Time Off Tasks and Processes > Add Attendance Plans

Add Attendance Plans

This process allows you to quickly and easily add attendance plans to one or more employees. You can add a plan to all employees within a particular employer or to just one employee.

If the plan you are adding is an anniversary plan, the start date for all the employees to whom you are adding the plan defaults to their adjusted seniority date (by which seniority levels are calculated). If, after you perform the Add Attendance Plans process, you want to change an employee's start date to a date other than their adjusted seniority date, delete the plan from the employee, then add the plan to the employee separately.

To Add an Attendance Plan

  1. Select Time Off > Processes > Add Attendance Plans. Fill in the appropriate information on the two tabs on this page: Employee Criteria and Attendance Criteria.
  2. On the Employee Criteria tab, select the employer from the Employer drop-down list. If there is only one employer, that employer is selected as the default employer.

    Tip: To select all employees within the employer, leave the remaining fields blank.

  3. Use the organization title drop-down lists to select specific organization levels.
  4. Use the Changed Since field to select all employees whose records have changed since a specified date.
  5. Determine whether you want to assign an attendance plan for those employees who have a status of Active or LOA. Select each box that applies.
  6. To assign an attendance plan for specific employees, use the buttons provided to select the employees to include. Otherwise, leave this box blank.
  7. You might choose to enter additional selection criteria in the Custom Criteria field. From the drop-down list, select the Criteria Table, the Criteria Builder or the FoxPro Expression Builder.
  8. You can choose to include either Exempt or Nonexempt employees. Leave this field blank to select both Exempt and Nonexempt.
  9. On the Attendance Criteria tab, click the All Employee Types box to include employees assigned any employee type code. To include only employees with a specific employee type code, deselect the All Employee Types box and select an employee type code from the specific Employee Type drop-down list.
  10. After you make all of your selections, you can save them as default settings so Time Off can use them the next time you close the accrual year. Click the Save as Default button.
  11. To use the previously saved default settings, click Restore Defaults.
  12. Click OK after you make all of your selections. The New Attendance Plan dialog box opens.
  13. Select an attendance plan from the list.Time Off automatically provides the ID, Type, and Description.
  14. Click OK. Time Off asks for an effective date to assign the attendance plan. The default is today’s date.
  15. Click OK to continue the process. Time Off asks if you want to assign the plan to all employees who match your selection criteria.
  16. Click Yes to continue. As the process continues, a status bar shows its progress. Time Off displays the employees’ names as the system enrolls them in the attendance plan.
  17. When the process is complete, each selected employee’s Attendance Summary page displays the new attendance plan.
