Notes:
EMPLOYEE ABSENCE DURATION is the number of calendar days of absence of an EMPLOYEE ABSENCE, calculated as:

(EMPLOYEE ABSENCE END DATE - EMPLOYEE ABSENCE START DATE) + 1

Where the there is no recorded EMPLOYEE ABSENCE END DATE i.e. the period of absence has not yet ended or the EMPLOYEE ABSENCE END DATE is after the REPORTING PERIOD END DATE then the REPORTING PERIOD END DATE should be used instead of the EMPLOYEE ABSENCE END DATE.

The format of a date, see DATE, is ccmm-dd-yy and for calculation purposes the difference between the end and start dates should be converted into the number of calendar days to calculate the result.
