Absence Management
Absence Management in Oracle HCM refers to the tools and processes used to track, manage, and
handle employee absences (like vacation, sick leave, or other types of time off) within an organization.
It helps companies ensure that absences are recorded correctly, policies are followed, and employees'
time away from work is managed efficiently.

In simple terms, Oracle Absence Management is like a system that keeps track of when employees
take time off and makes sure everything is done properly, from counting days to ensuring the right
approvals.

Here's how it works with examples:

1. Tracking Time Off: Imagine you're an employee who takes 5 days of vacation. In Oracle
Absence Management, you would log those 5 days off into the system. The system keeps track
of how many vacation days you have left in your balance.

Example:

o John has 10 days of vacation.

o He requests 5 days off for a holiday.
o Oracle tracks the 5 days off and updates his remaining balance to 5 days.
2. Approval Process: Before employees can take time off, their manager might need to approve
it. Oracle makes this easy by having an approval process where a manager can review and
either approve or reject time-off requests.

Example:

o Maria requests 2 days off.

o Her manager (Tom) gets a notification to approve or reject her request.
o Tom approves it, and Oracle records the absence.
3. Absence Types: There are different types of absences, such as sick leave, vacation days, or
personal leave. Oracle lets companies set up these categories based on their policies.

Example:

o Employees at a company might have 10 days of sick leave per year.

o If an employee calls in sick for 3 days, Oracle tracks that as sick leave and updates
their balance.
4. Policy Rules: Each company can set its own rules about absences, like how many days off
employees get, how to handle partial days off, and what happens if an employee runs out of
vacation days. Oracle Absence Management ensures that these rules are applied correctly.

Example:

o A company policy states that employees can carry over a maximum of 5 unused
vacation days to the next year.
o If an employee has more than 5 unused vacation days, Oracle can alert HR to prevent
it from being carried over.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

5. Automated Reports: Oracle can automatically generate reports showing how much time
employees have taken off, how much they have remaining, and how often they are absent.
This helps HR and managers make better decisions and ensure fairness.

Example:

o HR wants to see who has taken the most sick leave this year.
o Oracle generates a report showing who has taken time off and for what reason.

Why is this useful?

• Saves Time: Without a system, tracking every employee's time off can be chaotic. Oracle
makes this automated and easier for HR and employees.
• Ensures Fairness: It ensures that everyone follows the same rules for taking leave and that
employees don’t take more time off than they're allowed.
• Compliance: Helps organizations stay compliant with labor laws, such as tracking family leave
or disability time off.
• Employee Satisfaction: Employees can easily see how much time off they have left and can
request time off without confusion.

In summary, Oracle Absence Management is a way to keep track of employee absences (vacations,
sick days, etc.), make sure everything is approved correctly, and provide reports that help companies
stay organized and fair in managing time off.

Time Card
A time card in Oracle Absence Management is a tool that tracks the amount of time an employee
works, including the hours they spend on regular work, overtime, and any time off (like vacation or
sick leave). It helps companies accurately record employee attendance, manage work hours, and
calculate payroll.

Accrual
Accrual refers to the process by which employees "earn" their time off (such as vacation or sick leave)
over time, instead of receiving it all at once. In other words, it’s the way companies calculate and
manage how much paid time off (PTO) an employee has accumulated.

In Oracle Absence Management, accrual helps track how much vacation or sick leave an employee
earns based on their work time. This is typically done automatically in the system and is governed by
company rules, like the number of hours or days earned per month or year.

How Does Accrual Work?

Here’s an example to explain accrual in simple terms:

1. Monthly Accrual:
o Imagine your company gives you 12 vacation days a year, and you earn them
monthly.
o This means you earn 1 vacation day each month.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

o At the end of January, you would have earned 1 day of vacation. By the end of
February, you would have earned another vacation day, bringing your total to 2 days
of vacation.
2. Accrual Based on Hours Worked:
o Some companies give you a specific number of vacation hours for every hour you
work.
o For example, your company might give you 0.05 hours of vacation for every hour you
work. So, if you work 160 hours in a month, you would earn 8 hours of vacation that
month.

Example: Accrual for Vacation Days

• Company Policy: The company provides 12 vacation days per year, but employees earn them
monthly.
• Accrual Rate: Each employee earns 1 vacation day every month.

