What is Absences?

Absences, in the context of human resources and education, refer to periods when an individual is away from their expected duties or presence. This commonly refers to time off from work (e.g., vacation, sick leave, personal leave) or school (e.g., truancy, excused absences). Absence management involves tracking, reporting, and potentially approving or managing these periods of absence, ensuring compliance with policies and regulations while minimizing disruption to operations or learning.
