## Steps

1. Choose the period, and if needed the site, team or absence type.
2. Read the figures at the top: days of absence, absenteeism rate compared with the same period last year, paid leave taken, unjustified absences, balances to watch.
3. Choose the view: **Balances** (earned, taken, remaining per employee), **By type** or **Calendar**.
4. **Columns** picks the columns; **Export Excel** downloads the report.

## Good to know

- Only approved absences are counted.
- Balances are computed on the day shown at the top ([calculation details](https://weplanify.io/docs/absences.soldes-de-conges?lang=en)).
- The **To watch** column flags an unusual balance (negative, too high).
