If the absence code will be linked to a time balance, in order to automatically reduce that balance with the recorded absence if that code is selected, you indicate that in this field. The balances that you can choose from are Flex, Comp, Makeup time and Shift comp.
If the absence reason should not be linked to a balance, you indicate here whether the absence is Unpaid or Paid. If the code is linked to a balance, it will automatically be counted as paid.
Alternatives for the Type field.
Categorizing the absence codes as paid or unpaid is used to allow the Statistics procedure to show how much of all absence recording was paid/unpaid.
