Understanding Absence Take Types in Brazil

Each absence take element is assigned an absence take type that describes the category of the absence. When reasons are defined for a take type, users can select a reason when entering an absence event. For example, multiple reasons are defined for the absence take type FTJ (Paid Absence / married absence), including Born Son, Married Absence, and many others.
