Create absence types

Here we explain how to create absences and how you or your employees can request absences

Click on Duty planning in the main menu on the left, then on Settings. You are automatically at the absence types. Some absence types are already preset, but each one can be edited individually. If the absence types are not sufficient for you, you can also create your own. To do this, simply click on the blue button at the top right + Create absence type.

This is a mandatory field; enter the name of the absence type here (e.g. Unpaid leave).

Here you can choose what type of absence this is, available are vacation, illness and other.

Status

Here you can activate or deactivate the absence type, in which case it can no longer be selected by employees.