Example:

o John works for the company from January 1st.

o By the end of January, John has earned 1 vacation day.
o By the end of February, John has earned another 1 vacation day, bringing his total to
2 vacation days.
o By the end of December, John will have earned 12 vacation days for the year.

How Does Oracle Track Accrual?

Oracle Absence Management automatically tracks and calculates accruals based on the company's set
rules. It updates the employee’s balance automatically whenever new time off is accrued (e.g., every
month, after certain hours worked, etc.).

Example:

• John’s company uses the monthly accrual method for vacation days.
• At the start of each month, Oracle automatically adds 1 vacation day to John’s balance.
• The system also deducts time when John requests time off (like a vacation) and updates his
balance accordingly.

Why is Accrual Important?

1. Helps with Time Off Management:

o Accrual systems ensure that employees can only take as much leave as they have
earned. This prevents employees from taking more vacation days than they have
available.
2. Fair and Transparent:
o Employees know exactly how much time off they will earn and when they will be able
to take it. It ensures fairness and helps prevent misunderstandings regarding time off.
3. Prevents Leave Abuse:
o By using accrual, companies make sure employees don’t take too much leave too early
in the year or before they’ve earned it, which helps balance employee needs and
company resources.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

Common Types of Accruals

• Vacation Leave Accrual: Employees earn vacation days over time, like a set number of days
or hours per month.
• Sick Leave Accrual: Similar to vacation leave, employees may accrue sick leave based on their
work time or set periods (e.g., monthly).
• Paid Time Off (PTO) Accrual: This is a general type of leave where vacation and sick leave are
combined into one category. Employees earn PTO over time.
• Holiday Leave Accrual: Some companies also track holiday leave accrual, but usually, holidays
are predetermined and not based on employee work hours.

Key Points to Remember About Accrual in Oracle Absence Management:

1. Automatic Calculation: Oracle automatically calculates and updates your leave balance based
on the accrual rules set by your company.
2. Employee View: Employees can check their accrued time off balance (e.g., how many vacation
days they’ve earned and how many are remaining).
3. Company Policies: The way leave accrues depends on the company’s policies, whether it’s
based on time worked, months, or hours.
4. Accrual Caps and Carryover: Companies may have rules about how much time can
accumulate (a cap) or how much unused leave can be carried over into the next year.

Conclusion

Accrual is the system that determines how employees earn paid time off (like vacation or sick days)
over time. With Oracle Absence Management, accrual is automated, meaning it automatically tracks
the amount of leave you earn, updates your balances, and ensures you can only take leave you’ve
earned. This system is efficient and ensures fairness by clearly showing how much time off an
employee has accumulated and when they can use it.

Absence Patterns/ Type

1. Generic Absence

What It Is:

• A generic absence is when an employee is absent from work for reasons that are not
specifically categorized or do not fall into any other absence types like sickness, vacation, or
parental leave.
• It's a broad term and can cover things like personal days, unexplained leave, or any other
absence that doesn't fit neatly into a defined category.

Example:
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

• An employee may take a day off for a personal matter that they don’t want to disclose (e.g.,
family event, personal appointment) or for a reason not covered by other leave policies.

Key Points:

• Not specified: The reason isn’t defined in a formal category (it’s general).
• Duration: It can be short-term, like a single day or a few hours.
• Payment: Can be paid or unpaid depending on company policy. Some companies allow
employees to take a few days as part of their paid time off (PTO).

In Short: It’s a "catch-all" for any leave an employee takes that doesn't fit into the other absence
types (like illness, vacation, or maternity leave).

2. Childbirth or Placement

What It Is:

• This absence type is specifically for maternity leave (related to childbirth) or parental leave
(for adopting a child or fostering).
• It allows employees time off for the birth of a child, adoption, or foster care placement.

Example:

• A female employee who just had a baby might take several weeks of maternity leave to
recover and bond with her newborn.
• An employee who adopts a child may take time off to care for the child during the transition
period.

Key Points:

• Duration: Typically longer-term (several weeks to months).

• Payment: Often paid or partially paid, but it depends on the employer and local laws. In
some places, the government provides maternity pay, or the company provides paid
parental leave.
• Plan: Employees usually need to notify their employer well in advance and provide medical
or adoption documentation.

