Create an Absence Request

Use these steps to create an absence request.

To create an absence request:

1. Navigate to Absence workspace > Absence Requests tab.
2. Click + New Absence Request.
3. If you are registering absence in days:
   1. In the First Day of Absence field, specify the first date of the absence period.
   2. If the date you specified is a half-day, select the ½ Day check box.
   3. In the Last Day of Absence field, specify the last day of the absence period.
   4. If the date you specified is a half-day, select the ½ Day check box.
4. If you are registering absence in hours (only available if you are running Maconomy 2.4 GA or later in the backend):
   1. In the First Day of Absence field, specify the first date of the absence period.
   2. In the Hours field, specify the number of hours of absence on the first day.
      Note: If the number of hours you enter is equivalent to a half-day, iAccess selects the ½ Day field automatically.
   3. In the Last Day of Absence field, specify the last date of the absence period.
   4. In the Hours field, specify the number of hours of absence on the last day.
      Note: If the number of hours you enter is equivalent to a half-day, iAccess selects the ½ Day field automatically.
5. In the Absence Type field, select an absence type from the drop-down list. This is a required field.
6. Enter additional remarks if needed.
7. Click Save. iAccess automatically fills out the Duration and Working Time fields, and displays your absence request as a line in the Absence Requests tab. You can then edit, submit, or delete your absence request.
