Partial absence is registered when an employee returns to work on a part-time basis during his sick leave. This document provides an example of a scenario and details on how the employee's work days and hours are calculated when using different modes of work schedule.
Note that calculation will only be performed if the Calculate check box for the Duration field is selected. To do so, go to Workflow à Setup à Requests à Request types, click the sick request, and go to the Fields tab. Then, click Duration and select the Calculate check box in the Calculation section.
Let’s take a look at the following scenario:
Jackson sprained his shoulder and reported sick on 9 November, 2010. On that day, he was on a full day sick leave. The following schedule displays the return to work requests recorded for Jackson, with an assumption that 17 November, 2010, is a public holiday:
