The Absence tab is displayed by default when the user profile is accessed. The user's absences as well as the balance of all available absence types are displayed. Absences and absence adjustments can be created from here. Any prorata adjustments will be displayed for the current year, with the following years showing the full absence allowances.

Clicking on an absence in the Absences list opens the absence details. From here the absence can be accepted, cancelled, rejected or deleted depending on status and user permissions.
