While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Easy to ask for vacation days etc.. The handling of a request is super easy and you can also add documents if needed.

Does what it is supposed to do, would be nice to have an overview for team availability.

Reply from absence.io
Thanks for your feedback! Team availability can be viewed in a few different ways – for example by filtering the team calendar by team or department, or by using the capacity report. If you're looking for something more specific, feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to take a closer look.
Scrolling through the weeks
Scrolling through the weeks, sometimes you need to see a specific week or weekend in the middle of your screen, but the scrolling simply moves in blocks and you can't then "micro-scroll". Makes it hard when you're planning your weeks

I hate the cue-cards
Your cue-card popup is based on a cookie instead of on my account. I really don't need a refresher every time I switch machines or browsers, or clear cache. It puts noise in the way of my ability to get work done. That goes against your value prop.

Thanks for your feedback. The guide and feature announcements are designed to appear only once. We appreciate your suggestion to tie them to the account rather than browser cookies and will pass it on to our team.
Initial Setup Help
A help box for setup of the departments, locations, and teams would be helpful to show how these labels interact.

How is it possible to have 6.29 days vacation? What does that even mean?
is it 29 minutes? or is it 0.29 of a day?

Reply from absence.io
Vacation balances are calculated proportionally based on when the allowance starts, which can lead to fractional values. These can be easily adjusted or rounded by an admin. If your admin needs help with the setup, they’re welcome to reach out to our support team.
