  3. Accrual PTO - Companies that give out time off based on time worked.

    Currently we have one pot for time off/sick/personal day & etc. We payout 5 hours each paycheck which equals to 10 hours a month. This allows new hires to not have to wait 3-6 months for them to receive PTO hours. They can use it as they earn or store it all away for a large time off/cushion for sick days/etc. It would be nice for the system to automatically add 5 hours of PTO on the 15th and 30th (or last day of the month) of each month and not have to manually add it for employees. For example: Beth starts on February 1st and has 0 PTO hours, by February 28th she now has a total of 10 PTO hours that she can use for a day off or a sick day or store it up for a longer period off.

  4. Cancellation of individual days

    It should be possible to cancel individual days of vacation (instead of just the whole vacation). This should also be possible for managers and admins for past holidays. One implementation idea would be to be able to choose between the entire vacation and individual days when canceling vacation, and then select these specifically.

  5. Overtime and recovery hours

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

  6. Representative logic

    Not only the approver has to approve an absence request. It is also possible to configure that a substitute must be selected for each request. It can be configured whether the requester can select a substitute from a pool, or whether he or she is free to choose one. In this process, the representative gets a request when the representative approves, only then the request goes to the approver.

  7. Notify admin when holiday is approved

    Would be useful for the HR admin to know that holiday has been booked. Either as a notification in the app or via email.

  8. Monthly accounting accruals

    Monthly accrual accounts. It would be great if a custom filter (for ex January to April) would be available on the overview page. This filter should allow to see the holidays status at a certain moment in time and calculate the accrual value for the holiday left that the company would have to pay in a future. For example, Mark has 20 days holidays + 3 service day, he booked 7 days at the end of May. Accounts department has to see in April: Mark 20+3 days left, meanwhile if Accounts looks at the calendar at the end of May should see 13+3.

  9. Accruing time off in lieu

    It would be great for employees to be able to log extra hours works (i.e. on weekends or evenings) and for that to accumulate towards half days or full days off in lieu. Currently we can book TOIL but there is no log of how much TOIL has been accrued.

  10. Users should not see the leave of other colleagues, even if they are in the same department.

    For privacy and data protection. Restrict users to see only their calendar.

  12. Deduction from next years allowance

    We have found an issue this year, using absentify for the first time, that when an employee wants to request time off, but they don't have enough allowance, there is no way for them to request that holidays be taken off their next years allowance without contacting admin for admin to then manually take of allowance next year and manually add allowance to this year. It should be that if an employee is making a request that they don't have enough allowance for, there should be an alert and an option to send a request to admin for the request to go forward, but automatically take days of next years allowance. Additionally, I think it should come up on the left how many days have been taken from next years allowance, along with the different allowance types taken this year when your looking at their yearly overview calendar.

  13. Possibility to add multiple entries in a period

    Hi, we started using Absentify to manage absence request and we also want to use it has a capacity planner. We will need to be able to add multiple entries (half or full day) in the same period. For example a user can be in an project for the day (no deduction) but also be noted that he will be on phone support (on-call duty). This possibility would be greatly appreciated.

  14. Recognize vacation representatives in the calendar

    In our procedure, the deputy must release the leave. We therefore miss the name of the deputy in the calendar display. We would like to recognize this immediately, preferably as a hint or tooltip when hovering over the name. Even if the deputy is absent - e.g. due to illness - we would like to be able to see immediately where action needs to be taken.
