Absences as a record, not a message
A leave request in a chat is gone once it is approved. In cashwerk it stays a request with status, account and calendar entry.
Each person submits requests: leave, sick days or another absence type, with period and note. The responsible role sees pending requests in one overview and approves or rejects. The status is traceable in the history.
The leave account works with the entitlement from the profile, deducts taken days and shows the rest. Only working days are counted; public holidays are skipped. Overtime from the working-time account can be taken as time off.
Approved absences show in the team calendar and in shift planning. Absence planning is included in every plan, the free one too.
