You can easily change the absence type in Strobbo. This can be useful if, for example, your employee has requested the wrong type of absence.

You proceed as follows:

  • Go to “Planning”

  • Click on “ Absences and availabilities”

  • You are now taken to the calendar or list view. You can change the type on both pages.

    • In the calendar overview, click on the three dots behind the absence you want to change.

    • In the list overview, click on the pencil behind the absence you want to change.

The screen of the absence will open. You will notice that you cannot change any field except the absence type.

  • Select the correct type and click edit.

  • The absence now has the new absence type.

Good to know (management > setttings > absence types):

  • If “balance management” is checked for the old absence type, we are going to increase the balance back by the number of hours that were requested

  • If “show in payroll” is checked for the old absence type, we will delete that day in the payroll overview

  • If “balance management” is checked for the new absence type, we are going to decrease the balance with the number of hours needed

  • If “show in payroll” is checked for the new absence type, we are going to add that day in the payroll overview

In the absences balance overview you can recognize an update of an absence as follows:
