Request an Absence

Use these steps to create an absence request.

To request an absence:

1. Navigate to where MyPlan is embedded.
2. Right-click on the date.
3. Select Request Leave from the shortcut menu.
4. On the New Absence dialog box, select Absence Task from the drop-down list for the Absence Type field.
5. Select the number of hours for the Hours field.
6. Click the Create Absence button to save the absence.
   Note: If there are multiple absences to choose from, you can filter them by first choosing an absence type from the drop-down list for the Absence Type field (for example, illness, vacation, time in lieu, and so on).

   Warning: If your company has decided to use Maconomy’s own Absence Management functionality, you should not do it from MyPlan. In this case, you should simply set up a People Planner Scheduled Task to import the absences from Maconomy to People Planner.
