3262282 - "Time for a Break" Engagement Card Appears on Latest HomePage even if Main Absence Time Type is Removed

Symptom

"Time for a Break" Engagement Card is appearing on the latest homepage, even though you have removed the main absence time type from the user Time Profile

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors, Employee Central, Time Off

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Latest Homepage is activated
  2. The card  "Time for a break?" appears as the conditions as per the guide were met for the user at the time of activation
  3. Navigate to the user's Time Profile from Manage Data > no "main absence time type" is assigned
  4. It is expected that if no main absence time type is defined on  the time profile, that the card does not appear

Cause

The "Time off Home Page Card Initial Load Job" has not been run 

Resolution

If no main absence time type is maintained on the time profile, and the "Time for a Break" card still appears for relevant user, you must follow the below steps (if you have no implementation partner, please reach out to support):

  1. Navigate to Provisioning -> Manage Scheduled Jobs -> Run the job "Time off Home Page Card Initial Load Job" as of today. 
  2. Once the job run is completed, the Time for a break card will be removed from the employee's homepage.

The engineering team are working on improving the behaviour here with the job scheduling, currently planned for 2305 release, but not yet confirmed.

This KBA will be updated once details are confirmed.
