How to register an absence
Recording employee absences in Pontotel is essential for keeping timesheets organized and ensuring absences are correctly recorded. The process is quick, prevents incorrect entries such as missed absences, and can be done directly through the employee's profile.
Step-by-step guide to registering an absence
- In the navigation menu of the__Gestão__ website, click on Registrations, and then select the Employees.
- Locate the employee whose absence needs to be recorded. Click on the name of the employee whose absence you wish to record. In the menu that opens, select the "absence" option.

- ** **On the new screen, click "Add leave".

- Fill in the fields:

- Select a journey: Choose a previously created journey without any work from the list.
Caso não tenha uma jornada com o motivo ou nome que deseja, é necessário criá-la antes de lançar o afastamento. Veja neste artigo como cadastrar uma jornada sem trabalho.
- Start date of leave: Enter the start date that the leave should appear on the employee's payslip.
- Leave end date: If desired, enter the end date of the leave. If the field is left blank, the leave will be recorded on the employee's timesheets for an indefinite period. It is possible, at any time, to access and edit a previously entered leave using the same path, filling in the end date field as needed.

Properly managing absences ensures safety for both the company and the employee, keeping work schedules always up-to-date.
