Examples


You create descriptions of absences based on the following requirements:
1. You want to valuate absences for paid leave differently to absences for illness or days in lieu.


2. You want to keep statistics on the number of paid and unpaid absences that occur in your company. To do this, you create counting class in in the step Form counting classes for absence valuation. When the payroll is run, you collect the times in these "buckets" and can then fill the appropriate wage types during further processing.


3. You want to valuate absences differently according to:

• • Employee grouping

• • Legal regulations (for example, continued pay, illness)

• • Whether the absence falls on a workday or a public holiday
  • 
    

Standard settings


The standard SAP R/3 System contains sample entries for absence valuation rules:

• Paid leave

• Illness/stay at health spa

• Accidents

• Unpaid leave

Recommendation
The descriptions of the absence valuation rules are based on the country grouping. If you use an international version of the SAP R/3 System, you can specify different absence valuation rules for each country.


Please note the following situation that arises from the special position of absence valuation as an interface between Time Management and Payroll Accounting:


You cannot group the absences according to country grouping since country groupings are not used in Time Management. SAP recommends using descriptions that are internationally applicable:

Ctry grpg	ValRule	Name
01	01	Paid leave
02	01	Paid leave
03	01	Paid leave

You can account for the country-specific differences in Group absences for absence valuation.


Activities
1. Check whether the standard absence valuation rules cater to your requirements.


2. Add new absence valuation rules if required. Choose appropriate names so that the absence valuation rules are easily identifiable.
