Feature Ideas

If a user requests leave, his superior receives a message to accept or reject the leave. Currently, they have to check the calendar view to see whether someone else in their team is already on holiday during this period. Solution: It would be better to write directly in the approval popup that there are overlaps with other users of the team in this period.

Right now it is only possible to enter one kind of event on one day. It would be helpful to enter two dates on one day, and that they were shown for all users For example: Someone is working remote and at the same time, there is a group meeting (for all members), which can also be done by this person remote. The calender could shown both: the absence of the person and the group meeting

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.

Could you add the possibility to mark people we are working with a lot so we would see them immediately when connecting to absentify? This would be a kind of Favorites. This could be displayed as a Department "Favorite" or at the top of the list...

I would like to see an option to change your absence markings without cancelling them. I.e. when you try to change (shift) your vacation, you have to cancel the whole thing and start over.

It would be great to have an app so that employees could easily request of through app.

We also use absentify to plan home office days and attendance days in the office. Here it would be helpful if it were possible to define attendances in addition to absence types (home office is not an absence) or to filter according to individual types.

In large organizational structures, higher-level managers often need visibility into absence data across multiple teams without participating in approval workflows. This feature would introduce a read-only role that allows designated users to view absence information without triggering notifications or being listed as approvers. Ideally, this role should be assignable via API to support automated role management from external HR systems. It ensures transparency for leadership while maintaining privacy and clarity in approval chains.

We nee a User Role that is able to adjust abscences for Employees without beeing part of a department. We have like 6 departments that are handled by one person and she has to be part of every department at the moment to do that.

Currently, there are internal regulations whereby requests are automatically considered approved after a certain period of time if the supervisor has not responded. Alternatively, requests can also be automatically rejected by the system after a certain period of time. Could we please have this option?

Would like to be able to create a series of an appointment/s like Outlook allows us to.

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

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.

Provide possibility to " plan " absences (display as " planned absence "). Or display absences that have not yet started as "planned" in the individual contingent overview.

We are a company with many employees with school kids. When we plan our holiday with absentify it would be usefull to see, when the school holidays in our country/state are starting and ending. It should work similar to the public holidays. maybe the days in the bar of the week days should be marked with school holiday when you choose for example germany / lower saxony in the settings. thanks