In Short: This absence type is for family-related leave, either for giving birth or becoming a parent
through adoption or fostering.

3. Illness or Injury

What It Is:

• This absence type is used when an employee is absent from work due to being sick or having
a physical injury. It includes both short-term illnesses (like a cold or flu) and long-term
health conditions (like surgery recovery or chronic illnesses).
• It can also cover mental health-related absences, such as stress or anxiety.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

Example:

• An employee has the flu and needs to take a couple of days off to recover.
• An employee injures themselves in a car accident and needs several weeks to heal and
attend medical appointments.

Key Points:

• Duration: Varies from a short day or two to longer durations for more severe injuries or
health conditions.
• Payment: Often paid through sick leave or disability benefits, but this depends on the
employer’s policy. Some employers offer paid sick leave; others may not.
• Documentation: For long-term illness or injury, employees may need to provide a doctor’s
note or medical certificate to confirm they are unable to work.

In Short: This is for employees who need time off because they are physically ill or have been
injured.

Recap:

• Generic Absence: Any absence for unspecified reasons, typically short-term and may or may
not be paid.
• Childbirth or Placement: Leave for new parents, whether due to childbirth, adoption, or
fostering, typically long-term and often paid.
• Illness or Injury: Leave for physical or mental health reasons, with varying durations and
payment conditions, and typically requires medical documentation.

Leave Policies:

• Accrual Rates: Define how employees earn leave over time (e.g., per month or year).
o Example: An employee might accrue 1.5 days of vacation per month.
• Leave Carryover: Sets rules for unused leave days at the end of the year.
o Example: Employees can carry over up to 5 unused vacation days to the next year; any
extra days are forfeited.
• Leave Expiration: Specifies if and when leave days expire.
o Example: Sick leave days must be used within 18 months of being earned or they
expire.

Self-Service Portal:

o Employees can access a self-service portal to:

▪ Request time off
▪ View their leave balances
▪ Check their leave history (how much leave has been taken)
o This reduces administrative work and increases transparency for employees.

Integration with Payroll:

 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

o Absences are integrated with payroll systems, ensuring that the time off is accounted
for in salary processing (e.g., if an employee takes unpaid leave or uses paid time off).

Absence Rules
Let’s say Jane is a full-time employee who also works part-time as a trainer:

• Duration Rules: If she takes sick leave, the system applies rules that limit her to 5
sick days per year.(so that employees wonts take less days of absence than the limit
or exceeds than the limit)
• Open-Ended Absence Rules: Jane takes maternity leave, but she’s not sure when
she’ll return. The system allows her leave to continue without a set end date.
• Multiple Assignment Rules: Jane has two roles—her main role in sales and a part-
time role as a trainer. If she takes time off, the system tracks leave separately for
each job to ensure the correct balance is deducted.
• Absence Record Maintenance: If Jane took 2 sick days earlier in the year, the system
keeps a record of that and updates her sick leave balance so she knows how much is
left.

o Lock if completed for employee: Employees can see their leave’s report but
cannot edit it.
o Lock if completed for manager: Employees/ managers can see their leave’s
report but cannot edit it.
• Attachment Rule: If the absence days get exceeds then this rule can apply
mandatorily to attach the files or documents for the
employees/manages/administrators.

How Oracle Absence Management Works

1. Absence Request:

Employees log into the system to request time off.

• They choose the type of leave (vacation, sick, etc.), the dates, and any other required details.
• The system checks for eligibility and leave balance availability.

Example:

• An employee requests 3 days of vacation leave. Oracle checks their balance to ensure they
have sufficient days.

2. Manager Approval:

• Once the employee submits the request, it goes to the manager for approval.
• The manager receives a notification of the request and reviews the dates for potential conflicts
(e.g., ensuring other team members aren’t on leave at the same time).
• The manager can approve or deny the request based on company policies.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

Example:

• If the employee requests leave during a busy time, the manager may deny it or suggest
different dates.

3. Absence Validation & Rules Application:

• The system checks if the employee has enough leave balance and whether the request adheres
to company policies (e.g., maximum leave days, carryover limits).
• If policies are violated (e.g., the employee has no vacation days left), the system will either
reject the request or notify the employee to update their request.

Example:

• If an employee tries to take more vacation days than available, Oracle will flag this as an issue.

4. Absence Approval:

• Once approved, Oracle updates the employee’s leave balance.

• The employee’s record is updated in the system, and the absence is tracked.
• Notifications are sent to the employee and HR about the successful request and approval.

5. Absence Reporting:

• After absences are tracked, reports can be generated for various purposes, such as payroll
processing or attendance analysis.
• HR can generate reports showing:
o Employee leave balances
o Trends in absenteeism across teams or departments
o History of employee absences for compliance and audit purposes.

Absence Approvals and Transfers

Absence approvals and transfers are key parts of the Oracle Absence Management system, which
helps manage time off (like vacation or sick days) for employees. Let’s break these down into simple
terms with examples to make them easy to understand.

Absence Approvals:

When an employee requests time off (for things like vacation, sick leave, or personal days), the
manager or supervisor has to approve or reject the request. This is called absence approval.

1. Employee Requests Time Off:

o The employee logs into the Oracle system and requests time off, choosing the type of
leave (e.g., vacation, sick leave) and the dates they want to be off work.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

oExample: Sarah requests 3 days off in December for a family vacation. She submits the
request in the system.
2. Manager Gets the Request:
o The manager receives a notification of Sarah’s request for time off. They can review it
to see if it makes sense (i.e., check if other team members are off at the same time, if
it’s busy at work, or if Sarah has enough leave days left).

3. Manager Approves or Rejects:

o After reviewing the request, the manager approves it if everything looks good (like if
there are enough leave days available and no scheduling conflicts). If there’s an issue,
the manager might reject the request or suggest different dates.
o Example: Sarah’s manager approves her 3-day vacation request because the team is
not busy at that time, and Sarah has enough vacation days left.
4. System Updates:
o Once approved, the system updates Sarah’s leave balance (it subtracts 3 days from her
available vacation time), and Sarah can now plan her time off confidently.
o Example: Sarah’s vacation balance is reduced by 3 days, and she can see that she has
7 days left in total.

Why Are Absence Approvals Important?

• Helps Manage Team Availability: Managers can ensure there are no scheduling conflicts and
that the team has enough people to cover work when someone is on leave.
• Ensures Accurate Leave Balances: The system updates the employee’s leave balance
automatically, ensuring they don’t take more time off than they’ve earned.
• Tracks Attendance: Absence approvals help companies track who is off work and when,
making it easier to manage attendance and payroll.

Absence Transfers:

Absence transfer refers to the process of transferring an employee’s absence record from one type
of leave to another or from one payroll period to another.

For example, if an employee uses sick leave but later decides they want to count it as vacation leave,
that’s an absence transfer.

1. Employee Takes Leave for One Reason:

o Suppose John takes a day off for being sick. He uses 1 sick leave day.
o Example: John takes 1 sick day to rest at home.
2. Changing the Type of Leave:
o After John takes the sick day, he decides he wants to use vacation time instead (maybe
because he wants to keep his sick days for future use).
o Example: John’s manager approves his request to transfer the 1 sick day to a vacation
day, so he doesn't lose it as a sick day.
3. System Updates the Transfer:
o Oracle updates the records automatically: the system removes the 1 sick day from
John’s sick leave balance and adds it to his vacation balance.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

o Example: John’s sick leave balance goes down by 1 day, and his vacation balance
increases by 1 day.

Why Are Absence Transfers Important?

• Flexibility for Employees: Sometimes employees might prefer to switch between types of
leave (e.g., use vacation instead of sick leave). This allows for more flexibility in managing time
off.
• Error Correction: If an employee accidentally requests the wrong type of leave, it can be
transferred to the correct type.
• Tracking Accurate Leave Records: It ensures that the system has accurate records for different
types of leave (sick, vacation, personal days, etc.).

Example of Absence Approvals and Transfers in Action

Scenario 1: Absence Approval

• Employee: Emma
• Request: Emma requests 5 days off for a vacation.
• Manager: Her manager checks the team schedule and sees there’s no conflict with other
employees taking time off, and Emma has enough vacation days available.
• Action: The manager approves her request.
• Result: Emma’s leave balance is reduced by 5 days, and she can take her vacation with no
issues.

