What this checks

  • Name the six absence components
  • State the setup sequence
  • Explain the unit-of-measure rule
  • Diagnose a missing entitlement

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. Match each absence component to what it actually decides. Components: absence type, absence category, absence pattern, absence plan, absence reason, absence certification.

Name the six absence components · targets: Reading every component as part of one chain, and in particular reading the category or the reason as a parent of the type.

2. Put the four documented Absence Management setup steps in the order they are performed.

State the setup sequence · targets: Starting with the absence type because it is the object a worker can see, and therefore treating the third step as the first.

  1. 1.
  2. 2.
  3. 3.
  4. 4.
3. An absence plan measures in hours and the absence type it must be associated with measures in days. What is the documented position?

Explain the unit-of-measure rule · targets: Assuming the plan overrides the type, or that the mismatch is resolved automatically.

4. Workers are booking an absence type and the absences appear on the calendar, but no entitlement and no accrual movement is ever produced. What is the first thing to check?

Diagnose a missing entitlement · targets: Assuming the payroll run or the balance calculation is at fault, because the absence exists and looks complete.
