Absences

Absences like sick leave, vacation, personal leave (PTO), parental leave, bereavement leave and jury duty are important to track for compliance, productivity and payroll accuracy.

Generally, Schedules are adjusted for shifts in the future and TimeSheets are adjusted for past or present shifts. Absences added to a schedule appear on the timesheet, however absences added to a timesheet do not appear on the schedule. Future Absences can also be added to Scheduled Shifts, Recurring Shifts or Recurring Templates. If Schedules are not being utilized, an Absence can be added to an employee timesheet for the same day or future absences.
