Event

An event is an absence tracked in the Absence Management system.

In Absence Management there are two kinds of events: absence or non-absence.

  • 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 FMLA leave.

Note: An event record must also contain a service code in addition to the reason code. The service code determines if the record should decrement a plan balance or not.

Events are tracked in Absence Management by linking them to a reason code, which is in turn linked to a service (time entry) record. The service record indicates whether or not a plan should be decremented or not. The reason code determines which absence plan balance – available or reserve – is decremented.

For Infor Payroll clients, an event record is created when a time records is created (and when a reason code is used on that record).
