Absences

Vacation, leave and sick days, with balances always current

Absences live in the same place as hours. Every employee sees their balance, the team shares one calendar and absences also show up in Google Calendar.

  • Absences in days or hours
  • Balances: entitlement, used, remaining, carryover
  • Google Calendar sync

What you can do

Your own absence types

Vacation, leave, sick days and whatever else your company needs, tracked in days or hours.

Clear balances

For each absence type: entitlement, used, remaining and carryover from last year.

Absence calendar

Everyone's absences day by day, with company holidays already marked.

Google Calendar

Employees can connect their Google account so their absences appear there too.

How it works

  1. 01

    Set up absences and holidays

    Define absence types, holidays and each employee's annual balances.

  2. 02

    The employee adds an absence

    They pick the type and dates: the balance updates and the absence appears in the calendar.

  3. 03

    Everyone sees the picture

    Managers see their team's absences, the payroll consultant the whole company's.

Frequently asked questions

Can absences be tracked in hours?

Yes. Each absence type can be tracked in days or in hours, which helps with hourly leave and part-timers.

Is last year's remaining balance lost?

No. Balances include carryover from the previous year, added to the new year's entitlement.

Do public holidays count as vacation?

No. Company holidays are set in Chrono Desk and appear in the calendar as separate days.
