Feature highlights

[ Absence Calendar/Ghantt Overview ]

See absences next to the schedule, not apart from it

Approved and pending absences show up directly on the shift calendar, so a manager reviewing next week’s roster can see who’s unavailable before a shift ever gets assigned.

  • Absences overlaid on the shift calendar
  • Filter by department, location or leave type
  • Team view shows everyone’s availability at a glance
[ Leave Balance Summary ]

Balances that update themselves

Every approved absence is deducted from the right balance automatically, whether that’s an annual vacation entitlement or a statutory sick-pay allowance, so no one has to track it in a spreadsheet on the side.

  • Automatic balance deduction on approval
  • Carry-over and entitlement rules per leave type
  • Employees see their remaining balance anytime
