How to Submit a Compensatory Off Grant Request | Workwisely

Compensatory Off Grant Request

The Comp Off Grant Request without Attendance Data feature enables employees to earn compensatory off even when biometric or attendance records are not available for the work day. Instead of depending on system-tracked presence, the employee can manually submit the details of the extra work performed.
