Product Update 243: New Absence Entitlement Calculations Introduced

Introduction

There are many methods of generating entitlements for a resource within an organization. Different organizations have different calculation methods for leave entitlement. In some countries, the law depicts that the entitlement is based on the number of days an employee works and not on the number of hours, but it can also be based on working days or calendar days.

In this enhancement, two entitlement calculation methods based on working days have been introduced. The additional calculation methods provide flexibility in the entitlement calculation and meet the statutory requirements.
