Hi,
I've got an employee set up working all hours of the month. Then this employee puts through a Request for a few days, marked as Absence (inc. Vacation) - (there is no Absence button on their timesheet for some reason).
This request gets authorized, however it appears nowhere on the employees timesheet and doesn't get deducted from the Worked time figure or Regular Time figure.
I've recalculated the employee - no change.
I have Absence, Holiday and accrual policies set up, all standard full-time stuff - but where does this Absence (inc. Vacation) go to?
Thanks,
Will
How to get absence counted
Requests are just that, requests. It is the responsibility of the authorizing supervisor/administrator of the request to actually carry out the action of the request. In this case, when they authorize the request they need to enter the absence onto the employees timesheet.
Absence time never deducts from worked time or regular time. There is no way to deduct worked/regular time, it was either worked, or it wasn't. Absence time simply adds to the absence time total. TimeTrex also allows both worked time and absence time on the same day. If you want to reduce the worked time of an employee, you must reduce the time that they were punched in.This request gets authorized, however it appears nowhere on the employees timesheet and doesn't get deducted from the Worked time figure or Regular Time figure.
So the requests are separate from anything else and you have to manually enter them in. That's a bit error-prone isn't it? Can't it convert the request into a reality (something that OrangeHRM does), showing all the options that you get when entering an Absence from the Timesheet.
Absence time not deduced from Regular time: what if the employee has a regular schedule, with all the punch ins and outs adding up into worked time - the Absence should remove that day's punches and thereby reduce the regular time figure shouldn't it? Is the only way to book holiday involve removing scheduled time and adding absence? For a 2 week holiday that would take some time.
