How are Absences Managed in MONITOR?
You may think that all absence should be recorded as the time when there is no attendance, and that you do not need recording procedures that record absence. However, that is not the case.
All absence is registered as a separate record, and recorded in the same was as attendance - with a start time and a finish time - but you also enter a code indicating the reason for the absence.
If the start time cannot be recorded in person, like when the employee is sick, you can use the procedure called Absence Reporting in order to register the time that the absence "started". The absence hours are only calculated when the employee clocks-in next time, or during a Period switch.
These settings are taken from the group settings.
