EDLA and Long-Term Absences (LTA)
Long-Term Absences interact with EDLA differently depending on whether the absence covers a full day or part of a day.
Full-Day LTA
- All time uses the employee’s primary EDLA record
- EDLA percentages are not evaluated
Because a full-day LTA does not include start or end times, all absence time created by the LTA is assigned to the employee’s primary EDLA record, regardless of whether the employee has a scheduled shift on that day.
For example, an employee has a scheduled shift from 08:30 AM to 5:00 PM and records a full-day vacation. The absence covers the entire day and does not include start or end times. As a result, all absence time created by the LTA is assigned to the employee’s primary EDLA record, and EDLA percentages are not evaluated.
You can modify a full-day LTA using the EDLA_SPLIT_FULL_DAY_LTA_AS_OF registry parameter, which allows full-day absences on scheduled days to be split according to EDLA ratios instead of using the primary EDLA record.
See the Infor Workforce Management User and Administration Library (Multi-tenant) and select .
Partial-Day LTA
Partial-day LTAs include start and end times and are treated similarly to non-break work time.
When partial-day LTA is applied, the EDLA percentage logic is applied to the eligible portion of the scheduled shift, and the absence time created by the LTA is distributed proportionally across EDLA records. Break time is handled according to the configured EDLA break-time behavior.
For example, an employee is scheduled to work from 08:30 AM to 5:00 PM and records a partial-day absence from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. EDLA percentage logic is applied to the eligible portion of the scheduled shift, and the absence time created by the LTA is distributed proportionally across the employee’s EDLA records.
