When creating a new WFM Pay Code, it’s recommended to copy the configuration of an existing, similar Pay Code. This helps ensure consistent setup and reduces the chance of errors.
Default Configuration
When your system is initially set up, it usually includes a set of default Pay Codes with standard configurations. These serve as a baseline for each Pay Code type, which you can further customise to meet your organisation's needs.
Standard Configuration for an Absence Pay Code
The table below outlines the recommended configuration for an Absence Pay Code (manager/admin entry):
Tab | Parameter | Setting / Comment |
Summary | Absence | Enabled |
| Requires Reason | Optional |
| Reason Group | Optional |
| Requires Narrative | Optional |
| HR Only | Optional |
Leave Request Settings | Display on Employee My Leave Detail Workspace App | Optional |
Absence Settings | Leave/Absence Type: | Select the appropriate type(s). |
| Allow Absence Details | Enabled |
| Maintain via Absence Detail Only | Enabled |
| Return to Work Interview | Optional |
Next Steps
Once the Pay Code is configured, test it by entering a sample absence to ensure it behaves as expected.
If you need to create additional absence Pay Codes, repeat this process using the same standard structure.
