Calculating Absences by Consecutive Days

Set up absence calculation based on consecutive days, so the pay rate changes depending on how many days in a row an employee has been absent.

For example: sick leave unpaid on the first day, 50% on the second day, 50% on the third day, and a full day of pay from the fourth day.

  1. Click Settings, then Work Agreements, then click the work agreement you want to configure for consecutive-day reporting.
  2. Scroll down to the "Additional Absence Settings" tab and add the consecutive-day calculation.

In the tab, select the absence type you want to configure (for example, Sick leave), then click "Add day" and fill in each step of the sequence:

  • Day - which day in the sequence the rule applies to (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on).
  • Global employee report symbol - if you export to an external payroll system, enter the symbol that system requires.
  • Paid amount in days - the pay value for that day. Use decimals for partial pay: 0 for an unpaid day, 0.5 for 50%, 1 for 100%.

Repeat for each day in your policy, then click Save at the bottom of the page.

Notes: select the absence type you want to configure. If you export to payroll software, set the codes according to your payroll system. To calculate a day's value as 50%, type 0.5 for that day.
