# Why are employees from absence.io not showing in the Expenses module?

Since our Travel Expenses module is integrated with an external partner, the display of users isn't automatic but intentional. Only users who actively access the module (e.g., by clicking “Travel Expenses” once) are synced with the system. This keeps everything tidy and gives you full control over who gets full admin access. However, full synchronization is still possible if needed. Below you'll find more details and helpful tips:

### Syncing employees:

As soon as an employee clicks on the “Travel Expenses” tab, they are automatically synced with the module and will appear in the employee list in the admin view. Users who haven’t opened the tab yet won’t show up there – but they can still be included in billing unless they are on the exclusion list.

What is the exclusion list?

The exclusion list in absence.io (found under **Settings → Expenses → Access Management**) explicitly excludes selected users from being billed for the Expenses module.  
👉 Learn more in<https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/how-can-i-exclude-certain-employees-from-the-expenses-module?hsLang=en>[this article](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/how-can-i-exclude-certain-employees-from-the-expenses-module?hsLang=en)<https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/why-are-employees-or-admin-roles-from-absence.io-not-showing-in-the-expenses-module?hsLang=en>

Anyone not on the list will be included in billing — regardless of whether they are visible in the Admin user list or not.

### Full Sync Solution: 

If you'd like to ensure that **all active users** are displayed and **all admin roles** from absence.io are fully synced to the Travel Expenses module, we can trigger a **complete synchronization** for you.

This will automatically link:

✔️ All active users  
✔️ All admin roles

with the Travel Expenses module — no action needed on your side.

Enjoy using our solution!
