Use the Element Entries window to provide collective agreement details to process sickness benefits. Oracle Payroll has seeded the FR_SICK_BENEFIT element to calculate the sickness benefit. The details are needed to determine the Net or Gross collective agreement benefit. Oracle Payroll calculates the actual sickness benefit from the information you enter on this element.
