Use absence types to record various absences, such as holidays and sick leave.
For privacy reasons, only admin users and supervisors can view the detailed information of an absence (name, description). Other users will see the absence as out of office/not available information.
Existing absence types can be managed under Settings > Work time, travel expense & product registries > Absence types.
You can add new types and edit existing ones according to your needs. To add a new absence type, click Add absence type and provide a descriptive name for it. When flextime calculation is enabled, choose whether the absence type affects flextime calculation or not (Preserves flextime). The Preserves flextime option should be set to Yes for almost all absence types, as it keeps the user's flextime unchanged during their absence.
To disable or completely remove an absence type, hover over it and the options will appear at the end of the row.
Unpaid leave refers to time when the user is away from work and does not receive a salary for this period. Examples of unpaid leave can include extra holidays or unpaid sick leave. Since unpaid leave affects salary, it is treated as paid leave in Severa.
If you need to report different types of unpaid leave, create separate absence types for each. Remember to mark the Preserves flextime option.
If you want to report the usage of flextime, you can create an absence type for it. When employees record entries for this absence type, you can report them, for example, in the Activities report. The Preserves flextime option should not be selected in these cases, as the entry is intended to reduce the user's flextime.
