Absence Compensations
Manually deduct days or hours from an employee's absence balance to record unused days that have been paid out or cancelled.
Absence compensations allow you to manually subtract days or hours from an employee's available absence balance — for example, when unused vacation days at the end of the year are paid out instead of taken, or when a contract ends and remaining days are settled.
To access this feature, go to the Calendar and click the Absence compensations button at the top right.
Creating a compensation
Click Create absence compensation and fill in the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Employee (required) | The employee whose absence balance will be reduced. |
| Absence type (required) | The absence type from which days or hours will be deducted. |
| Compensated amount (required) | The number of days or hours to subtract. The unit (days or hours) depends on how the absence type is configured. |
| Type (required) | The reason for the compensation: Retirement, Employment contract termination, or Other. |
| Year (required) | The year from which the balance will be deducted. |
| Paid | Check this if the unused days were paid out to the employee rather than taken as time off. |
| Notes | An optional description of the reason for the compensation. |
ℹ️
Compensations only subtract
Absence compensations can only reduce an employee's balance. To add days to a balance, use the employee's Absence Policy or the Hour Compensation feature.
