You use the Absence Detail window to record absence details. You can also use it to enter further information relating to an employee's holiday absences. This information is required for payroll processing.

   To enter further sickness absence information:

1. Click in the Further Information field to display the Additional Absence Information window.

2. Select the parent absence. When you select the parent absence date, you link the current absence that you record to a previous absence. This information is useful for processing IJSS, legal and conventional guaranteed income. You need not enter the parent absence if you are recording a new absence.

   Note: Any sickness absence that occurs within 48 hours of a previous one is treated as an extension of the previous sickness absence. You can record the current absence, as child absence if the difference between the previous sickness absence end date and current sickness start date is not more than 2 days.

3. Select Yes to enable subrogation. This means that the social security benefit payments from the social service office will be made through the employer. Select No, if the payment is made directly to the employee (the employee has to authorize the employer to receive the payment).

4. Select the medical certificate type for the sickness absence you are recording. These details are used while printing the Absence Report (FR).

   Note: Selecting Final enables you to select the final certificate conclusion.

5. Select the final certificate conclusion.

6. Select the work incident reference if any that caused the sickness absence.

7. Enter the date after which the employee is not eligible for social security benefits (IJSS) as a result of not satisfying the administrative conditions. The social security office notifies this date. This information helps in identifying whether the employee is eligible for social security benefits or not.

8. Select Yes to pay IJSS benefits. This information helps in estimating IJSS payment for sickness processing. This enables you enter values for working hours. If you select 'No', sickness processing does not occur during the current payroll run till an element entry indicating IJSS payment received from CPAM is made. If left blank, it defaults to 'No' in the processing.

   Note: If the employee has already had a sickness absence where IJSS Estimate is set to 'No', you cannot enter another absence with IJSS Estimate set to 'Yes' until you have received notification of the IJSS Payment for the first absence and the corresponding entry of FR_SICKNESS_CPAM_INFO has been processed.

9. The social contributions paid over the last six and twelve calendar months are populated on saving the record from payroll results. (If the employee has less than 6 (or 12) months seniority, the contributions are estimated for the whole period based upon current contributions; however if the employee joins in the period when the sick leave occurs, the amount of contribution is not estimated). You can override the figures populated by the system. These amounts will be used in the processing to assess employee's entitlement to IJSS.

10. The working hours over the last 3 calendar months or the last 12 calendar months are populated based on the FR_ACTUAL_HOURS. You can override the figures populated by the system and provide the values.

    Note: Values in the SMID contributions and working hours are only valid if you do not provide a Parent Absence and if you select Yes as Pay IJSS estimate. You may choose to enter the values or Oracle HRMS automatically populates the values when you save the absences.

11. Save your work.
