In Reflect, an absence day can count as a fraction of a day. This rule affects durations and the indicators that use them.
Reflect can group several close absences into one period. The rule applies to each absence interval included in that period.
When absence dates are reliable:
For an absence interval recorded on a single date, Reflect keeps the amount derived from your source software data.
For an absence interval recorded across several dates, each day between the first and last counts as one day. The first and last days count according to the absence duration on each day, rounded to the nearest hour and expressed as a fraction of a 24-hour day. For example, if the first day includes six hours of absence, it counts as 0.25 day.
The end day is calculated this way only when the end date is recorded and falls within the calculation range. An absence with no end date is counted up to today, without a partial end day.
If dates are not considered reliable, Reflect uses the amount derived from your software data for each day of the absence interval. Your Reflect representative can help you check whether this applies to your source.
An absence duration may include weekends. Sums of absence days and the absenteeism rate use Monday to Friday. To understand the difference, see calendar days and working days.
If a figure differs from your HR software, compare the dates, times and amounts supplied, as well as the period and counting method used. If the difference remains, contact your Reflect representative with the person, dates and indicator concerned.