Scenario 2: Absence Transfer

• Employee: Mark
• Request: Mark is sick on a Monday and uses 1 sick day.
• Action: Later in the week, Mark decides he wants to save his sick days for emergencies and
would prefer to use his vacation days instead.
• Transfer: Mark’s manager approves the transfer of 1 sick day to vacation leave.
• Result: The system moves 1 sick day from Mark’s sick leave balance to his vacation leave
balance, ensuring the records are updated correctly.

Conclusion

• Absence Approvals: This is when a manager reviews and either approves or rejects an
employee’s request for time off. It ensures the company runs smoothly, with enough people
available for work.
• Absence Transfers: This allows employees to switch the type of leave they’ve used (for
example, changing a sick day to a vacation day). It gives more flexibility in managing leave
balances and correcting mistakes.

Both processes are managed by the Oracle Absence Management system, ensuring that everything
is tracked accurately and according to company policies.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

Work Schedule
In Oracle Absence Management, work schedules are crucial for determining the hours employees
are expected to work and tracking their attendance, leaves, and absences accordingly. Work
schedules are not just about fixed times—they can also involve shifts, work patterns, and calendar
events. These help the system determine how much time off an employee has, how to track their
attendance, and how to manage complex scenarios like shift work or irregular work hours.

Let’s break down each concept and see how they work in Oracle Absence Management with simple
examples.

1.Shifts

A shift refers to a specific time frame during which an employee is scheduled to work. This can
include morning shifts, evening shifts, or night shifts. Employees who work in shifts (like those in
factories, hospitals, or retail) often have non-standard work hours, which need to be accurately
tracked.

Example of Shifts:

• Employee: James
o Work Schedule: 3 shifts (morning, evening, night)
o Morning Shift: 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM
o Evening Shift: 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM
o Night Shift: 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM

In this example, James works different shifts depending on the schedule set by his employer. Oracle
Absence Management tracks which shift he works and calculates the corresponding hours, ensuring
his time off is accurately managed.

2.Work Patterns

A work pattern defines the regular set of days and shifts an employee works over a period (like a
week or month). Work patterns help the system understand when an employee works regularly and
how their absence requests should be evaluated.

Work patterns can be fixed (same days and shifts each week) or rotating (shifts change regularly).
These patterns ensure the system understands the regularity of an employee's work schedule and
handles absences appropriately.

Example of Work Patterns:

1. Fixed Work Pattern:

o Employee: Sarah
o Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
o Work Pattern: Fixed, with weekends off
o Sarah works the same hours each week, Monday to Friday. Her work pattern is
consistent and follows a regular 9 AM to 5 PM schedule.
2. Rotating Work Pattern:
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

o Employee: Mike
o Work Schedule:
▪ Week 1: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
▪ Week 2: Monday to Friday, 4:00 PM - 12:00 AM
o Work Pattern: Rotating shifts
o Mike works two different shifts that rotate every week. His schedule changes, but it's
still predictable over time. This pattern is important to track his absences, especially
if he takes leave during the day or night shifts.

Oracle Absence Management uses these work patterns to ensure accurate tracking of the
employee’s attendance and absences based on the days and shifts they work.

3. Calendar Events

A calendar event is any event (such as holidays, company events, or planned shutdowns) that may
affect the regular work schedule. For example, if there is a public holiday or a company-wide event,
the employee may not be required to work that day, even though it’s part of their regular work
schedule.

Oracle Absence Management allows for calendar events to be integrated with an employee’s work
schedule. This helps the system to:

• Track time off (such as holidays or company events).

• Avoid confusion when an employee requests leave on a holiday or company-wide event.

Example of Calendar Events:

1. Public Holiday:
o Employee: Laura
o Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
o Holiday: New Year's Day (January 1st)
o Calendar Event: New Year's Day is a public holiday.

How it works: If Laura requests leave on January 1st, the system automatically checks the
calendar event for New Year’s Day and adjusts her leave balance accordingly. If it’s a holiday
and she doesn’t need to work, she won’t be charged for leave on this day.

2. Company Event:
o Employee: David
o Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
o Calendar Event: Company shutdown from December 24th to December 26th.

How it works: David’s company has a shutdown during these days, so even though
December 24th to 26th is normally a workday for him, the company event marks it as a non-
working day. The system ensures that employees like David are not charged leave for these
days.

