ORACLE FUSION HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT FOR SAUDI ARABIA ABSENCE MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION AND FUNCTIONAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Introduction

This paper provides examples, based on statutory requirements, of the setup tasks required for creating Saudi-specific absence elements
and absence management for your enterprise from Release 10 onwards.

This paper assumes that the following associated documents have been read:

Implementing Absence Management

Creating and Assigning a Work Schedule
Trouble-Shooting Fusion Absence / Payroll Integration Issues (Doc ID 1930654.1)
Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): HR Implementation and Functional Considerations
Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): Payroll Implementation and Functional Considerations

Overview

With absence management you can manage worker absences and corresponding entitlements. You can create absence types based on
predefined absence patterns, and associate them with absence plans. You must associate an absence element with an absence plan if
you wish to transfer the following information for payroll processing:

Payments for absent time during maternity or long term sickness

Disbursement of partial time accruals
Accrual disbursement when plan enrolment ends
Absence liability amounts

You can process the payments in Oracle Fusion Global Payroll or use HCM extracts to transfer the information to a third-party payroll
application for processing.
The following objects need to be defined:
Rate Definitions
Absence Elements
Derived Factors
Eligibility Profiles
Absence Plans
Absence Reasons
Absence Certifications
Absence Types
Absence Categories
To support the following types of absence:
Annual leave
Sick leave
Maternity leave
Paternity leave
Marriage leave
Pilgrimage leave
Bereavement leave
Examination leave

Unpaid leave

The suggested order for defining objects ensures that information is available when required.

Absence Transactions
The following information is based on how users record absence information.
The assessment date for all types of leave, except Maternity or Paternity, would normally be when the absence begins.
The assessment date for Maternity or Paternity leave would normally be based on a qualification date.
For example, statutory maternity leave is for 60 working days, and 24 working days are to be taken prior to the expected birth of the child.
The assessment date would be based on a qualification date. The qualification date formula would be the expected birth date minus 28
calendar days, or 24 working days based on a 6-day working week.

Annual Leave
To record annual leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times are optional.
Open ended annual leave is not expected.

Sick Leave
To record sick leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times could be optional.
The end date would be entered when the person returns to work so open ended sick leave is allowed.

Maternity Leave
To record maternity leave the user must enter the expected date of childbirth and the planned start and end dates of leave.
As statutory maternity leave has to start no later than 24 working days before the expected date of childbirth there is no earliest start date.
The latest start of leave should be calculated as 28 calendar days prior to the expected date of childbirth.
Actual date of childbirth is required.
Actual start date will be required and actual return date will be entered when the person returns to work, so open ended maternity leave is
allowed.

Paternity Leave
To record paternity leave the user must enter the expected date of childbirth and the planned start and end dates of leave.
Actual date of childbirth is not required.
Actual start date and actual return date will be required, but start and end times are optional.

Marriage Leave
To record marriage leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times are optional.
Open ended marriage leave is not expected.

Pilgrimage Leave
To record pilgrimage leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times are optional.
Open ended pilgrimage leave is not expected.

Bereavement Leave
To record bereavement leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times are optional.
Open ended bereavement leave is not expected.

Examination Leave
To record examination leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times are optional.
Open ended examination leave is not expected.

Unpaid Leave
To record unpaid leave the user must enter the start and end dates, but start and end times are optional.
Open ended unpaid leave is not expected.
For further information on Unpaid leave processing refer to Upgrade to Global Absences and Functional Considerations (UAE, Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait) (Doc ID 1918703.1)

Setup Sequence for Absence Management
The suggested setup sequence for absence management is as follows:

Create Rate Definitions

You can create rate definitions to calculate compensation rates and other rates, such as accrual rates, using payroll balances. You can
use rate definitions in absence plans or by calling the rate calculation formula from another formula. If the rate is based on more than one
balance, you can specify multiple rate contributors. Use the Manage Rate Definitions task in the Payroll Calculations work area.
See Implementing Absence Management: Rate Definitions

You must specify a periodicity, such as hourly or weekly, for the returned rate and each rate contributors. When you use the rate in a
formula, you can, however, override the default periodicity.

The rate calculation:

1. Converts all values that contribute to the rate into a single periodicity.
2. Converts that rate into the return periodicity.

For example, for a rate with a periodicity of weekly using the annualization conversion formula, the rate calculation does the following:

1. Calculates an annual figure from the value and periodicity of each contributing earning and deduction.
2. Converts the annual figure into a weekly value.

