Excused Absences

The Excused Absences tab of the Event Policy form is used to define the absence events that are considered excused absences when viewed on the Time Card Review form.

You can configure Time Off, Sick, Vacation, Holiday, No Show, Late Arrival, Early Departure, and Outside Gap events as excused absences. If you do not define these events as Excused Absences, they will appear in the Unexcused Absences column in Time Card Review.

Note that a Holiday Excused Absence, if that is the person’s only exception, will not cause the person to display in Time Card Review when Show Only Exceptions is checked.
