Deleting Absences in the Employee Profile Screen

Employee absences can be deleted and employees reassigned when employees choose not to take a previously created absence.

To delete any employee absence, you must be granted the OPS > Employee Profile > Absences > Delete security permission.

To delete an employee absence type categorized as secured, you must be granted the OPS > Employee Profile > Absences > Delete Secured Absences security permission.

If you are trying to delete an absence for a day already posted in Timekeeping, you must be granted the OPS > Employee Profile > Absences > Delete Posted Days security permission.
  1. Open the Employee Profile screen and set the Context (F3).
  2. Select an employee and then Absences.
  3. In the list view, select the absence to delete.
  4. In the detail view, right-click and select Delete.
    A confirmation message appears.
  5. Select Yes.
    If the employee can be reassigned to work that was affected by the absence, the Conflicting Work Assignments dialog shows the work.
  6. Select Re-assign for each piece of work to reassign the employee to and select OK.
    If the work assignment now violates work assignment rules, the OPS Validation Messages dialog shows warning or error messages.
  7. Do one of the following:
    • To assign the work despite warning threshold violations, select Retry All and select OK.
    • To cancel the assignment, select OK.
    If the assignment violates error thresholds, you can't assign the work to the employee.
    If another employee is holding down the work on the absence days, and the system enforces relationships between absence and hold-downs, a message states the hold-down is no longer valid. Select Continue.
  8. If the deleted absence time was paid in advance, a warning message appears. Select OK.
