Need help with scheduled absences and timesheets

Post by quepasa »

I'm not sure if I am using TimeTrex correctly for scheduled absences. If I schedule someone to be absent for a day, and pick an absence policy that is linked to an accrual policy, what should happen that day?

Should timetrex automatically apply the hours in the schedule to the accrual account in the absence policy and indicate this on the timesheet? If so, when should this happen (start of day, end of day, end of pay period, etc)? Or do we have to manually add an absence punch into the timesheet, and re-enter the information from the schedule?

In TimeTrex v2.0 or older the scheduled absences are completely disconnected from the timesheet, so if you schedule an absence, you will also need to enter the same absence into the employees TimeSheet manually.

As of TimeTrex v2.1 (to be released within 1-2weeks) entering an absence on the schedule immediately carries over to the TimeSheet exactly as you described.
