Self-check: the six absence plan types

Four questions on the closed list of plan types, the difference between a plan that accrues a balance and one that decides entitlement, the documented use of a no entitlement plan, and choosing the right type for a policy.

What this checks

  • Name the six plan types
  • Explain accrual against qualification
  • State the use of a no entitlement plan
  • Choose the plan type for a policy

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. Which set is the complete list of absence plan types created with the Absence Plans task?

Name the six plan types · targets: Assuming there is a separate type for each kind of leave, so that "sick leave plan" and "vacation plan" would be different types.

2. A policy gives twelve weeks of paid maternity leave to workers who meet a service condition, and pays nothing for the leave but pays a percentage of salary throughout it. Which plan type carries that policy?

Explain accrual against qualification · targets: Choosing an accrual plan because the policy involves "leave", and then accruing a balance the policy never promised.

3. A worker who is not eligible for the standard maternity qualification plan still needs the absence recorded and tracked. Which plan type is documented for this?

State the use of a no entitlement plan · targets: Reading the six plan types as a progression, so a no entitlement plan is seen as a lesser qualification plan rather than as its complement.

4. An employer pays time off in lieu of overtime for work outside the regular work schedule. Which plan type tracks it?

Choose the plan type for a policy · targets: Treating compensatory time as a variant of vacation accrual, and therefore as an accrual plan with a different label.