By default, rates are converted using the following values:

52 weeks in a year
12 months in a year
260 working days in a year

To specify different conversion rates, you can define your own formula using the Rate Conversion formula type.

For example the formula provided for an annualized rate conversion includes the calculation based on 260 working days in a year, a 5
day working week, whereas a 6 day working week equates to 312 working days in a year. The following is an example of how to create a
formula based on a 6 day working week:

Navigate to task Manage Fast Formulas in the Payroll Calculations work area
Search for a formula of Type equal to Rate Conversion
Select ANNUALIZED RATE CONVERSION
Copy Formula Text (do not edit original fast formula)
Create a new fast formula using Create icon at top of search results table
Enter Formula Name
Select Type as Rate Conversion
Enter a Description
Select an existing Saudi Arabia Legislative Data Group
Enter the Effective Date from which fast formula can be used
Insert Formula Text copied from the original ANNUALIZED RATE CONVERSION fast formula
Edit Formula Text by changing all instances of 260 to 312
Save and Submit the fast formula
Compile the fast formula

Create Absence Elements
The Manage Elements task uses a questionnaire to gather information which is then used to create all the supporting payroll definitions
such as elements, balances, formulas, and calculation component required to process absences. Follow the steps detailed below:
Navigate to task Manage Elements in the Payroll Calculations work area
On the Manage Elements page, click Create
On the Create Element window, select the Legislative Data Group and Absences from the list for Primary Classification
Select the appropriate value from the table below for Secondary Classification
The Category will be defaulted to Absence
Select Continue to open the Create Element page

The review page summarizing the values entered will be shown. If the details are correct press Submit button to create the element and its
associated payroll definitions, otherwise correct the information before submitting.

After creating element eligibility records via the Element Summary click Done.

Create Derived Factors

Derived factors define how to calculate certain eligibility criteria that change over time, such as a person's age or length of service. You
add derived factors to eligibility profiles and then associate the profiles with objects that restrict eligibility.

See Implementing Absence Management: Eligibility Profiles

The following derived factors can be created via the Manage Derived Factors task:

Age
Length of service
A combination of age and length of service
Compensation
Hours worked
Full-time equivalent

For example when annual leave is based on length of service, 21 days for service less than or equal to 5 years, 30 days for service over 5
years, create a derived factor.

If you cannot define the required criteria as a derived factor create a user-defined criteria. For example Pilgrimage leave will only apply to
those workers whose Religion is Islam, and Religion is not included as one of the types of derived factor.

Navigate to Plan Configuration work area in Benefits Administration

Select Manage User-Defined Criteria task from task list
Create a new user-defined criteria using Create icon at top of search results table
Enter a Name for the criteria
Enter a Description for the criteria, if required
Enter the Short Code for the criteria

Create Absence Plans

Absence Plans determine how entitlements are calculated; the timeframes used in the calculations; the actual parameters of the
entitlements; the relationship to payroll and other such functions.
The following types of Absence Plan are available:
Accrual - Accrual is the entitlement time that is earned by the employee on some periodic basis. An accrual may not mean that
the specific time may be available for the employee to use. Accrual simply implies that entitlement time is given under predefined
conditions at continuous points of time during the life of the plan.

Qualification - A Qualification Plan is a form of Absence Plan in which the employees entitlement to time off is not earned on a
period basis but is granted to them. Non-accrued plans are typically used for entitlements other than vacation (e.g. sickness,
maternity, family leave, jury duty, military service).

No Entitlement A Plan which has neither Accruals nor Entitlements defined. Commonly this type of plans is used to track Loss
of Pay or Unpaid Absences.
Once defined, an Absence Plan can be associated to one or more Absence Types.
See Implementing Absence Management: Absence Plans
In Saudi Arabia plans need to be created to support the following absence types:
Annual leave
Sick leave
Maternity leave
Paternity leave
Marriage leave
Pilgrimage leave
Bereavement leave
Examination leave
Unpaid leave

Please note that not all attributes are applicable for each type of absence plan.

payroll, linking the element and attaching the rate definition.

Create Absence Types

Broadly speaking, Absence Type controls the description of the absence (example: Holiday, Vacation, Sickness Leave) and can be
further refined by using Absence Reasons. Absence Type also controls what type of information is available to include within self-service
and administrative transactions.

Absence Types will tie the actual transaction of scheduling and recording absences to the plans that process the absence for payment
and balance maintenance.

Patterns provide high level control of how the application collects date information and how certain data is displayed.

The UI patterns available are:

Generic absence
Childbirth or Placement
Illness or Injury
