Hi all,

I am trying to add half day as an absence. My aim is from 27/10/2025 to 31/10/2025 in total 3.5 days annual leave. 28/10/2025 is half day and 29/10/2025 is public holiday.

So first of all I defined a new day type as HALF-HOL which has 3.75 hours working.

 


Then I add the date 28/10/2025 as half day to my substitute schedule. After that, I also match the substitute and my main regular cycle schedule.
​​​​​​


However, when I register the absence from 27/10/2025 to 31/10/2025, it ends up with 4 days but my aim is 3.5 days. It process well with the whole day holiday but not the half day. What am I missing? 

 


Thank you,

    ​@Gulcan 

    We have somewhat similar requirements where we have employees that only work half days certain days of the week.

    System also takes 1 day absence, instead of 0.5 days.

    Did you find a solution already? I have an open IFS case.

    Thanks

    Hi ​@dominikdurrer,

    Unfortunately not. ☹️
    Because as I understand the system only accept one Duration Unit, whether it can be a whole day or hour. Can’t be mixed.
    In my cases I solve this as using the option below:
    Also, if half day is within the absence period(e.g. half day is: 28/01 but my absence period from 26/01 to 30/01), I add the absences separately as two different records.
    That’s all I’m doing right know. But if you have any idea or any solution, I will be pleased to hear it. 😊
