Settings Time Account, Absences, Holidays

Individual accounts are used to identify and sort the data generated based on work rules. In these accounts, you can, for example, track the duration of an employee’s absence and assign its reason, or categorize accumulated overtime.

1

For example:
Vacation, sick leave, doctor’s appointment, family care, night work, weekend work, …

You can configure 4 types of accounts depending on their intended purpose:

Balance:

a general type that can be positive or negative

Absence:

for tracking employees’ absences; always negative

Overtime:

for counting overtime

Reporting:

for reporting purposes — this account only provides information and monitors a specific fact. For example, who worked how much during the night work or weekend period, etc.

When creating accounts, carefully consider which facts you want to track for your employees so that no required account is missing later when configuring the rules.

Account List#

In the displayed list of time accounts, you can deactivate, delete, or view the history of any account.

When an account is deactivated, it remains functional for the employees and rules where it has already been used, but is no longer shown in the selection menu when configuring further rules.

Deleting accounts (not recommended) affects already-calculated attendance, which is then recalculated; some already-configured rules may also stop working.

You can customize the order in which the accounts are displayed.

Click Change Display Order.
