Deviating number of waiting days for absence

Introduction

Within MSR and the integration with MSF, waiting days for absence are used to determine whether and when salary is paid. These waiting days are normally calculated automatically in MSF based on configured rules. In most situations this works correctly. However, due to recent Equal Pay developments, there is a need to be able to override this automatic calculation from MSR in specific cases.

With this new functionality, it becomes possible to define a deviating number of waiting days per absence record and send this information to MSF. This provides more control from MSR over the processing of waiting days, while retaining the standard MSF logic based on the sickness allowance overview when no deviation is required.

Please note: this functionality is available exclusively via the OData interface.

Who is this feature relevant for?

This feature is relevant for:

• Customers who use MSR in combination with MSF (Combi), use OData, and manage absence in MSR.

• Customers for whom the number of waiting days occasionally deviates from the settings in the sickness allowance overview in MSF.

Feature explanation

A new field has been added to the Absence object in MSR: Deviating number of waiting days.

This field is a restricted picklist with the following values:

• <empty>
• 0
• 1
• 2

If the field is left empty, the standard waiting days calculation in MSF remains applicable. As soon as a value is selected, the automatic calculation in MSF is not applied and the specified number of waiting days is used instead:

• 0: no waiting days are applied

• 1: only the first waiting day is applied

• 2: both the first and second waiting day are applied.

The field is visible on the absence record and includes help text explaining that it is intended to deviate from the standard waiting days calculation in MSF.

Synchronization and Interface Management

The field Deviating number of waiting days is included by default in the OData synchronization of Absence from MSR to MSF. If you want to continue managing waiting days entirely in MSF, the field can be excluded via MSR–MSF Interface Management. For this purpose, the entire Absence object has been added to Interface Management.
