Key Features and Enhancements in Absence Management 25A

The Oracle Fusion Cloud Absence Management 25A update introduces several enhancements to improve flexibility and efficiency in managing employee absences. Here are some key features:

• Ability to Forfeit Plan Balances: Organizations can now configure absence plans to automatically forfeit balances under specific conditions, such as termination or transfer.

• Pay Rate Date Configuration for Accrual Plans:  This feature allows organizations to determine whether absences consuming carryover amounts should be paid using the worker’s current rate or their rate at the time of accrual.

• Support for Unlimited Concurrent Absences: Employees can now have multiple overlapping absences without restrictions, improving flexibility in absence management.

• Self-Service Qualified Entitlement Display: Employees and managers can view qualified entitlements directly within the Redwood Absence Balance page, reducing the need for manual reports.

• Improved Accrual Processing for Retro Absences: Enhancements have been made to improve processing time when retroactive absences are updated or created.

• Flexible Work Patterns for Absence Entry: When employees without a published work schedule enter absence dates, the system checks for flexible work patterns and defaults start and end times accordingly.

• New Integration Architecture: Absence data is now better integrated with time and labor management, improving reporting and reprocessing.

• Compensatory Time Pay Rate Configuration: Organizations can now choose whether compensatory time-off pay should be calculated based on the earned time-off date or the current pay rate

• Forfeiture of Accrual Balances: Even positive balances can be forfeited automatically, which is useful in cases like reverse termination.

• Donation Plans: Employees can donate some or all of their accrued absence balances to colleagues in need, supporting workplace social responsibility.

These updates enhance flexibility and efficiency in absence management.
