Hi. Other ways of - How can I make up for the absences?
Would How can comensate for these absences work?
Would How can comensate compensate for these absences from work?

How can I make up the lost hours/days?
compensate for = make up for

So yes, you could say: How can I/we compensate for these absences?
But it depends on the context, which is far from clear.

Compensate doesn't really work if what's actually meant is Packard's How can I make up the lost hours/days?
The context is that those absences are from classes at university
Then it's not so much making up for the absences but (as Packard said) making up the lost time.

Agreed, compensate is out. Do you know some other phrase for make up for?