How Oracle Absence Management Handles Shifts, Patterns, and Calendar Events
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

1. Absence Requests Based on Shifts and Patterns:

o When an employee requests time off, Oracle checks the employee's work schedule
(which could be based on shifts or a specific work pattern) to calculate if the
requested leave overlaps with their regular work hours.
o Example: If Sarah (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) requests leave at 10:00 AM on a workday,
Oracle confirms that she is scheduled to be at work and adjusts her leave
accordingly.
2. Handling Time Off During Rotating Shifts:
o For employees like Mike who have rotating shifts, Oracle uses the rotating work
pattern to determine whether their absence request fits within their scheduled
hours for that specific week.
o Example: If Mike requests leave on a Monday when he is scheduled for the day shift
(Week 1), the system will treat this request differently compared to if he requests
leave during his evening shift (Week 2).
3. Calendar Events Affecting Work Schedules:
o Oracle integrates calendar events like public holidays or company-wide shutdowns
into the system to ensure that employees aren’t mistakenly charged for leave on
these days.
o Example: If a public holiday falls on a Friday, and that is part of John’s regular work
schedule, Oracle automatically adjusts his absence request or payroll calculations for
that holiday.

Conclusion

• Shifts: Track different times during which employees work, especially in industries with non-
standard hours.
• Work Patterns: Define a consistent or rotating set of workdays and shifts for employees,
helping the system track attendance and leave accurately.
• Calendar Events: Mark specific days (like holidays or company events) that affect the normal
work schedule, ensuring accurate leave balances and absence tracking.

Absence Plan
Oracle Absence Management uses these components to automatically calculate and track
absences, ensuring that employees are not penalized for holidays, weekends, or days off that are
part of their shift or work pattern. By integrating shifts, work patterns, and calendar events, the
system offers a comprehensive solution for managing time off and tracking employee attendance
accurately.

1. No Entitlement Plan

• What it is: This is when you don't get paid or earn leave for taking time off.
• Example: Imagine you take a personal day off, but your employer doesn't give you paid
leave for it. They don’t track your time off, and there’s no paid time off you can use. It's just
an unpaid day off. This is a No Entitlement Plan.

2. Qualification Plan

• What it is: This plan helps determine whether you are eligible to take a certain type of leave
based on specific rules, like how long you've worked at the company.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

• Example: Let’s say your company gives paid sick days, but only employees who have worked
for at least 6 months qualify for those sick days. If you've been there for 5 months, you don't
qualify for sick days. After 6 months, you become eligible, and the qualification plan tracks
that.

3. Accrual Plan

• What it is: This is when you earn leave over time, like you get a set amount of paid time off
each month or year.
• Example: Suppose your company gives you 1 day of vacation per month. Every month, your
vacation balance goes up by one day. After six months, you’ll have 6 days of vacation saved
up to use whenever you need. This is what an Accrual Plan does—it tracks the days you earn
and lets you take them later.

4. Agreement Plan

• What it is: This plan is based on an agreement between you and your employer, or a group
of employees (like a union), and it sets out specific rules for leave.
• Example: Let’s say you're part of a union, and the union has negotiated an agreement where
employees get extra vacation days or special leave for certain situations. The company must
follow that agreement. This is an Agreement Plan. It’s like a special deal that applies only to
certain employees, and the company has to respect it.

5. Donation Plan

• What it is: This plan lets one employee give their unused leave to another employee who
needs it.
• Example: Imagine you have 5 unused vacation days, but a coworker is dealing with a serious
illness and doesn’t have enough leave. You can donate some of your vacation days to help
them out, so they don’t have to miss work without pay. This is what a Donation Plan
allows—helping others by sharing your unused leave.

6. Compensatory Plan

• What it is: This is when you get time off instead of extra pay for working overtime or extra
hours.
• Example: Suppose you worked extra hours one weekend, and your company offers
compensatory time off. Instead of paying you extra money for those hours, the company
gives you time off later (e.g., for every 2 hours of overtime, you get 1 hour off). This is a
Compensatory Plan—you earn time off in place of overtime pay.

Plan Term
a plan term refers to the specific period or timeframe during which an employee is eligible for or
covered by certain benefits or leave entitlements under an absence management plan.

