As support, the user can show his calendar to get an overview of his own annual planning. Furthermore, the group calendar can also be displayed, which provides an overview of the planned absences within the department. 
The calendar / group calendar can be hidden again by clicking on the button "Hide calendar" / "Hide group calendar".

After starting the process, you will be forwarded to the uncompleted requests overview where you can see all your open requests sorted chronologically by the time they were created (for more information, see Uncompleted Requests).

Behaviour of the Absence reasons

If a booking is made on a day on which a full-day absence reason is entered, the following absence  reasons are not deleted:

• Vacation
• Time compensation
• Training

The following absence reasons are deleted and only the entry appears in the journal:

• Sick
• Business trip

Examples: 

- Vacation on 02.07.2015 and booking from 08:00-10:00 - both the reason for the error and the booking are displayed in the journal:

The vacation day on 02.07.2015 remains despite the booking from 08:00 - 10:00 (2 hours). The balance is increased by 2 hours (see Balance 01.07. and 02.07.).  

- Sick on 01.07.2015

By booking 08:00 - 10:00, the error reason Sick is deleted. This also affects the balance (since the target time of 07:42 was not reached, the balance is reduced accordingly). 

Approval process

Applicant --> Manager for approval

Good to know:

As long as the absences request is on its way (status Unauthorized), the reason for the absence is already entered in red in the calendar.

Once a request has been approved, the absence reason appears in black on the relevant days and all work-relevant data is updated (for example, remaining leave or planned leave).

Click on the U field in the calendar to obtain detailed information on the request (examples of an unapproved and approved absences request):
