Enter An Absence Request For An Employee By HR

By /

In Oracle Fusion, HR administrators can enter an absence request on behalf of an employee, either due to the employee’s request, unplanned leaves, or other administrative needs. This can be done via the Absence Management module, allowing the HR professional to manage leave requests accurately and efficiently.

Here’s how to enter an absence request for an employee as an HR in Oracle Fusion:

Steps to Enter an Absence Request for an Employee by HR:

1. Log in to Oracle Fusion:

  • Use your Oracle Fusion credentials to log in.
  • Ensure you have the necessary permissions, such as the HR Specialist or Absence Administrator role.

2. Navigate to Manage Absence Records:

  • From the Home page, click on the Navigator icon (usually located in the top-left corner).
  • Go to My Client Groups > Absences.
  • Alternatively, use the search bar at the top of the page to search for Manage Absence Records.

3. Search for the Employee:

  • In the Manage Absence Records screen, search for the employee by entering their name, employee ID, or other identifying information.
  • Once the employee is found, click on their name to open their absence records.

4. Initiate an Absence Request:

  • In the employee’s Absence Records section, click on Add Absence to initiate a new absence request for the employee.
  • This will open a form where you can fill in the details of the absence request.

5. Select the Absence Plan:

  • From the Absence Type dropdown menu, select the appropriate absence plan for the employee (e.g., Vacation, Sick Leave, Family Leave, etc.).
  • This list will contain all the absence plans that the employee is eligible for.

6. Enter the Absence Details:

  • Fill in the following fields:
    • Start Date: The date when the absence will begin.
    • End Date: The date when the absence will end.
    • Duration: The system may automatically calculate the duration based on the start and end dates, but you can manually adjust this if necessary.
    • Absence Reason: Select the reason for the absence (e.g., personal, medical, etc.). This is important for record-keeping and auditing purposes.

7. Review the Available Balance:

  • Before submitting the request, the system will show you the employee’s current leave balance for the selected absence type. Ensure that the employee has enough balance for the requested leave.
  • If the balance is insufficient, you may need to adjust the request (e.g., reduce the duration) or handle it according to company policy (e.g., unpaid leave or leave borrowing).

8. Submit the Absence Request:

  • After entering all the details, click Submit to save the absence request.
  • Depending on your organization’s settings, the absence may require approval from the employee’s manager or another authority before it is finalized.

9. Verify the Absence Request:

  • Once submitted, review the absence request in the employee’s Absence Records to ensure it was entered correctly.
  • You can check the status of the request (e.g., submitted, approved, pending approval).

10. Approval Workflow (If Applicable):

  • If an approval workflow is in place, the absence request will be sent to the employee’s manager or another designated approver for review.
  • You can monitor the status of the approval in the Absence Records section.

Additional Considerations:

  • Multiple Absences: If the employee has multiple absence requests (e.g., consecutive vacations or different types of leave), you can repeat the process for each absence plan.
  • Backdated or Future-Dated Absences: If you are entering a backdated or future-dated absence, ensure the dates are correct to avoid any issues with accruals or payroll processing.
  • Balance Adjustments: If the employee’s leave balance is insufficient for the requested absence, you may need to make a manual balance adjustment, grant unpaid leave, or consult company policies for other options (e.g., advance leave).

Best Practices:

  • Review Accrual Balances: Always check the employee’s current and projected leave balances before entering the absence to ensure they have enough leave.
  • Communicate with Managers: If the absence requires manager approval, communicate the request to avoid delays in the approval process.
  • Record Keeping: Keep detailed records of absence requests, especially for leave types such as medical or family leave, for compliance and auditing purposes.

By following these steps, you can efficiently enter absence requests on behalf of employees in Oracle Fusion, ensuring that the process is smooth and compliant with organizational policies.
