The Holiday and Absence module provides a way to keep track of employee time off whether this be for holidays or other types of absence such as illness or appointments.
Absence policies are assigned to employees and create structure and limitations for what an employee can request. For example, within an absence policy you can determine how much leave an employee can take, and how many days they can carry over to the next leave year.
It is likely that your organisation will have several Absence Policies, particularly if your organisation employs individuals on a part time basis.
For guidance on adding absence policies, including configuration options available - refer to this guide.
