Question 1 : What is the use of donation plan and why do we need it?
Answer : Donation Plan is one of several absence plan types offered by Oracle Absence Management. This plan enables employees to donate some or all of their accrual plan balances to colleagues who may need them. This feature is particularly useful when a worker exhausts their accrual balance due to prolonged illness or other reasons. Instead of losing wages, other colleagues can come forward and donate their accrual balance to the employee in need.
Donation Plan is a great way to foster a sense of community within the workplace and promote teamwork. It not only benefits the employee in need, but also builds a culture of support and generosity among colleagues. Additionally, this feature helps employers retain their workforce by providing a safety net for employees facing unforeseen circumstances that may affect their ability to work.
Overall, the Donation Plan is an essential feature of Oracle Absence Management that promotes employee well-being and enhances the overall productivity of the organization.
Question 2 : What should be the Unit of measure for a donation plan?
Answer :When configuring the Donation Absence Plan, you will have the option to select all available types of Unit of Measure (UOM) from the list of values. However, it is important to note that only two types of UOM are supported for Donation Plans: Hours and Days.
The UOM that should be selected when configuring the donation plan primarily depends on the accrual plan on which the Donation Plan is dependent. For instance, if employees are donating their balance from an accrual plan that uses Days as its UOM, then the Donation Plan should also use Days as its UOM.
Question 3 : How would employee donate balance and how would they use the same?
Answer : To donate the balance employees can navigate to Me » Time and Absences » Donations
And to use the donated balance employees can schedule absence against the absence type where the donation plan is linked with the absence type.
Question 4 : Is there a need to create absence type for a donation plan?
Answer : Usually we configure an absence type to link any absence plan so that employees can use the balance, however, do not need to configure specific absence type just for the donation plan. Donation plan can be linked to any other existing absence plan and through which employees can use the donated balance.
Question 5 : Can you configure approval for donation plan so that is someone donates balance it goes through HR approval?
Answer : Yes an approval can be configured for donation plan using process name “Global Absence Donation Transaction” or BPM task “AbsencePlanBalanceDonationApproval”.
Question 6 : You configured a donation plan in your organization for workers to donate accrual plan balances to coworkers. But when a donation was initiated by one of the workers, the accrual plan could NOT identify the donation plan?
Answer : One possible reason could be that the unit of measure for the donation and accrual plans is different.
