When you record an absence in SelectHR, you must assign it an absence type.
Absence types help the system understand how the time away should be categorised, reported, and, where relevant, whether it affects holiday entitlement.
To create a new absence type, follow these steps.
Click Absence, then click Lookups.
Click Absence, then click Absence Types.
Click New.
Enter a name, then choose an absence type group.
📌 Note: Holiday entitlement is only affected by absence types that are assigned to the Holiday absence type group.
Tick any options required for the absence type, then click Save.
