Absence Concepts

This workspace enables the following processes:

• Creating and submitting a new absence request
• Creating and submitting allowance requests (such as requests for additional time-in-lieu)
• Viewing a period summary of the employee's own absences
• Viewing approved and rejected absence requests
• Viewing approved and rejected allowance requests

Note: For both absence and allowance requests, you can view all requests of all statuses (unsubmitted, submitted, approved, or rejected).

General Process

In general, you request absences by creating a request with the start and end dates, and type of absence (such as vacation). An absence approver is notified of such a request, and they can approve or reject the request, and give a reason.

You have a certain number of allowed absence days in a vacation period, and you can only request time that is available in a period.

Note: For complete Absence Management functionality information, including setup, refer to Maconomy Workspace Client documentation, including online help and Concepts Guide.