1. Calendar Year (January 1 – December 31)

• The calendar year is the standard year that everyone uses, starting on January 1 and ending
on December 31.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

• Example: Imagine you have a rewards program that starts earning you points from January 1
to December 31. No matter when you joined, all members earn and use their points from
January to December.
o Think of it like: A yearly event that always starts on New Year’s Day, no matter when
you show up.

2. Anniversary Year (Starts the day you joined)

• The anniversary year starts the day you first joined or signed up for something, and lasts 12
months from that date.
• Example: If you sign up for a service on March 15, your anniversary year will be from March
15 to March 14 the next year.
o Think of it like: It’s like celebrating your “sign-up birthday” every year, with the
benefits or rewards resetting on that same day every year.

How They Differ:

• Calendar Year: Always tied to the same dates (January 1 to December 31), regardless of
when you joined.
• Anniversary Year: The year starts on the day you signed up and lasts 12 months from that
point onward.

Example to Make It Clear:

• Calendar Year:
o If you join a rewards program in June 2024, your rewards would be tracked for the
whole year (from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024), even though you joined
in June.
• Anniversary Year:
o If you join a rewards program in June 2024, your rewards would be tracked from
June 2024 to June 2025, and then reset on June 1, 2025, for the next year.

In Summary:

• Calendar Year = Follows the same fixed dates (January to December).

• Anniversary Year = Starts when you join and goes for 12 months from that date.

Assignment Status and Assignment Category

• Assignment Status: Indicates the employee’s current working status (active, on leave,
terminated, etc.), which directly impacts their eligibility to accrue or use benefits.
• Assignment Category: Specifies the type of employment relationship or work arrangement
(full-time, part-time, temporary), which affects the level and type of benefits the employee
is eligible for.

Waiting Period
The time an employee must wait before they are eligible for benefits.
• Can apply to benefits like health insurance, paid time off (PTO), retirement plans,
and others.
• Waiting periods vary based on the type of benefit and company policy.
• Often used to manage costs, ensure eligibility, and allow for administrative
processing.
• Subject to legal requirements and regulations in some jurisdictions.

Difference between Waiting Period and Vesting Period

1. Waiting Period

A waiting period is the time an employee has to wait before they can start using certain benefits
from their employer.

• Example: If your company offers health insurance but has a 30-day waiting period, it means
you can’t start using the insurance until you’ve worked at the company for 30 days. You’re
not eligible for that benefit until the waiting period is over.

2. Vesting Period

A vesting period is the time an employee must work before they fully own or have the right to keep
certain benefits, like money the company adds to your retirement account.

• Example: Let’s say your company puts money into your 401(k) retirement savings, but you
don't fully own that money right away. If the company has a 3-year vesting period, it means
you have to stay with the company for 3 years to keep the money they added to your
account. If you leave the company before 3 years, you may lose some or all of that money.

Simple Key Differences:

• Waiting Period: This is how long you have to wait before you can start using benefits (like
health insurance or paid time off).
• Vesting Period: This is how long you have to stay with the company to keep the employer's
contributions to your retirement or other benefits.

Example to Compare:

• You start a new job, and after 30 days (waiting period), you can start using the company
health insurance.
• The company also gives money to your 401(k), but you can only keep that money if you stay
with the company for 3 years (vesting period). If you leave before 3 years, you might lose
the money the company contributed to your 401(k).

In short:
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

• Waiting period = When you can start using benefits.

• Vesting period = When you fully own the benefits the company gives you, like retirement
money.

Accrual Methods
Sarah has a job where she gets 12 vacation days per year.

• Front-Loaded: She gets all 12 days on January 1st, and she can take them at any time during
the year.
• Incremental Accrual: She earns 1 day of vacation every month. By April, she has earned 4
days of vacation, and by December, she will have earned all 12 days.

Each repeating period (pay cycle) allows the employee to accrue vacation gradually. If you are paid
monthly and accrue 1 day of vacation per month, you would earn 1 vacation day each month,
starting from the first day of the month until the last day.

So, for a monthly accrual system:

• Start of the period: January 1st

• End of the period: January 31st
• During this period, the employee earns 1 vacation day.

The process repeats every month, with the employee continuing to accumulate vacation days for
each new month.

Balance Frequency Source

In the context of balance frequency source in HR or payroll systems, the terms repeating period and
person primary frequency are used to define how often an employee’s leave balance (vacation, sick
leave, etc.) is updated or accrued, based on the type of accrual method used.

