# Request absences.

`GET /employee_absence/fetch`

This method allows you to fetch a structured list of data that includes various
absence records, such as absence dates, types, employee details, and other identifiers.

Absences within geoCapture are utilized across several aspects of the application, such as resource management.
An absence may be for a full day, half day or a specific duration. An absence always has a specific reason, such
as vacation, illness, or school. Absence categories can be added or modified in geoCapture. Please be aware that
absences have the potential to impact the time account of employees.
