PayPerM allows each period absence for an employee to be record separately with a 'reason code' selected eg code indicating 'Sick back pain'. This absence history is kept and can been enquired upon and regular exception reports can be run to highlighted significant absences. The reason code can be added to or amended by the user.

Recording absence levels allows comparisons to be made of absence of each employee and checked against the absence policy Reports can be produced for each month and for each year.
