How to deal with an unauthorized absence

Additional Information

An unauthorized absence occurs when an employee is scheduled to work but does not punch at all. The system will generate the amount of unauthorized absence hours equal to what they were supposed to work that day. Technically you can leave this as is, however the best practice is to change the unauthorized absence to a proper absence code, which results in more accurate records and reports.
