In user records, when is a user considered to have an Absent Status?

A user is considered to have an Absent Status when they are temporarily away and need to be excluded from processes. This status is typically used to indicate that the user cannot participate in normal operations, such as performance reviews or training sessions, due to their absence. By marking them with an Absent Status, it ensures that any processes or evaluation criteria that might typically involve this user are adjusted accordingly, minimizing any interruptions or inaccuracies in workflow and decision-making.

The other options do not align with the definition of Absent Status. A recent promotion signifies a change in the user's position rather than their absence, a pending review period indicates that a review process is on hold but does not imply that the user is currently away, and assignment to a new position suggests a transition rather than an absence. Each of these situations requires different handling in system processes, thereby distinguishing them from a user who simply needs to be marked as absent.
