Reasons for Absence
Use company agreed categories to ensure records are easily understood. Distinguish between verified information and entries still awaiting explanation.
Absence and Leave Management Application
Manage employee leave and absences, including reasons, dates, and approval statuses, for attendance verification. Sigma HRIS and Forte HRIS help HR link leave requests with daily attendance records.
Recording Employee Leave and Reasons for Absence
An employee may have approval to miss work, arrive late or leave early. Record the reason, date and approval so attendance information reflects what happened. If a clock in record is missing, also check whether the employee forgot to clock in or the device data has not arrived.
Leave Dates and Duration
Specify whether the leave covers a full day or specific time slots. These details assist HR in accurately reviewing the events.
Supporting Documents and Leave Details
Determine the required information based on company needs and policies. Access to documents should be restricted to relevant parties.
Approval Status and Leave Summary
Ensure HR is aware of verification results so that summaries use the latest approved information.
Match Leave Requests with Attendance Records
For instance, an employee might have permission to arrive late, a fact already known to their supervisor. HR needs to view this information alongside clock in records so that the two are not treated as separate, unrelated incidents.
Define the types of leave, request examples, and approval workflows used by the company. Our team helps tailor leave tracking to HR's specific needs. The impact on payroll is determined by company policy and the verified leave status.
Employee Leave
Record employee leave requests and approvals so that HR is aware of the approved absence schedule.
Attendance Corrections
Use the attendance correction process to review erroneous or incomplete records before updating the attendance summary.
Record Why an Employee Is Absent Before Finalizing Attendance
Absences can stem from different reasons and require different follow up actions. Approved leave, sick leave with pending details, and unexplained absences should not be treated as the same type of event. Recording the type, date, and review status helps HR understand the situation before compiling summaries. Clear information also enables supervisors to organize workload distribution when team members are absent.
An employee may tell a supervisor about an absence, while HR only hears about it after preparing the summary. Agree on how these details reach HR and who confirms them. Use clear request categories so employees know which one to choose and what information to provide. The application should help the team see both the reason for an absence and whether it has been reviewed, rather than leaving the explanation in separate messages.
Some situations need follow up information. An employee may report an absence first and provide supporting documents later. Define how this is recorded and who checks the remaining details. During the demo, compare an approved request with one still awaiting information. Keeping those statuses clear helps HR avoid treating an unresolved record as a confirmed absence, while supervisors can plan work using the information already available.
Confirm Absence Details Before Preparing Attendance Reports
For example, an employee might submit a leave request via their supervisor, but the record has not yet been forwarded to HR. The team needs to reconcile this information to ensure attendance reports do not present incorrect conclusions. When discussing leave and absence applications, define the documents or confirmations required for each scenario. The impact on payroll is determined by applicable policies and regulations, not merely by the label on the attendance record.
Leave requests with incomplete details must be distinguished from fully approved requests. This distinction helps HR avoid jumping to conclusions when reviewing summaries. Use common company scenarios during the demo, such as leave reported via a supervisor or supporting documents submitted at a later time. Based on these examples, determine what information needs to be recorded and who can provide confirmation, ensuring the follow up process is clear to users.

Absence and Leave Requests FAQs
Does a blank attendance record mean the employee is absent?
Not necessarily. The employee might have been granted leave, forgotten to clock in, or the data might not yet have been transmitted from the machine. HR needs to cross reference this information before finalizing the attendance status.

How do I complete absence details?
Check the schedule, attendance records, requests, and supporting documents before finalizing the status.
Does an absence automatically result in a salary deduction?
Not necessarily. HR must first verify the reason for the absence. The impact on salary depends on the verification results and applicable policies.
