Absence Entitlements & Takes

Overview

Absence entitlement elements build balances such as annual leave or sick leave. Take elements consume those balances during absence processing and may feed payroll for payment or reduction logic.

Lifecycle

How They Interact With Calendars

Absence calendars usually run before payroll calendars. The absence run updates balances and creates data that payroll can reference through target calendar linkage.

Key Configuration Areas

Calendar linkageEnsures absence results are available to payroll

Key Takeaways

  • Entitlements build balances; takes consume them.
  • Target calendar linkage is central when absence affects payroll.
  • Sequence absence processing before payroll when the payroll run depends on absence results.
