Office visit requests

Staff on duty outside the office ask for an office visit. Once approved the days count as Official Visit in attendance, never as absent.

The idea

When someone is out of the office on duty, they are not absent. An office visit request records where they went and why, gets it approved, and then the days show as Official Visit on the attendance sheet.

Set up visit types

On Leave management setting, the Official visit tab holds the Visit type list (for example Client visit, Training). Add the types before anyone asks.

Ask for a visit

  1. Fill in the request
