Does taking time off count as absenteeism?

Legal analysis: No, employees' personal leave is an act allowed by the company, while absenteeism is an act prohibited by the company. When an employee asks for personal leave, he can only deduct his salary, not anything other than his salary. If an employee is absent from work, the unit can punish the employee in violation of discipline in addition to deducting wages. According to the relevant laws and regulations, if a civil servant is absent from work, goes out on business, or fails to return after the expiration of the leave period without justifiable reasons, which may cause adverse effects, he may be given a warning, demerit or gross demerit.
