Define Parameters for Absence Base Type

Explanation

This activity is used to define parameters for the absence calculation base type. When the Absence Base Type ID is used during payroll calculation, values defined for the absence base type will be used (overwriting overlapping default absence type values). This allows for a single parameter to return different values depending on the absence base type used.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity, the Absence Calculation Base Type ID has to be created.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, a set of parameter values will be defined and used whenever the Absence Base Type ID is used during payroll calculation.
