Absences

Submit and review leave requests. Open a record to see details or manage approvals.

Configure absence reasons

• Users with unrestricted update access for absences manage the workspace's absence catalog in System Settings -> Absence Reasons.
• Each reason can define defaults such as whole-day or multi-day behavior plus flags like paid, approval required, medical certificate required, counts as working time, and affects vacation balance.
• Reasons that count as working time contribute credited absence time to monthly timesheets and yearly analysis. Overlapping logged work time is subtracted from that credited time.
• New workspaces can seed a DACH starter set and then adjust each reason to match their own policy.

Actions

• Create, edit, and delete entries with the dialogs. The member picker only shows active members your role can create absences for.
• Use the table actions to open detail pages or, when allowed, approve or decline requested absences.
• When manager-side confirmation is enabled in System Settings -> Work Times, users whose role can update the requested absence can approve or decline it. Self-review is blocked unless the role has unrestricted update access for absences.
• If a user without unrestricted update access edits their own approved absence, the record returns to Requested so it can be reviewed again.
• Closing a monthly timesheet locks approved absences in that period until the timesheet is reopened.
