Absence Requests 

We know you and your employees aren't always at your desk when you want to request an absence. That's why we've put together our app.

Requesting absences on the app is easy, just tap the plus at the bottom of your app to get started. You can then select the type of absence you'd like to request, the date range of it and add any notes. Simple!

Viewing your Calendar

On the app you'll have a 'Planner' section along the bottom.

This is where you can view your team's absences.

In your planner you'll see a detailed breakdown of all employee absences for today, including the absence type and date range. 

You can also view upcoming absences in the next 7 days by selecting the '7 days' tab along the top. 

Or you can select a custom date range to view absence information for, using the 'Choose dates' option along the top.

Approving & Declining Absences

Now you know how your employees request an absence, let's look at how to approve them on the app.

Just like on the website you'll find all your pending requests in a handy list on your calendar. To view this, open up your planner and tap on the pending icon in the top right corner of the screen. In here you can click on any of the pending requests to see the details of the request and approve or decline it using the tick or cross along the bottom of the screen.  You'll also see any conflicts flagged at the bottom of the screen.

Your employees will then get a handy notification via email and on their app to let them know whether their request was approved or declined. Simple!
