Add an absence in the calendar

Create a new absence directly from the calendar view. The calendar displays your current leave entitlement and working time balance.

Follow these steps

1. Navigate to Calendar in the side menu.
2. Click on the desired day in the calendar.
3. Select the Absence tab in the dialog.
4. Select the desired Absence type from the drop-down menu (for example annual leave, sick leave, or special leave).
5. Enter the From date and the To date.
6. Select the Duration (full day, half day, or by the hour).
7. Optionally add a Comment.
8. Click Save.

Form fields in detail

The absence form contains the following fields:

• Absence type: Select the type of absence. Only absence types enabled for you are displayed.
• From / To: Start and end date of the absence. For hourly absences, you can also enter the time.
• Duration: The duration is calculated automatically. You can switch between days and hours.
• Comment: An optional text field for additional information (for example the reason for the absence).

Request comp time

Comp time works differently from other absence types. It reduces the expected hours for that day and is deducted from the working time balance.

1. Select Comp time as the absence type in the form.
2. Enter the date and duration.
3. Review the displayed working time balance.
4. Click Save.
