  1. Upload attachments to each request

    For example, if you're booking time off as a sick day, you can include a photo of a doctor's note. 🤢 Only admin and the manager can see this attachment.

  2. Overtime and recovery hours

    Allow overtime to be added in a separate counter and then the emplyees can subtract the recup hours from this.

  3. Add Noticeboard where organisation leave rules can be posted as static content.

    A noticeboard where the rules per leave type can be loaded as static content would assist new and casual employees on what kind of absences they can take and the rules for each one. For example. if one is calling in sick - the noticeboard can have something that says notify your line manager by 9am or if one is booking sick leave for more than two days, they would know they need to bring a doctor's letter on return to duties. It can be just an additional tab on the app and the main administrator has access to update the tab.

  4. Blockoutdates

    Due to events in the year, it would be useful to define dates when vacations cannot be taken. It would be useful if it can be defined which type of absences cannot be taken during the blocking dates.

  5. Update Vacation Allotment Balance After Every Payroll with Excel Import

    Allotments are not static in reality. They are constantly changing such as when people reach years of service milestones. There could also be utilization that occurs that is captured by the payroll process but not captured by the Absentify request process. It would be helpful if we could upload a CSV or Excel after every payroll to adjust the allotment to the current existing balance. This would be similar to the user upload that exists at setup. There just needs to be an excel template with the user connecting field (User ID or Name) and the Allotment. We would export from our payroll software the current allotment/vacation balance and import it into the system. Users would then have accurate information as to the current balance of vacation. Managers would also have more reliable data for approving requests. The main benefit of an Excel upload rather than an integration is that there is such a significant number of payroll software that you will impact a greater number of users by utilizing a common platform like Excel Upload.

  6. See who is already off when opening requests

    When the approver receives a time off request, it would be handy to see who else already has that time off when they open the request.

  7. Filter to see non-absent

    I see a filter for Absent, but a Non-Absent filter to check see who is working, or In office (vs WFH) is useful.

  8. Manager calendars hidden.

    I've noticed that whenever you add a user as a manager in a department, the other department users can see the managers calendar. I wonder if you could add an option to hide the managers calendar so that ordinary employees cannot see when specific managers are off. An alternative to this would be to just let certain users have the visibility of a department calendar, without adding them as users or manager of that department.

  9. Canceling an absence must also be approved

    When a user wants to cancel an absence, the approver must also accept or refuse the cancellation

  11. Allow name and email address to be changed

    Currently, I cannot change a user's name or email address (e.g. due to marriage).

  12. Print out period- all absents

    Really need a function where you can print out (pdf?) all absences for a period, eg week or month.

  13. print annual calendar of users/

    It will be nice if can print the annual calendar of each user separately, perhaps as a pdf file.

  14. Be able to define sub-departments and be able to filters on them

    We are a holding with two companies and in these companies we have different departments, plus sales peoples with given sales region. We like to be able to set a strucure of Compay A/Department/Sales Region for example. But the Microsoft Office 365 is based on tenant only, therefore I can't see how to set this kind of structure even with the Business Plan and the given Departments Add-on.

  15. Add an 'Upcoming absences' option to the Department filter on the Overview page.

    Users can see who is absent today but if they wanted to see who is absent later in the week or the following week, the 'All departments' option needs to be selected. This will include a lot of people who have no absence booked on the days in view. It would be useful to have an option which covers all departments but only lists users who have absence booked on the days displayed on the Overview page. This would make the list smaller to save scrolling past all the users with no absence booked. Thanks.
