Events

An event is an absence that is tracked in the Absence Management system. In Absence Management there are two types of events:

  • An absence event decreases a plan balance, such as used vacation or a payout
  • A non-absence event records occurrences that do not decrease a plan balance, such as tardiness or company events.

An event record must contain a service code in addition to the reason code. The service code determines whether the record decrements a plan balance.

Events are tracked in Absence Management by linking them to a reason code, which is linked to a service record. The service record indicates whether a plan is decremented. The reason code determines which absence plan balance, available or reserve, is decremented.
