FAQ: Absence Integration
Read up on how Absence to Integration works in general
How can I enable absence synchronization between Huma and Visma.net Payroll?
Activate the 'Create absence in Visma.net Payroll when added in Huma' option in your integration settings. This enables the automatic synchronization of absence information from Huma to Visma.net Payroll, ensuring that data is consistently updated across both platforms.
How do I map absence types between Huma and Visma.net Payroll?
Start by reviewing all absence types listed in Huma. For each one, select the corresponding event code in Visma to ensure accurate synchronization. Exclude any Huma absence types that are not relevant or necessary for transfer to Visma. Proper mapping is crucial as it ensures that only pertinent data is shared, maintaining the integrity and relevance of absence records in both systems.
How are absences connected between Huma and Visma.net Payroll
Absences are connected based on the employee it regards, the start and end dates, and the type of absence. Ensure that calendar settings in Visma and Huma are aligned for correct calculation of days off and holidays.
Ensure "Calendar API" are activated (ON) on Huma App Application Permission.
See Necessary permissions for details.
Note -
If you have already set up the integration and only want to start using the absence feature, you need to wait for an hour before you can edit the integration settings towards absence in Huma. Remember to check the box for Calendar API.
What triggers the transfer of absences from Huma to Visma.net Payroll?
Once registered, with an end date, and approved in Huma, absences are automatically transferred to Visma.net Payroll and assigned to the corresponding absence types / event codes.
What happens to absences in Visma.net Payroll when changes occur in Huma?
Any updates or deletions made to an absence in Huma will result in corresponding changes or deletions in Visma.
How is absence time calculated in Visma.net Payroll?
Absence time is calculated based on Visma's working time settings. Absences with a full grade are registered as full days, while those with lower grades are adjusted accordingly.
What happens if an event code in Visma.net Payroll does not support grading?
If a Visma event code is incompatible with grading, Huma marks the absence as rejected, notifies relevant parties, and logs the error.
How is sick leave handled between Huma and Visma.net Payroll?
When 'sick leave' is created in Huma, it triggers the doctor certificate option in Visma to activate, with the certificate's start date aligning with the absence's start date in Huma.
Conversely, 'self-certification' (egenmelding) absences noted in Huma will not activate the doctor certificate option in Visma. Should there be a limit on the number of occurrences for the mapped event code, and the registered absence in Huma exceeds this limit, the absence will be rejected, log an error and notify relevant parties.
What occurs if an absence is deleted in Huma?
If an absence is deleted in Huma, it will also be removed from Visma to keep both systems synchronized.
Can absence types be modified within Visma.net Payroll?
Yes, you can modify absence types in Visma to fit different needs within your organization. Ensure these modifications are reflected in Huma Absence type settings for consistent data transfer.
Are absences without an end date transferred to Visma.net Payroll?
No - an absence needs to have an end date to be transferred to Visma.
Why are some absences rejected when they are registered in Huma?
Absences can be rejected for various reasons. Common causes include the user not having an active employment status at the time of the absence, being marked as inactive, or having an employment start date in the future. There might be limitations on the event code settings in Visma.
- Additionally, conflicts with existing absences already registered in Visma may lead to rejections.
- The employees also need to have been assigned the correct information under
"Employees" => "Personal Details" and "Position" (e.g., salary and work hours). - Remember to allocate the correct types of leave and balance under
"Calendar" => "Vacation Management" => "Vacation Calculations". - Employees also need to have a %>0 in "Part time factor" in their profile card in Visma.
For detailed explanations of specific errors, check the integration error log on Huma's integration page. This log provides in-depth descriptions of the issues that have occurred.
Why cant I register "Sick child" absence?
To register "Sick child" absence in Huma and sync it to Visma, you need to fill out "Employee management - Children and emergency contacts" in Visma.
Huma does not support sync for "Children-field" to Visma, so please fill out this field manually in Visma.
I have noted 'Notes' in the details for the absence. Will this be transferred to Visma as well?
Yes, if you leave a "note" in the details of the absence the notes will be shown when you accept the absence in Visma.
