How To Record a Partial Absence / Link to a Shift

You can create a basic partial absence by following these steps [link to other article].

Optionally, you can link to a shift and split the time left working into the absence. This is useful when an employee comes in and has to leave early for a sickness or the manager says they can go home because of a work shortage.

To do this, while the shift is active

      2. Link the absenccomo cambiar e to the WHOLE shift – the absence will be the full shift length
      3. Link the absence to PART of the shift – the absence will be the length you pick (ex. If they worked 2hrs of a 7hr shift, you can allocate 5hrs to the absence and keep 2hrs for the time card)
