Creating absence hour types

How do I create absence hour types?

If you want to register absence hours for an employee, you can use the existing absence hour types or create your own. These absence hour types are used to plan your employees' absence in minutes/hours in the calendar.

You can use the absence hour types to pay compensation for the absence, or use them as a tool to keep track of absence hours within a payroll period.

INFO:

Absence hour types can be edited after you have created them.

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

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