What does the calendar show?
The columns are weeks, and the rows are employees. A fully filled box means the whole week is absence. Otherwise the number of working days in the week is shown. Public holidays are not counted. Requested weeks are shown dimmed with a dashed edge.
Who sees what?
- Administrator: all types of approved absence, and requests if they tick the box.
- Everyone else: only approved holiday for colleagues in the company. Sick leave is not shown, because it is sensitive information. Requests that have not been handled are not shown either.
Common problems
- My holiday is missing. The request may not have been approved yet. See the status under HR > Absence.
- You do not see sick leave. That is correct. Only administrators see it.
