Absence entry made in Element Entries causes taxation issues

Summary

Absence entry made in Element Entries causes taxation issues for our exempt colleagues.

Content

Absence was implemented in November of 2019 in 19D. In our business process our exempt colleagues do not log time, nor log absences to flow to payroll. Because Absences do not flow to payroll any adjustments need to be made to element entry which causes taxation to post a negative amount to the "FIT Exempt" tax bucket (as an example).

Is there anyone who uses absences for exempt colleagues in this manner? If so, how have you handled adjustments?
