Vacation requests and sick notes in the CRM

Vacation, flexitime, special leave and business trips are requested in the CRM and submitted for approval. Your team records sick notes in the same process. The attendance calendar shows who is in and when.

How it works

From request to attendance calendar

A request starts as a draft and is submitted for approval. The responsible person approves or denies it; approved absences appear in the attendance calendar. The example shows the four steps.

Both types have their own label and are requested like vacation.

Business trip

Business trips with departure point, destination, stops, purpose and reimbursement method. The cost center is part of the request.

Planning

Absences can be made available for planning purposes, so the team sees early on who will be away.

Request and approval

Submit and approve requests

Requests start as drafts and are submitted for approval. The status shows whether a request has been submitted, approved or denied.

Vacation days, days carried over from the previous year and forfeited or postponed days are stored in the employment details. For every request the CRM shows the number of working days affected; holidays and additional days off are part of the calendar.

Business trips and expenses

Request business trips and reimburse expenses

For an expense claim you upload the receipt. Line items and further data are read from the receipt. The claim includes issuer, receipt date, receipt number, amounts with and without VAT, and tips.

Each expense has a type and a cost center. Departure point, destination and stops belong to the trip.
