Fewer slips of paper. Fewer questions.

Graphically, with no form. In the calendar bar you pick the tool — leave, planned leave, sick, paid or unpaid release — and drag it across the days. The span colours in immediately and the account recalculates at once. The eraser takes a marking back just as quickly.

Yes, that is what the planning view is for: one row per person, one column per day, the whole group side by side. Leave, planned requests and sick days lie on top of one another in colour, so bottlenecks stand out — two sales assistants in the same week are visible before the second request is approved.

Yes, at a computer or on a phone. Requested leave appears immediately as „geplant“ (planned) in the grid, so the department sees early who would like time off. Nothing changes on the time account until a decision is made.

Special leave, unpaid leave, business travel, training, flexitime compensation, the correction of a forgotten clock-in, and the cancellation of an entered day. Common reasons are offered for selection — forgot to clock, wrong time, clocked twice, terminal unreachable, doctor's appointment, business errand — and free text stays possible.

The person's named line manager. If none is stored, management decides, otherwise the administrators. Open requests appear as a figure and a card on the dashboard and are approved there, or declined with a reason.

No, not even a department head — the button simply is not there for your own request. A deputy can be stored per group so that nothing stalls while the manager is away.

Before a time correction is approved, the server checks whether the day has been edited in the meantime. If it has, the approval is declined rather than pushing a stale correction over a newer change.

If you want, the system sends email in both directions: to those responsible when a request arrives, and to the employee once it is decided. Without a stored address the decision simply appears in the web and mobile app — nobody needs a mailbox for it.

Yes, through CalDAV — the open calendar standard. With the connection to your mail server set up, every full-day absence is entered as an appointment in the personal calendar: planned leave as a tentative appointment, switched to confirmed on approval, and deleted again if the absence is removed. The connection is voluntary and set up per employee with their own, encrypted password.

Each employee has a holiday account with entitlement, carry-over and remainder. The entitlement is dated, so a change mid-year — a change in weekly hours, for instance — stays traceable.
