Attendance Deduction Rules

Attendance Deduction Rules

Attendance Deduction Rules tell payroll how to convert absence counts or lateness into deduction units.

Fields

  • Rule Type - absence-count-based or late-minutes-based.
  • From Value - lower threshold.
  • To Value - upper threshold.
  • Deduction Rate - number of salary days or deduction units to apply.
  • Day of Week - optional day-specific rule.
  • Work Hours - work-hours context used by the rule.

Workflow

  1. Decide whether the company deducts by absence count or late time.
  2. Create rule bands that match company policy.
  3. Confirm HR Settings uses a compatible deduction method.

Example

You can create one rule band for one to two absences and another for three or more absences, or define late-minute ranges if the company penalizes lateness by time.
