About the Employee Absence Monitor

The Employee Absence Monitor screen lets you see a calendar of employee absences for a defined date range.

If your agency has performance management policies, you can use the Employee Absence Monitor screen to see if employees are close to requiring performance management activities. For example, checking to see how many absences an employee has had in the past 180 days.

The current date in the To Date column is shown in bold italics format to represent open-ended absences.

Dates marked with $ indicate employee pay days. Pay days are defined based on the OPS > Workforce Management > Employee Absence Monitor > Absence Patterns > Days After Pay Ending Date Until Pay Date, OPS > Timekeeping > Weekly Processing Date, and OPS > Timekeeping > Bi-Weekly Processing Date properties.

You can't create or edit absences in the Employee Absence Monitor screen.