• Repeating Period: The overall time period that determines how often vacation or leave is
accrued.
• Person Primary Frequency: The specific frequency assigned to an employee that
corresponds with the company's repeating period (like monthly or bi-weekly).

Elements Defined
In Oracle HCM Absence Management, absence elements refer to the building blocks used to define
and manage employee absences. These elements are configured in the system to track the types of
absences, entitlements, accruals, and other related aspects of absence management. They allow the
organization to automate the calculation and management of various types of leaves and track
employee absences effectively.

Retroactive Processing of Absence Elements

In essence, retroactive processing helps to "go back in time" and make necessary corrections or
updates to data, ensuring that past records are accurate and aligned with the correct entitlements,
policies, and calculations.

HCM Approval Management Overview

Human Capital Management (HCM) approval management refers to the processes and workflows
involved in managing approvals for various employee-related activities and requests within an
organization.

Key components of HCM Approval

Oracle BPM (Business Process Management) is a powerful platform that helps organizations
automate and manage their business processes. In the context of absence management, Oracle BPM
can be used to automate the approval workflows for employee leave requests, ensuring that they
align with company policies and are processed efficiently.

Oracle SOA AMX refers to Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Application Management
Extensions (AMX). It is a set of tools and components within Oracle SOA Suite designed to help
manage and monitor service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications and services. Oracle SOA AMX
extends the capabilities of Oracle SOA Suite, allowing organizations to effectively monitor, analyze,
and optimize their SOA implementations.

Workflows
There are the processes in which tasks are routed automatically to the users.

Setting up basic details for vacation accrual plans

A Vacation Accrual Plan is a system used by companies to help employees earn or accumulate
vacation days over time, based on the amount of time they’ve worked. It’s like a way to "build up"
vacation days as you work, which you can then use when you need to take time off.

Creating a length of service derived factor

Length of Service Derived Factor is a concept used in human resources and absence management
systems, such as Oracle Absence Management, to determine benefits or entitlements based on the
amount of time an employee has been working for an organization

Length of Service:

• This refers to the total amount of time an employee has worked for the organization,
typically measured in years, months, or days.
• For example, if an employee joined the company 3 years ago, their length of service is 3
years.

Derived factor
• It means that this factor or multiplier is calculated or derived based on the length of service.
• For example, companies may offer different benefits (such as vacation time, sick leave, or
pension benefits) based on how long an employee has been with the company.

Defining Band Matrix

Band Matrix: The band matrix just helps figure out how much vacation someone gets based on two
things:

1. How long they’ve worked (0-5 years, 6-10 years, 11+ years).
2. What job level they are (entry-level, mid-level, senior-level).

It’s a way to organize how vacation hours grow over time and with promotions!

Defining an Entitlement matrix with qualification plan

The phrase "details: 110 calendar days at 100% pay" in Oracle HCM Fusion Absence Management
likely refers to a specific absence or leave policy related to employee benefits. Here's a breakdown
of what it could mean:

1. "110 calendar days": This indicates the duration of the leave or absence allowed under this
policy. In this case, the employee can take up to 110 calendar days, which typically includes
weekends and holidays, not just business days.
2. "100% pay": This means that the employee will receive their full salary (i.e., 100% of their
regular pay) during the 110 calendar days of absence. This could apply to a specific type of
leave, such as maternity leave, sick leave, or other paid time off.
3. "details": This could refer to the placeholder label used by the system to show the
description or rules about the leave/absence entitlement in the user interface, showing the
full details of the benefit.

NOTES
• In Eligibility Profile the Effective start date should be 1/1/1951 (for avoiding in conflicts
during project).
• In Eligibility Profile the Profile status should be global.
• Payment Percentage is the percentage of paying salary to the workers during their absence
period, usually 100%.
 ORACLE FUSION HCM ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

• A flat amount in the ceiling rule is a fixed number of leave days (or hours) that an employee
can accrue or carry over before the accrual stops or before the leave balance is capped.
• The ceiling amount is the maximum number of leave days or hours an employee is allowed
to accumulate.
• Accrual plan limits are the maximum time that the worker can take accrue
• Rollover rule means transferring the absences to next year
