You can use the Absence Cut Off feature to run payroll validation without automatically including absences from PeopleXD Workforce Management. This gives you more control over your payroll figures, and you can decide when to include PeopleXD Workforce Management absences in your payroll run.
📌 Note: This only affects absences you record in PeopleXD Workforce Management, not absences you enter directly in PeopleXD Payroll.
⚠️ Important: Before you can use this feature, you need the payroll-absence-validation feature flag in your UAT and live environments. To request this, please contact our support team via the Access Digital Assistant.

PeopleXD Workforce Management absence status
After enabling the feature, you can monitor and control PeopleXD Workforce Management absence inclusion from the Payroll Dashboard. The Mode column displays a WFM ABSENCE indicator showing the current status for each pay group.
Green: Means absences were included in the last validation run. If you run validation from the Process Payroll screen, absences are included.
Red: Means absences weren't included in the last validation run. If you run validation from the Process Payroll screen, absences aren't included.
📌 Note: At the start of each payroll period, the default setting includes absences in validation runs.
