Concept: Absence and Time Off Terminology on the Worker Profile

In some regions in which you operate, the term absence is more meaningful than time off and leave of absence. Example, when you translate absence into other languages.

The

Self-Service: Worklets: Absence

domain provides access to the

Absence

worklet. To provide a consistent user experience, Workday changes the terminology on absence-related tasks, reports, and worklets that you can access on the worker profile on desktop and mobile, based on whether you've access to the

Self-Service: Worklets: Absence

domain. This domain access controls the terminology that you see when viewing your own records and other worker's records. You can navigate other worker profiles in the context that's familiar to you as the logged-in user. Workday renames:

The
Time Off for Worker Profile
group to
Absence for Worker Profile
.
Time Off Balance
on the
Time Off
worker profile group to
Absence Balance
.
Time Off and Leave Requests
on the
Time Off
worker profile group to
Absence Requests
.
The
Time Off
worklet on the mobile Home page to
Absence
so that it's consistent with desktop.

When users don't have access to the

Self-Service: Worklets: Absence

domain worklet, Workday displays the

Time Off

worklet on their Home page and its related

Time Off

profile and report labels.

By default, when you enable Absence for mobile, users have access to the

Time Off

worklet on mobile devices.
