Enables you to specify the absence related parameters and rate calculation parameters that apply to a service condition and absence type combination. This service condition can then be associated with employees as required.

You can define parameters for combinations such as holiday type absences for a full-time monthly paid employee, sickness type absences for a part-time weekly paid employee, holiday type absences for a full-time fortnightly paid employee etc. You must create a line for each combination that you want to process.

Note: If a rate is not allocated for a combination for which you later enter an absence, an error is generated when entering an absence and the absence is not processed in full.

You can define parameters for the following set types:

• Absence Parameter - the leave management parameters used to process an absence. The leave management parameters are set up using Leave Management Parameters.
• Absence Rate Parameter - the rate calculation parameters that define the amount paid and / or deducted for a day’s absence or an hour's absence, depending on the rate calculation parameter type. The rate calculation parameters are set up using Rate Calc Parameter Maintenance.
• Contra Rate Parameter - the rate parameters used to calculate the absence daily or hourly rate for contra payments when the Fixed Pay Element method is selected as the contra pay calculation method in Leave Management Parameters.
• Absence Entitlement Termination Rate - the rate calculation parameters that define the amount paid and / or deducted for a day’s entitlement or an hour's entitlement, depending on the rate calculation parameter type upon termination. The rate calculation parameters are set up using Rate Calc Parameter Maintenance.
