Activ Absence is an online holiday leave planner and sickness absence management system. Often staff holiday planning and sickness absence are managed manually using paper & spreadsheets. This means a lot of admin for the HR team and it makes reporting a challenge. Activ Absence is designed to replace these measures by providing numerous benefits, and it manages other types of leave (like shared paternity leave, study leave, medical leave etc.) in the same easy-to-use system.
Activ Absence couldn’t be simpler to use, staff can request leave in as little as two mouse clicks and you can obtain reports instantly. We can even set it to automatically email reports at set schedules.
It is completely web-based, there is no software to download or install, and we look after all the servers and backups. Activ Absence can be used across all Web Browsers on almost any device.
Any number of different leave types can be managed in the system with its own rules and approval routes e.g. maternity, paternity, compassionate, medical appointments, etc. You can configure as many Planned and Unplanned Absence Types to your system as you want.
Whether their Working Pattern is changing from full-time to part-time, or just changing the hours worked, you can configure the system to recalculate their leave entitlements based on the configured policies.
You’re able to login into and access the Activ Absence System 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Activ Absence can be accessed from any device through a web browser, with a specific interface designed for smartphone access.
Calendars in the system can be easily synchronised to any standard calendar software supporting calendar subscriptions such as Microsoft Outlook, Google calendars, and iPhone/Android smartphones.
