Create an Absence Reason

Absence When an employee or worker is absent from work. This can be for a variety of reasons. Reasons do not affect Holiday or Sickness balances and are used solely as a reporting tool.

To create an Absence Reason:

1. Go to System Tools > Lookup Tables > Absence > Absence Reason.

2. Enter the Absence Reason into blank field at the top of the page.

3. Select Add.

You can only delete an Absence Reason if there are no absence records associated to it.

Deactivate an Absence Reason

To remove an Absence Reason from the list of options available when entering or requesting an absence:

1. Go to System Tools > Lookup Tables > Absence > Absence Reason.

2. Next to the Absence Reason you want to deactivate, select the green tick.

3. The green tick should now change to grey, showing that you have successfully deactivated the Absence Reason.

The deactivated Absence Reason still displays on the historical records for reporting purposes.
