Absence Hours Tab of the Employee Card Dialog Box

On this tab, view your or another employee's absence accrual hours, such as hours earned and taken and the current balances for absence accruals such as sick leave and vacation.

The Absence Hours tab is included on the Employee Card dialog box when you open the dialog box from Timesheet, Expense Report, and Approval Center (for timesheet and expense report approvals). If no absence accruals are specified to show on timesheets (the Show on Timesheets option is not selected for any absence accruals on the Absence Accrual form in Settings > Accounting > Absence Accrual), the Absence Hours tab does not display on the Employee Card dialog box.

To view other employee's absence accrual information, you must have appropriate security access to view their timesheets.

Grid Rows

Each row in the grid on this tab contains the employee's absence accrual hours that are entered on the Accounting tab in the Employees hub, but only if an absence accrual has been selected to show on timesheets.

Grid Columns

The absence accrual values in this grid are always the most up-to-date values, regardless of timesheet period that you have open.

Field Description
Absence Accrual This field displays the name of the absence accrual, such as vacation or sick leave.
Starting Balance This field displays the total hours that the employee has accrued but has not taken at the beginning of the current year.
Current Year Earned This field displays the total number of hours that the employee has earned year-to-date.
