In OracleFusion HCM, an "absence type" represents a type of absence that an employee may take, such as vacation, sick leave, or personal time off. Typically, an absence type is associated with an absence plan, which defines the rules and parameters for that type of absence (e.g. how much time off an employee is allowed to take, how it is accrued, and how it is approved).
However, it is possible to create an absence type without a plan in certain scenarios. Here are a few examples:
1. One-time or ad hoc absences: In some cases, an organization may want to track employee absences for a specific event or purpose, such as a conference or training session. In this scenario, it may not make sense to associate the absence type with a formal absence plan, since the absence is not a regular occurrence. Instead, the absence type can be created without a plan and tracked separately.
2. Unplanned or emergency absences: Sometimes, employees may need to take time off unexpectedly due to illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances. In this case, it may not be practical to associate the absence type with a formal absence plan, since the employee's absence is unpredictable. Instead, the absence type can be created without a plan and tracked separately.
3. Non-work-related absences: Occasionally, employees may need to take time off for personal reasons that are not related to work, such as bereavement or family care. In this scenario, it may not make sense to associate the absence type with a formal absence plan, since the absence is not related to work. Instead, the absence type can be created without a plan and tracked separately.
In each of these scenarios, creating an absence type without a plan allows organizations to track and manage employee absences in a flexible and customizable way, without being tied to a formal absence policy or plan. However, it is essential to note that creating absence types without plans could potentially result in inconsistent tracking or approvals, so organizations should carefully consider whether this approach is appropriate for their specific needs.
