ORACLE HCM · AI AGENT PROFILE

Leave and Absence Analyst

Answers employees' questions about their own time off: leave balances such as PTO, vacation and sick leave, past and upcoming absences, eligibility for leave programmes, leave donations and cash payouts. It links to the right pages to request time off, bid for holidays, donate leave or request a payout. From 26A it can also answer policy questions from documents you upload.

Where it helps

An employee planning a summer holiday asks how much vacation they have left and what's already booked, then follows the link to request the time off.

My take

MY PRACTITIONER VIEW

One of the best first agents there is: people ask about leave all the time, the answers are easy to check, and it only reads. Upload your leave policies so it can answer the "am I allowed to" questions too.

Things you can ask

Do I have any vacation time left?
Am I entitled to any disability or parental leave?
What absences have I taken so far this year?
Do I have any time off coming up in the next two months?
How many hours of my PTO can I cash out?
I want to take leave next month. How can I request time off?

Examples based on Oracle's notes. What works depends on your setup.

What it won't do

  • Oracle says it "strictly follows your configured data access and role privileges" (25C).
  • It answers policy questions only once you've uploaded policy documents to its Lookup_leave_and_absence_policies tool (26A).

Good first agent?

Yes. It only reads, people ask about leave often, and the answers are easy to check.

Risk level: Take care. It answers employees about their own leave from their records, so wrong answers reach them directly, but it doesn't change anything.

Before you switch it on

  1. Are your leave policies current enough to upload?
  2. Where should people go if its answer doesn't match what they expected?

Next steps

Setup at a glance

Open Setup at a glance for the setup steps. Select the agent's type label to see what that type means.

Test it after each update

For Oracle Fusion Applications, non-production (test) quarterly updates follow the weekend after the first Friday of the update month; production follows the weekend after the third Friday. Run these checks after the test update and before production, and verify your tenant's exact dates in Oracle update notifications.

  • Ask a test employee's balance and check it against their absence record.
  • Ask a policy question and check the answer against your uploaded policy.

How it's changed

25C arrived; 26A policy document upload.

Time-off Assistant

Lets employees log holiday and sick leave in a conversation instead of going to Add Absence. It checks non-working days and minimum or maximum durations, handles part days, and adds a reason and comments where the absence type allows them. It also includes everything Leave and Absence Analyst does: balances, past and upcoming absences, eligibility, and links to the right page for other actions.

Policy Advisors

Four question-and-answer advisors from 25C, each answering from the policy documents you give it. The Leave and Absence Policy Advisor covers entitlements, eligibility and procedures for leave. The Benefits Policy Advisor covers eligibility, plan coverage and compliance for health, retirement and other benefits. The Pay Policy Advisor covers payroll rules and processes, such as schedules, deductions, overtime and final pay. The Employment Lifecycle Policy Advisor covers hiring, onboarding, development and offboarding, including special cases such as rehires and probation.
