ENTERING CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RULES
Personnel Manager uses your Windows settings to determine how to display currencies.
Currency amounts are displayed according to the Currency Format settings in Windows.
You also need to select your local currency in Personnel Manager or define it if it is not
included in the currency list. In addition, you must have an entry for Euros, so that
Personnel Manager can calculate and display amounts in both local currency and Euros.

DEFINING ABSENCE ALLOWANCES
In Personnel Manager, absence allowances are based on employees‘ length of service
with the company, age, or neither of these criteria. Each employee can have their own set
of absence allowances, but using the Absence Allowance Wizard saves time by setting
default absence allowances. You can assign any of the absence allowances defined with
the Wizard to individual employees, to a group of employees, or to all employees. You can
also set the start date for each absence allowance on an individual, group, or global basis.
