Display a custom message / note / alert / prompt for Certain Absence Reasons

The system allows the district to require a note for certain absence entries. Is it possible for a customized message to pop up for those entires? As an example, our district has specific language regarding the use of Family Leave (sporadic absences for a family member). Someone cannot take their uncle to the doctor using their sick leave unless they have POA; same for bereavement leave and who qualifies as immediate vs non-immediate. Asking "who passed away" is pretty insensitive, so having a canned message that says "please indicate relationship to individual" for both sick leave family and bereavement may be useful.

Hey there folks! Just wanted to let you know that you can now setup a custom message / alert to be displayed to employees and admins (if needed) when a particular absence reason is selected!
- Go to SETTINGS > ABSENCE REASONS > [choose your reason]
- Click on the EDIT button on the right.
- Scroll down, and you can enter the "custom message" to be displayed.
- You can also customize what the "button" says that employees can click. By default, it's set to "Acknowledge". But you can change that to "I agree", or "Done", etc.
- You can even choose if admins should ALSO see this message when using this reason for an employee!
Once you've finished, you can then start creating an absence for your chosen reason, and as soon as you select the reason, the message will display to the employee for them to acknowledge.

Ability to include contract language on absence reason
T

Specifically on Bereavement, I'd like to be able to provide a copy of the language from our contacts around who it can be used for. Without it, we need to review the employee's comment and follow-up with a question around how they are related to the employee. If we had the ability to include the language in the absence entry process, it might help the employee.

Add Absence Descriptions for Employee Viewing

We have various reasons that teachers may be absent. On the admin side, we can add a description for that absence. It would be great if this description would pop up on the employee side when they choose a specific reason for their absence. This may be a quick reminder as to how many bereavement days are available, how far in advance they have to as for personal days, where to submit sick time documentation, etc.

We need this to be done by RR! It makes so much sense to give out employees additional instructions on what they need to input! PLEASE!!!!!

Pop up notification for a reason code

We are looking for a way to have a pop up for our jury duty reason code. The pop up would indicate their directions for what to do after they serve the courts.

Description of the Type of Information Needed in Notes

Tammy Chapman
When a note is required for an absence reason, it would be helpful if we could tell the user what type of information we are looking for. We currently require notes for bereavement. The intent is to add the relationship of the person not just 'taking a bereavement day'.

Note after creating an absence with certain reasons
C
Cayla Holt
When an employee creates an absence under the "AWOL" reason category, or unpaid, we should be able to set up a message or pop up that notifies them this is unpaid leave. Typically, they are selecting an AWOL reason by mistake, as they tend to have a leave balance under LOCAL OR STATE leave. It would be nice if a message were to pop up notifying them this is unpaid, so they can double check their balance. We are having to go in daily and check this and change many many absence reasons for them.

There are certain absence reasons that require notes. We'd like to have an area to include exactly what is required for the specific absence reason.
