Employee Absence Calendars

By using employee absence calendars, you can get an overview of each employee’s absence for use in connection with detailed resource planning.

An employee absence calendar contains information on when a given employee is absent and the reason for this absence, for example, illness, vacation, or leave of absence. Moreover, you can specify whether the planned absence is definitively decided or only temporarily planned.

If an employee is specified as absent in the employee absence calendar, it is not possible to include the employee in the process of making detailed plans of tasks in the window Detailed Planning for the absence period in question. However, the employee may not be considered absent as soon as an absence calendar line has been created. This depends on the setting of the system parameter “Approval of Absence,” as described in the following sections.
