Time unit
The time unit is used to determine the unit with which wage type valuation is effected. The time units refer to the fields with the same name in infotype 2001, Absences. The values determined there can be counted once again. This depends on any whether splits have been formed, or whether a time has been entered.

Use

The time unit determines how the number field of a wage type should be calculated. If you also enter a day rule, you can override the values calculated by the system to suit your requirements.

Procedure
The following time units are available:

1. RT - accounting days
Absence days are determined using the table Rules for counting attendance/absence days and leave deduction. Please refer to the step Set rules for counting absence days in the Time Management implementation guide.
2. RH - accounting hours
The number of absence hours is determined using the table Rules for counting attendance/absence days and leave deduction. Please refer to the step Set rules for counting absence days in the Time Management implementation guide.
3. KT - calendar days
The number of absence days is determined using calendar days, which are calculated on the basis of the following formula:
end date for absence
- start date for absence
+ 1 day
4. AT - absence days
The number of absence days is determined on the basis of the employee's personal work schedule. Days are only taken into account if they do not have a daily work schedule class BLANK or 0 (work, no day off) and day type 0 (work, paid).
5. AH - absence hours
The number of absence hours is determined on the basis of the employee's personal work schedule. Days are only taken into account if they do not have a daily work schedule class that is BLANK or 0 (work, no day off) and day type 0 (work, paid).
Example
You have chosen the Absence days time unit. In the standard system this means that absence days occurring on a public holiday are not included in the valuation (public holidays have a higher value than absences). By assigning an appropriate day rule, you can override the original calculation of absence days, and include an absence that occurs on a public holiday in the absence day calculation. To do this, you define a day rule that is valid for all day types.
