Time off & absence
Time off should be easy. For everyone.

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.
- 01
The employee requests time off
Choose a leave type and dates, preview the number of days and understand the remaining balance before submitting.
- 02
Managers get the context they need
Requests and decisions sit alongside team planning, making absences easier to understand when arranging coverage.
- 03
Balances and patterns become visible
Follow remaining days and absence trends over time, without piecing together separate lists and calendars.
