  1. 01

    Fast for employees

    Request, check balances and follow the status instantly – on desktop or mobile.

  2. 02

    Overview for managers

    See who is away, approve requests and plan staffing in one view.

  3. 03

    Control for leadership

    Spot early when vacation liability grows or absence rises in a team.

Make room for time off. Keep the overview.

FROM REQUEST TO OVERVIEW

From a simple request to a plan that works.

Time off affects both the individual and the team. When requests, balances and planning connect, it is easier to make decisions with the whole workday in mind.

  1. 01

    The employee requests time off

    Choose a leave type and dates, preview the number of days and understand the remaining balance before submitting.

  2. 02

    Managers get the context they need

    Requests and decisions sit alongside team planning, making absences easier to understand when arranging coverage.

  3. 03

    Balances and patterns become visible

    Follow remaining days and absence trends over time, without piecing together separate lists and calendars.

Time off & absence

What is included

A good absence process should be simple to use and provide enough context to plan ahead.

01

Holiday planning with balance clarity

See allocated, used, pending and carried-over days by year. A preview helps explain how a request affects the balance.

  • Vacation pay supplement under the same-pay rule (0.43% per day)
  • Care of sick children (VAB), parental leave and sick leave with qualifying deduction

02

Absence teams can plan around

Bring requests, decisions and team absence into a shared flow. Follow-up helps you see when something may need attention.
