Absence Balances

Employers may allow employees to reach a negative absence balance.

When this feature is enabled, an employee can register absence that exceeds their available absence allowance for the period, provided that it does not surpass the negative absence balance limit as well.

Negative balance limits are specified in the Absence Administration workspace. Balances must be specified using a negative value, and are indicated in the Days time unit. If you are using the Hours time unit, the system automatically converts the balance to hours, according to the user’s absence hours per day.

Users can view an overview of booked absence using color-coded calendar views (such as yearly view and team view). Absence of certain types, such as illness, can be hidden from public view, while still indicating that the employee is absent. Managers can also see a detailed history of changes to each employee’s allowance, including when days have been booked, granted, or rejected, and for what reason.
