What is Absence Management?

Absence Management is an extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations or Project Service Automation. It helps both managers and employees to manage and monitor vacations and other absences.

As a manager, you can define lists of international, national and regional holidays and apply them to a defined group of employees according to their location. Automatically add holidays to your team members’ calendars as time off, so they appear as non-working days on the Schedule Board in the PSA app or the PO app. You can also create automatic approvals for certain types of absences.

As a team member, the app lets you request vacations for a full day, half a day or several days in a row. Access the app via smartphone, tablet or desktop to check the status of your vacation requests and to see how many days of vacation you have left for a given year.

Why Absence Management?

As a project manager, you need an overview of the availabilities of your team members, otherwise, confusion and in the worst case faulty resource scheduling will jeopardize your business. Especially in an international team with different local holidays on top of vacation days, sick leaves, and different working time models, this is challenging. With Absence Management you stay on top of all of your team members’ absences.

Key features of Absence Management for managers:

Control over holiday requests and approvals.
Overview of your team members absences.
Location-dependent holiday list for different groups of employees.
Automatic approvals.

As an employee, you benefit from the app, too. You always have a current overview of your remaining vacation days and can request time off on the go.

Key features of Absence Management for employees:

Quick vacation requests.
Overview of remaining vacation days.
Status of holiday requests.
