Configuring Absence for Half Day

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am configuring one absence type. I am testing for employee which works for 8.80 hrs/day.

Now, I can apply leave for the complete day i.e. for 8.8 hours; but when i want to apply for say 4.40 hrs; the system does not

allow and I get an error message that leave can be applied for Min of 8.80 hours.

As per my requirement employee should be able to apply leave for both half day i.e. 4.40 Hrs and full day i.e. 8.80 hrs.

In counting rules I have configuration setting for half day i.e.

section: Condition for Absence or Attendance:: < 1 day

section: Counting ::

Hours Quota Multiplier = 100%

Days Quota Multiplier = 50%

Can you please let me know if I am missing something ?

Hi ,

For u absence in table V_T554S please set the 000 so that it will allow for half and full day and the Max as 999.This will resolve ur issue.

Thanks

Hi all,

This has been resolved now....the cause was user exit code. It was checking for Absence Class values (t554s-abkla) and then

would determine if particular absence code will be applicable for full day, half day or only for full day.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Swati and Venkat...

I checked the node you mentioned and Min. currently maintained is '000' as per your suggestion. But that did not resolve the issue.

Is there any other alternative ?

Hi Avinash,

This is typical problem.

However you can create another leave type for only half day leaves, which will deduct only half day from the leave quota.

Problem in this solution is ; when an employee applies for 1 and half day togather then you need to maintain 2 records for this purpose. Issue gets worse if we have implemented ESS. Employees have to apply (record 2 leave for one kind leave applied togather) 2 times and approvals also 2 times.

Experts can guide us with a better solution.

Thanks,

Avinash,

Go to Absences --> Absence Catalog --> Define absence type and click on your absence type.

Check the value specified in the minimum duration.That should be blank.if 001 is specified there,system won't let you to record any number of hours less than a day.

Days Quota multiplier = 50% is not needed.That can be left blank if you quota is defined in hours.

this 50% is for quota reduction.For example if you record 8.8 hours,then only 1/2 day of quota will be reduced.

Hope this helps

Thanks
