Basics of Time Management

Time Management is about tracking the times when employees are at work (attendance management) and when they aren’t
(absence management).

Attendance Management
Attendances are times when an employee acts on behalf of the employer, independent of where the work takes place physically.
This means that not only working time that is performed on site of the employer is considered an attendance. Even if the
employee is physically absent from office, for example, in case of home office or business travel, the employee still acts on
behalf of the employer. Therefore, they’re considered attendances from time management perspective.

Absence Management
Absences are times when, according to the work schedule, an employee would be supposed to act on behalf of the employer, but
they don’t, for example, in case of vacation, sick leave, or unauthorized leave.

SAP SuccessFactors provides capabilities for recording absences, time off work, and attendances, that is, active working time.
Absences are managed in Time Off, while attendances are managed in Time Sheet and SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking.

 Caution
You must not use Time Off to record attendances and vice versa. For example, do not use Time Off to record Home Office.
Home Office is an attendance time type because employees working from home are still working on behalf of their employer,
even though they are physically absent from the office. Time Off is not designed for daily time recordings. If we notice
exceptionally high absence data volume due to attendances being recorded in Time Off, we reserve the right to take further
steps. Please refer to Basics of Time Management for a more detailed description of what distinguishes an attendance from
an absence.
