# Register Absence

When the employee needs to be out of office due to some personal or work-related reasons that are not a vacation, the employee is to request absence approval from his or her manager. Same as [vacation days](/v1/docs/request-vacation-1), the absences are requested from the **Employee** menu, **My Time and Attendance** > **My Absences**.

Follow these steps to register an absence request:

1. Select the **Employee** role and click **My Time & Attendance** > **My Absences**.
2. Click the **Register Absence** button and select **Register Absence Request** from the drop-down menu.
3. The form to fill is the same as for the [vacation requests](/v1/docs/request-vacation).

When the request is sent, the manager will see the request in the **Manager** menu under **My Team Attendance** > **Absences** and approve or reject it.

The HR person has access to all the absences and can manage them under **Time & Attendance** > **Absence Lists** > **Other Absences**.

To add a new absence record, click the **New item** button. To modify an existing request, click its title and then **Edit Item**.

By default, the absences are created as paid absences, but the HR person can change this by selecting the **Is Not Paid** check box.

Another way to register an absence is to use the **Register Other Absence** quick action in the **Time and Attendance** menu. ![](assets/images/TimeAttPics/img025.png)![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1672944847274.png)
