Absence Management

Absence from work is a basic employee right enshrined in labor laws and subject to the rules therein. If employee absences are not managed correctly, they can cause operational and economic damage to the organization as well as risks rising from non-compliance with the law.
Proper planning and management of employee absences allows supervisors and department heads to maintain a balance between employee requests and eligibility for absence and the operational needs of the organization.
Absence management  is part of the employee time and attendance management. Advanced attendance systems help manage all types of absences. Self-service systems enable online communication between employees and supervisors about issues related to the planned absence requests and their approval/rejection by the supervisor.
