Overview

When an employee reports an absence, you can view the note for the absence or find coverage for the shift. You can also process absences from your Android or iOS device.

Considerations

You must have supervisor, manager, or admin access privileges in order to process absences.

You can respond to absences in three locations:

• From the dashboard under Attendance Notices
• From the Absence Page
• From the Scheduler

• Absence tracking can be used alongside the shift coverage options in the Scheduling settings.
  • Note: When the start time of a shift has already passed, the absence can be reported, but the shift coverage options “Get the shift covered” will no longer appear.
