Timelogix allows you to track a few absences by default, such as Holiday, Personal, Sick and Vacation. You also have the option of creating custom absences under the Settings. To create custom absences, navigate to:
- Settings
- Absence Types
- Create Absence Type
When creating a custom absence type, the following window will appear:
- Absence Type Name
- Absence Type Description (Optional)
- Allow Negative hours: This option is available to allow the user to still request Paid Time Off, even if the employee's accrual balance is less than what they are requesting.
- Allow to accrue hours: Enable this option if your employees accrue PTO toward the absence type.
- Decimal places: Decimal format; How many decimal places are used for this type of absence. For example: Accrue 3.2 hours of said absence, versus 3.456 hours.
- Share bucket with: Share the accrual-hours bucket with another absence.
- Pay hours: Is this a paid absence type? If so, determine whether the absence is Excused or Unexcused and, if the hours:
- Count toward Overtime
or if you want to: - Pay worked hours as OT
- Rate Amount: By default it is 1.50 x the employee rate.
