The Time Off tab on the Attendance Policy form is used to configure how time off events will be posted by the ATTENDANCE service. A time off event can post to a person's timecard for events such as Jury Duty, Bereavement, Military Leave, Vacation, etc. These events are not based on a calendar, but upon time off requests created by employees or their supervisors. See Requesting and Approving Time Off for more information.
The ATTENDANCE service must include the ATTENDANCE_TIME_OFF task to post time-off events. See Service Instances for more information on the ATTENDANCE service and its tasks.

When this box is checked, a person’s approved time off requests will post.
Post On Signed
When this box is checked, the ATTENDANCE service will post the event on days that have already been signed (by an employee, supervisor, or both). If this box is not checked, the ATTENDANCE service will not post the event on signed days.
A split day in a 9-80 schedule may have only the first or second half of the day signed. The ATTENDANCE service will examine each half of the split day separately when it checks for signatures, and will post the event on the half that complies with the Post on Signed setting. For example, if Post on Signed is not checked, the ATTENDANCE service will post the event on the half that is not signed, but will not post the event on the half that is signed.
Ruleset Name
Identifies the Attendance ruleset that applies when ATTENDANCE service will post a time-off event. The ruleset you select will determine the conditions needed to post the event, which event to post, how many hours should be posted, and how many penalty points, if any, to post. For example, you may select a ruleset in which a person gets no points for the first five consecutive illness events, but starts accumulating one point for every sick day thereafter.
The Ruleset Name is optional. If you select a ruleset, these rules may override the Post on Signed setting for the Time Off policy.
