This tab allows the addition of a new reason for absence that will be available for selection in the candidates' file.

 

 

A bank of hours may or may not be associated with a reason for absence. For example, an absence reason of type "At my expense" will not require a bank of hours.

 

A reason for absence with an hour bank must be linked to a payroll code. For example, an absence reason of type "Sickness" could be linked to a pay code "Sickness". This way, if a candidate declares an absence using the reason "Sickness", these hours can be paid via the pay code "Sickness".

 

Ensure that the pay and billing code to which the new reason for absence will be linked has been added to the list of available codes.

 

In the example below, we will add a new reason for absence, "Sickness".
