Specifying absence hours using the Timesheet form

Supervisors can specify the absence hours for an employee directly on the Timesheet form.

  1. Access the Time Entry Modal form from the employee timesheet for the day of absence.
    Note: You can only create the absence record for a day from the Timesheet form.
  2. Specify the code in the Absence Code field.
  3. Select the type of absence in the Absence Type field. Possible values:
    • Full Day: The shift time for the absence is defaulted from the start time and end time and the duration is defaulted based on the value specified in the Full Day Parameter setting.
    • Half Day: The start time for the absence is defaulted from the shift start and end time and the duration is defaulted as half of the value specified in the Full Day Parameter setting.
    • Partial Day: The start time for the absence is defaulted from the start time of the shift. You can specify a value in the duration field. The end time is updated to the start time plus the duration.
    Note: 
    • You can modify the value in the Start Time field for creating a half or partial absence record for the shift that started after the scheduled start time.
    • For Overnight shifts the Adjusted Start and End Date fields must be modified to ensure that the correct Transaction Date of the start or end of the absence record is displayed.
  4. Click Submit. The planned absence is displayed in the Timesheet.
