Who can add absences?
Managers and service owners can add absences on behalf of employees if the employee cannot do so themselves.
How to add an absence
You can add an absence in two ways:
From the dashboard:
Go to Dashboard > Team time off or Company time off > View.
Filter by employee.
Select Add vacation or absence > Absence.
From the employee management area:
Go to Dashboard > Employees > Manage > View > Time off > Add vacation or absence > Absence.
Steps to add an absence:
Choose the absence type and subtype.
Specify whether the absence will be recorded in days or hours.
Select the relevant date range.
For ongoing absences (for example, sickness or injury):
Mark the absence as ongoing if there is no known end date.
Once the employee returns to work, add an end date by:
Going to Dashboard > Employees > Manage > View > Time off and absences.
Change the filter from pending to all statuses.
Click Actions > Update on the relevant absence.
Untick ongoing and enter the end date.
To add new absence types:
Go to Dashboard > Employees > Absence types > Add.
