Absentia let's your employees view their absences online and book them with ease. Saving managers time and reducing clashes within the team.
Our comprehensive approvals system means managers don't need to worry about enforcing allowances. Approving an absence is done with just a single click.
Here's how it works...
Employee books leave
Employees record their holidays and absences by using the simple online booking page, specifying the absence duration and type.
Holidays are automatically deducted from the employee's annual allowance by taking into account their work schedule.
Their manager approves the request (optional)
The employee's manager will recieve a notification to approve or deny the holiday request, leaving a clear audit trail.
Employees can be set as their own manager for auto-approval of any absences they book, bypassing the approvals system.
Absences are visible to the team
Employees can view planned holidays and absences using the handy online calendars. The improved visibility of absences helps teams plan their personal holidays and team activities.
Sync with calendar
View absences in your calendar by connecting your Outlook, Gmail, or any calendar software to Absentia using an ical link.
Privacy mode
Restrict employees to viewing only their annual leave if required.
Plus lots more...
Departments
Organise your staff by department using the natural hierachy of your organisation. Departments help keep the calendars granular and setup clear seperation for manager approvals.
Add as many departments as you want or stick to using just one, depending on the size of your company.
Work schedules
Set an individual's working days for smart automatic deduction calculations when booking leave. Non-working days are helpfuly highlighted for each member in the calendars.
Days or Hours
Track absences and allowances in days or hours on an individual basis. This allows you mix and match employees that have an allowance in days and those that use hours.
Track all types of absences within your organisation with options for deductible and non-deductible types.
