Creating absence types

How do I create absence types?

In CleanManager, we distinguish between Absence and Absence hours. Absence hours are calculated on an hourly basis, while absence is totalled in days, e.g. how many holiday days, sick days, etc., an employee has within the payroll period.

When it comes to registering absence, you can use the existing absence types or create your own.  These absence types are used to plan your employees' absence in the calendar.

You can use the absence types to pay compensation for the absence, or use them as a tool to keep track of absence days.

INFO:

Absence types can be edited after you have created them.

If the absence type has not been used to register absence in the calendar, you can also delete it again.

We recommend that you create and customize your absence types so that they fit your needs in terms of registering absence and exporting data for your payroll system.

In this article, you will learn how to set up absence types:
