How to deduct an early departure from payroll?

From the published schedule:

  • Click on the relevant shift

  • Enter the actual worked hours

  • Create an absence on the same day

  • Choose an absence reason (justified or unjustified)

  • Indicate the time slot not worked

Example: Martin was scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. but leaves at 1 p.m.:

  • Enter 10 a.m.–1 p.m. as actual worked hours

  • Create an absence from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

A conflict alert may appear: it is informative and does not block the entry.
