Example: Exclude Full Day Absences from Seniority Calculations (FRA)

The example illustrates how to exclude absences from the adjusted seniority calculation.
In Global Modern Services, workers do not continue to accrue seniority during unpaid time off. Julie, the payroll administrator for Global Modern Services, wants to exclude absences for unpaid leave from the adjusted seniority calculation, however she only wants to exclude full days off.
The adjusted seniority calculation is specific to payroll calculations, and is different from the seniority calculation and length of service dates shown on Human Capital Management reports.

    When determining full days of absences, Workday only considers absences linked to the
    FRA Days
    related calculation.
When Fabienne, a worker at Global Modern Services, requests 2 separate half days and 1 full day of
Unpaid Time Off
during her first month at Global Modern Services, Workday excludes 1 day from the adjusted seniority calculation.
On the

tab of Fabienne's results, verify the
