### Time off essentials

## What's time off work?

Time off is a period when an employee is absent from work.

### There are two types of employee absence:

- **Excused absence:** Time off requests approved by the employer, employee's supervisor, or department manager without loss of pay. This term also includes vacation days if an employee obtained the employer's approval.
- **Unexcused absence:** Taking time off work while ignoring procedures included in the company's leave policies, hence without the employer's permission. This term also refers to unauthorized tardiness.

### What is paid time off?

Paid time off means **earning wages despite being absent from work**.

Not all time off requests qualify for receiving paid time off. State and federal laws in the US still don't provide official regulations for paid holidays, vacation time, or sick days that would guarantee employees paid time off. Employers may offer PTO in the employment contract details, but the number of days often varies by profession, industry, or the goodwill of the employers themselves.

### Paid employee time off usually includes:

- **Sick time:** Used when ill or injured.
- **Vacation time:** Taking a break from work to rest.
- **Parental leave:** Time off used for maternity leave, paternity leave, or adoption.
- **Military leave:** Leave for active duty and training.
- **Public & floating holidays**: Time off during holidays or days off used at any point in the year.
- **Jury duty:** Time away when an employee gets summoned to serve jury duty.
- **Personal time:** It's offered to let the employee handle personal matters that don't fall under vacation days or sick leave, like scheduled doctor appointments or attending school events.

### Why should a business use PTO tracking software?

Even the most ordinary time tracking or PTO tracking software is an indispensable tool for managers to identify, reduce, and prevent absenteeism practices. A PTO tracker is less prone to human error since it reduces the need for manual time tracking methods, such as submitting paper requests. Using one system to request and track PTO, leaves, and absences helps execute custom PTO policies.

### How does TimeCamp manage employee time off?

By implementing TimeCamp time tracking software, your company also gains an easy-to-use time off tracker. Attendance is a separate report-like view where managers and employees can see real time updates about their regular work hours and time off within a selected time range.

**The attendance module of our time off tracker allows to:**

- **Change a day type:** Report regular working and non-working days, different leave types, remote work, holidays, and business trips.
- **Submit and approve/reject leave requests:** Changing the day type to vacation or special leave (counts as personal days) equals sending time off requests.
- **See leave balance:** The attendance report clearly shows the time off registered per employee in a given year (divided by types of days, e.g., remote work, free days, etc.).

### Attendace reports

Attendance reports in TimeCamp differ slightly depending on the selected data input:

- **An Attendance report based on Timesheets** shows the average time tracked on each date within the selected date range, the total time between the first and last time entries of the day.
- **An Attendance report based on Computer Activity** shows active computer usage per day, hours of turning the computer on and off, and total time between.
