This activity is used to register absence requests for the employee. When the absence record is created, the employee's identification can either be entered manually or by using a swipe card depending on the setup defined for the Abs Request button.
Note: This function is not available when the Time Clock is offline.
If the relevant button is set to card driven in the Time Clock configuration, you are only required to click the button and swipe your card. Your employee ID and company ID will immediately display in the text panel on the Time Clock and the dialog will open for you to enter other details.
In order to perform this activity, the relevant Time Clock buttons should be configured in the Time Clock Type Details and Time Clock Type Detail Items pages.
As a result of this activity, the absence request will be registered in the Absence/Absences section.
