Questions about the absence calendar.
How do I request a vacation or home office?
In the calendar you click a day and choose Submit a request, or use the My requests section. You pick the type, dates and a note, the portal counts the working days and shows who from the department is off at that time. The request goes to the manager or HR according to the approval flow.
Who sees my sick leave or a doctor visit?
HR sees sick leave, carer's leave and doctor visits. Colleagues in the calendar see only a general absence, without a reason.
Does the calendar also cover business trips and vehicle bookings?
Yes. Besides vacation and home office, the calendar also has business trips and approved or pending company vehicle bookings. You can filter by them.
Does the calendar include public holidays?
Yes, public holidays are set in the calendar and are taken into account when counting working days.
Does the portal track the vacation balance?
The current version handles the calendar, requests and approval. The portal doesn't calculate the remaining vacation balance yet.
Can the calendar be linked with attendance and the shift planner?
Yes. An approved absence appears in the attendance report and the shift planner warns when a shift falls on an absence.
