A sequence is a chain of codes that changes across consecutive days of the same absence. Example: sick days 1 to 3 use one code, days 4 and onwards use another. Most organizations don't need this. Skip it if your payroll provider doesn't ask for it.
Open System management > Salary code sequences.
Click New sequence. Set:
- Name. For your reference.
- Kind. What the sequence applies to (hours, absence category, day type).
Then add steps. Each step is one phase of the sequence:
- Size in days for this phase.
- Code to use during the phase.
- Position in file (Trio only).
Steps run in order. Phase 1 covers days 1 through its size, phase 2 covers the next chunk, and so on.
Click Save.
To attach a sequence to a salary code group row, open the row's Advanced dialog and pick the sequence from the dropdown.
Worked example: Israeli sick leave
Israeli sick-leave law: day 1 has no pay, days 2 to 3 are half pay, day 4 onwards is full pay. Suppose your payroll system uses different codes for each phase:
- No pay: code 850
- Half pay: code 851
- Full pay: code 852
Create a sequence with Kind = Absence category and three steps:
| Order | Name | Size (days) | Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | No pay | 1 | 850 |
| 2 | Half pay | 2 | 851 |
| 3 | Full pay | 9999 | 852 |
A large size on the last step (9999) effectively covers everything from day 4 onwards.
Attach this sequence to the Sick leave row in your default salary code group.
An employee with 7 sick days that month produces three rows in the file: code 850 quantity 1, code 851 quantity 2, code 852 quantity 4. If they took only 2 sick days, two rows: code 850 quantity 1 and code 851 quantity 1. Step 3 never kicks in.
