Time Off Management


This feature allows you to track when employees are on business trips, sick leave, or any other type of time off.

Time Off Management will help you stay informed about when employees or teammates are out of the office, so you can plan activities better and avoid overlapping schedules.

Except for the 4 default types of time off (Paid Absence, Business Trip, Sick Leave, and Unauthorized Absence), there are also holidays and your custom time off types.

How to Install Time Off Management

To add this feature, click your avatar in the top right corner and go to the Apps tab.

Find Time Off Management.

Click the Install button.

Once the app is installed, you can find it in the My Team tab.

List of All Time Off

In this list, you can see all previous, current, and future time off. You can filter them by user, job titles, dates, comments, and status.

How to Add a Time Off Entry

To add a new time off entry, click the Add button in the top right corner and select Time Off from the dropdown menu.

Here you can specify the employee, the status of the absence, start and end dates, and leave a comment. If the time off overlaps with a holiday, you can also take it into account. 

Time Off Chart

In the time off chart, you can see all past, current, and future time off. Each type has its own unique color. You can not only observe time off per employee, but also see upcoming holidays.

In the chart, you can filter time off by user and year.

To change the view, hover over the chart, press Shift and scroll to zoom in or zoom out.

How to Create a Custom Absence Type

To create a custom absence type, click the three-dot button in the top right corner → Absence Types. There you’ll find the full list of absence types. 

To create a new one, click the Add button.

In the opened window, you can specify the Title and select the color. Also, there is an option to add a custom duration, which will be the default for this absence type. You can also change the duration for default absence types (Paid Absence, Sick Leave, Business Trip, etc.). In the time off chart, your custom type will be displayed with the color you choose.

The Include holidays option takes public and custom holidays into account if any time off matches a holiday. If this option is turned off, the duration will remain as set.
