This option allows you to insert absences for each employee in the punch
group.
Select
the radio-button next to the group that you would like to insert punches
for.
Click
on the [ABSENCES] icon at the bottom of the "Mass Create Punch Groups"
screen. The
"Create Mass Absences" screen opens.
Enter
the Start Date and End
Date. An absence will be created for each day in this range, based
on your Effective Days selection.
There
are two methods of specifying the number of Hours:
Select
the first field if you would like to give employees an hours total for
this day. For example, 8 hours of Vacation time.
Select the Pay
to Schedule option if you would
like hours to be added to the employee's Time Card based on the schedules
that they are assigned to in the system.
Select
the absence Type from the drop-down
menu.
If
you would like to assign this absence to a specific Department,
make the desired selection from the drop-down menu. Click
on the 
icon to select the department from a map.
The
Effective Days option allows you
to select on which days of the week absences will be created.
Example: If you would like to create absences for a 2-week period,
but on weekdays only, the desired
period would be specified in the Start
Date and End Date fields.
A check
mark would then be placed in the boxes for Monday through Friday, leaving
the Sunday and Saturday boxes un-checked.
The
Employees section of the screen
allows you to modify the employees that are assigned to this group. The
Used section displays the employees
that are already assigned. Add or remove employees from the group as desired.
Note: The changes you make to the employees assigned to this
group do not effect the group itself. You are only modifying which employees
will be included in this mass absence entry.
Click
on the [PROCESS] icon to process the mass absence entry.
