Entering absence hours on planned holiday

[Former Member]

I need to allow absence hours to be entered on a planned holiday. We enter time via CATS. When I enter absence hours on a planned holiday, or on a non-planned work day, the hours entered is changed to 0. I need the system to accept the absence hours entered on a non-planned work day or holiday. When I enter attendance hours on a non-planned work day or holiday the system accepts the hours as entered.

Does the absence counting rules control this? I have the Condition for planned hours, planned hours = 0 and planned hours > 0 both checked for the absence in question.

Hi, did you ever get an answer on this? I have an employee who needs to enter 2 hours of compensatory leave on a holiday, and SAP is calculating it to 12 hours (full calendar day) of comp time leave. Any idea why this could be?

How are you maintaining the work schedules for these employees for which you need to enter absence hours on a planned holiday?

[Former Member]

the people who this will apply to will have 4 day/10 hour per day work schedules.

Hi David,

If an employee is working on a declared Holiday, then there are possibilities of the employee working hours being recorded and either given comp-off or get paid for the no. of hours worked. But i dont understand why an employee's absence hours has to be recorded on a declared holiday?, do you have any calculations linked to it?

Can you explain your requirement in detail?

The reason for the need to enter certain absences on a holiday is some hourly people work 4 day, 10 hour per day shifts. Payroll has decided that they will only pay 8 hours of holiday pay on a holiday so the hourly people will be short 2 hours for the week. Payroll will allow the employee to enter 2 hours of vacation time to make up the difference.

That is why a substitution work schedule is not the answer.

I think I solved my issue. On the 10 hr, 4 day a week work schedule the day type was set to 1, off/paid, for holiday class 1 (my holiday). This made the planned work time to be 0 and thus not allowing an entry of hours. I created a new selection rule for day types that sets the day type for holiday class 1 to be blank, which is work/paid. This makes the planned hours for the day to be 10 but still indicates that the public holiday class is 1 on the holiday. This allows me to enter absences hours on the holiday but in time evaluation the day is still set to be a holiday.

Hi Expert,

i have an issue with sunday.

Few of my employees work in shift timings and works even on sundays.

so in there case if sunday becomes a working day they should be allowed to take casual leave.

i have configured the system but not happening. If i configure for sunday this becomes available to all employees but i want to restrict it to only 03shift workers.

Please guide
