select Abs Entry Fields in the navigation panel.

General

The following fields can be attached to the selected absence type if required:

• Reason - for recording the reason for taking the absence.
• Reason Type - for recording the reason type.
• Cause - for recording the cause of the absence.
• Health and Safety - for recording whether the absence was due to industrial injury.
• Interview Date - for recording the return to work interview date, which can be recorded at any stage during absence processing.
• Link Date - for recording the occupational link start date if the selected absence is linked.

Against each of these fields you can configure the following settings:
