Who can add absences?
Line Managers and Service Owners can add absences on behalf of employees if the employee is unable to do so themselves.
How to Add an Absence
You can add an absence in two ways:
Via the Dashboard:
Go to Review requests on the dashboard.
Filter by employee.
Select Add holiday or absence > Absence.
Via the Employee Management Area:
Go to Employees/Workers > Manage > Employee view > Holidays and absences > Add holiday or absence.
Steps to add an absence:
Choose the absence type and sub-type.
Specify whether the absence will be recorded in days or hours.
Select the relevant date range.
For ongoing absences (e.g., 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 Employees/Workers > Manage > View > Holidays 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 Employees/Workers > Absence type > Add.
