Absence Management

Question

Hi Folks,
Please help me out with implementing this requirement.
Absence for the Purpose of medicalTreatments
Employees undergoing a series of medical treatments, either requiring hospital stay or ambulatory, including days of rest involved may be absent form work for each series but no more than 4 series of treatment a year as follows:
Workers working 5 days a week – 16 days.
Employees working 6 days a week – 20 days

Answer 1

What Legislation are you implementing this under?
What about this as a potential solution:
1) Use a separate Absence Type and Absence Element for 'Medical Treatment'
2) In the Element's Input Value Definition for the Days/Hours taken, including a Fast Formula of type Element Input Validation
3) In this Fast Formula, have a callout to a custom Fast Formula Function that counts the absences of this type in the last year and errors accordingly
That should prevent employees requesting absences that exceed the given entitlement.
If this is an SSHR request that has approval, you could have the situation whereby an employee requests several medical treatments in one go. If that's the case, they won't be submitted to the base table until approved so your custom function (in 3 above) might want to sum absences in the hr_api_transactions* tables as well (otherwise they could error on approval).
