Absentia
Absentia is Annual leave software for teams that need policy flexibility. Absentia helps organisations track annual leave and other absences when employees do not all share the same contract or leave year. Absentia is built for teams that mix full-time, part-time, and hourly staff, or that hire throughout the year. Each employee can have their own leave-year dates, an allowance measured in days or hours, and a work schedule the system uses to calculate deductions. Leave can accrue per person, including the option to book against leave that will have been earned by the holiday date.
