How to: Manage Employee Absence
To manage an employee's absence, you must record the absence in the Absence Registration window. It can then be viewed in different ways for analysis and reporting needs.
You can view employee absence in two different windows:
- The Absence Registration window, where you register all employee absences with a line for each absence.
- The Employee Absences window, where the absences for one employee only is shown. This is the information that you entered in the Absence Registration window, filtered by the particular employee.
To obtain meaningful statistics, you should always use the same unit of measure (hour or day) when registering employee absences.
