FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find out more about our absence reporting
Absenteeism in the workplace refers to reocurring absences over a period of time. The causes of absenteeism are varied and are sometimes difficult to identify. And without robust absence tracking methods in place, it becomes more challenging to spot too.
Having a clear absence management policy, coupled with efficient absence tracking will provide more visibility and a better understanding of absenteeism in the workplace, empowering people managers to take the next steps in addressing the issue.
Find out more about the causes of absenteeism and how to reduce it here.
Absence reporting is important because it provides HR teams with an overall picture of how often absence is occurring in the workplace.
Absences can affect productivity and output, add extra strain on individuals or teams that are having to cover, and be an expensive cost to an organisation. Therefore knowing exactly how absence is impacting an organisation can help to empower HR and people managers to address any issues and provide additional employee support and ensure better resource planning.
An absence report provides an overview of absences that have occurred in the workplace. It may be a report on an individual employee, a team, a site, a department or an entire organisation.
Absence reporting provides details of the number of absences that have happened during a set time period and the reasons for those absences i.e. sickness and/or the type of sickness. An absence report might also include an absence rate which can be compared with the average absence rate in a particular industry or against the national average.
edays absence management software is different to other absence monitoring software providers because our system is purpose built to be as customisable as possible, allowing HR and people managers to use it in ways that suit their organisation’s unique requirements.
Our absence system supports part-time and full-time employees, and leave and absence can be recorded in either days or hours. We can handle leave carryover, overtime tracking, clocking in and out, and we enable organisations adhere to the EU Working Time Directive, among many other features.
We also cater to large and global organisations with several locations – be it in one country or multiple. edays absence management software users can be separated into groups, with different leave entitlements and rules set for each one, meaning you can manage employees in one country differently to another. This way, you can ensure you remain globally compliant according to varying regulations around the world.
This flexibility and configurability makes edays absence management software the leading choice for absence, leave and time management software.
