Self-check: fast formulas for absence rules

Four questions on the formula types behind absence type conversion and validation, the name-linked accrual event formula, the compile-versus-execution error distinction, and what the elective disbursement formula returns.

What this checks

  • Name the formula types for absence type conversion and validation
  • Explain the accrual event formula linking rule
  • Distinguish a compilation error from an execution error
  • Map plan rule areas to formula types and know the elective disbursement returns

Every incorrect option names the misconception it represents. A wrong answer tells you which model of the process you reached for, which is the part that is worth correcting.

1. A sickness absence type measures duration in calendar days, but the policy wants it recorded in work hours via the schedule. Which formula type serves this rule?

Name the formula types for absence type conversion and validation · targets: Assuming any formula can serve any rule, or that the validation formula can do the conversion.

2. You need a Global Absence Accrual Event formula so a mid-year grade change prorates the annual accrual. The formula compiles cleanly. How does the plan get linked to it?

Explain the accrual event formula linking rule · targets: Attaching the formula from a formula list, or naming it after the rule — either way it compiles but is never linked.

3. A formula shows "No Data Found" when a worker’s absence is processed, but it compiled with no errors last week. This is a compilation problem that needs the formula recompiled.

Distinguish a compilation error from an execution error · targets: Treating a clean compile as proof the formula works at runtime, and re-compiling when the data is the problem.

4. An elective disbursement should pay 75% when the balance is between two thresholds and be blocked below a minimum. What must the formula return?

Map plan rule areas to formula types and know the elective disbursement returns · targets: Expecting the formula to return a boolean allow/deny, or to change the balance directly.
