absence.io
absence io is developed to help HR professionals in small and medium-sized enterprises easily handle team leave, employee vacation, attendance, and PTO. The software is cloud-based, supported with Android and iOS native apps for leave requests, approvals, and tracking.
With absence io's online vacation planner, creating vacations is simple and easy. In the integrated calendar, the employee simply selects the appropriate period and sends an electronic absence request to the approver with one click. The manager is notified by e-mail and at the same time learns which other employees will also be absent during this period. In this way, the approver can make his decision on the basis of transparent and up-to-date data and avoid overlaps.
Four moduls are provided: Employee Vacation Tracker, Absence Management, Digital Personal Files, and Time Tracking. The whole system is unquestionably secure, with data stored on central servers in Germany. It is user-friendly and easily customizable.
