Discover everything you need to know about absence management in our work lexicon and save valuable time. From legal basics to practical tips.

Definition of Absence Management

Absence management allows companies to respond optimally to all types of absences, such as sick leave, vacation requests, or spontaneous schedule changes. It is essential for a company that management always knows which employees are available when. To achieve this, it must always maintain an overview of all absences and related information, such as the reason or duration of the absence.

There are different types of absences

  • Sick Leave
  • Vacation
  • Business Trips
  • Parental Leave
  • Maternity Leave
  • Educational Leave

Absence Management in Companies

Since there are so many different types of absences with varying legal regulations, it can quickly become complicated to keep track of everything. Therefore, it is advisable to create an absence schedule and react to absences promptly. Vacations or business trips, for example, can be planned long-term. Illness-related absences, on the other hand, can only be addressed at very short notice. That's why an interactive digital staffing plan is ideal today.

A digital shift plan allows your company to see all available employees at a glance. Employees can enter vacations long-term and illnesses with reasons and documentation into the system in real-time, so you can find replacements as quickly as possible. With software like PlanD's, replacements are immediately suggested whose capacities are not yet exhausted and who possess the necessary qualifications for the assignment.
