Provider Classes
Each absence entitlement source must be linked to one of two available provider classes - Accrual or Personal. Each provider class can be defined using days or hours.
The following provider classes are available to link to entitlement sources:
Entitlement Source Provider | Reason for Use | Considerations |
---|---|---|
Accrual Daily | Use if an accrued entitlement scheme is required, and where absences are booked in days. | Provides less flexibility, as users must book absence in full days, or half days. |
Accrual Hourly | Use if an accrued entitlement scheme is required, and where absences are booked in hours. | Provides more flexibility, as users can book absence in hours. |
Personal Daily | Use if a simple fixed entitlement scheme is required, and where absences are booked in days. | Provides less flexibility, as users must book absence in full days, or half days. |
Personal Hourly | Use if a simple entitlement scheme is required, and where absences are booked in hours. | Provides more flexibility, as users can book absence in hours. |
Mixed Providers | Use if a more complex scheme is required, which combines any of the above providers to handle different annual personal holiday scheme requirements. | Requires more management to upkeep multiple entitlements, since an absence category must be linked to the same entitlement provider type - this requires multiple categories of the same type to link to all the different entitlement sources. |
