FAQ: Absence Occurrences

What happens to absence occurrences when corrections for specific absence types and dates result in net absences equal to zero?
Absence occurrences only include the net absence taken on specific days. When you correct an absence for a specific day to zero, Workday no longer records an absence for that day.
Example: An employee requests 1 day or 8 hours of paid time off, but later corrects the time entry by -8 hours to set the net time off to zero.
If there are no absences on either side of that date, and the net result for the absence is zero after the correction, the

report doesn't include an entry for the worker for that date.
If the date that nets to zero is:
  • At either side of an absence occurrence, Workday reduces the absence occurrence by 1 day and adjusts the start and end dates accordingly.
  • In the middle of an absence occurrence, Workday splits the absence occurrence into 2 separate occurrences, 1 on each side of the day that nets to zero.
