Feature Level Uptake Definitions
Uptake Option
New feature or enhancement to existing functionality
Is this something brand new to the module or an improvement to that which was available in previous releases?
Automatically available to users as part of upgrade
Will the feature automatically appear coming out of the upgrade or is effort required by the user to turn it on (in which case see
comments)?
Deploy after upgrade if desired
If you elect to make use of new functionality you will generally do so after you have completed the upgrade (in which case an “X”
appears in the column). If the column is blank then this feature will appear in Cloud and there is no decision-making involved.
Work/re-work (configuration, implementation , security ) required
An “X” appearing in this column means that user effort is required in any numbers of areas such as:
• Determining if this functionality is appropriate
• Revisiting decisions around configuration, security and user access, personalizations, reporting
• Effort in terms of loading data, testing, training, report re-write
Consider Hiding
These are features that you may want to delay revealing to your users because it may be appropriate for a future business event or
process or it may perhaps generate unnecessary questions and phone calls from your users.
Note: For such time entries, you can view the status of approval and transfer too.
• Compensatory Time
– Allow workers to earn compensatory time, also known as Time Off in Lieu (TOIL), in
exchange for monetary compensation. Workers can earn time off for excess hours
worked outside their regular work schedule, such as overtime or hours worked on a
holiday, and accumulate the hours into an absence plan in Absence Management. The
worker can then record absences that consume these hours when they take time off
in the future. Company policies for earning and using compensatory time can be
implemented using time calculation rules and absence plan setup options.
• Accrual Limit
– Control the amount a worker can accrue within a plan year by establishing an accrual
limit. If a limit is configured, the calculation of accruals will prevent the worker from
accruing more than the limit.
• New Attribute For Absence Real Time To Determine Block Leave Candidate
– The new attribute allows greater control by reporting on any worker taking an
uninterrupted leave period. The organization has the ability to define how long of a
block of leave to report on. (Two weeks or any other long period.)
– New attributes have been added to the Absence Real Time subject area to determine
whether the worker is an eligible block leave candidate. They include:
• Assignment Absences Details - Blocked Leave Candidate Code
• Assignment Absences Details - Blocked Leave Candidate
