Improvement
The new absence modal: more overview, less effort

Summary: The new absence modal shows overlaps, pay, shifts, and leave balance in one place.
You no longer jump between screens to answer who is off, how pay is calculated, or which shifts conflict.
See overlapping absences
Before approving an absence you want to know who else is away. The modal shows an overlap view with all other absences in the selected period, as a clear timeline. Spot staffing gaps before you approve.
Everything important at a glance
The new summary on the right shows what you are entering live: absence type, period, remaining leave and the pay method. For paid leave you see available days, days needed and what remains.
Configure pay more easily
Four clear options. Manual, 13-week average, Schedule or Pay rule, each with a plain explanation. Pick paid days on a day grid and see the result immediately.
Manage shifts automatically
If employees are scheduled during an absence, the modal shows those conflicts and lets you remove all affected shifts at once. For half-days, only shifts within the absence window are shown.
Plan half-days flexibly
Absences do not always cover full days. With half-day settings you define from or until when the absence applies on the first and last day.
What this means for you
- Less coordination, spot overlapping absences without checking the schedule separately
- Faster processing, pay, shifts and leave balance in one window
- Fewer errors, conflicts and balances are shown before you save
The new absence modal is available now for all customers on the new payroll system.
