Before conducting return to work interviews, managers and HR can review the employee’s records and view any previous absences to be fully equipped ahead of the individual’s return.
edays supports all custom absence types, allowing you to add as many types as you like. You also have the ability to define rules for how these are to be used and managed.

The best way to track employee absence is by ensuring that all absences are logged and recorded in a centralised system. Where possible, the reason for the absence should also be logged.
With edays, you can set up absence triggers which will send you an alert when that trigger is met – for example, if an employee takes three absences during a set time period. Having this data will enable people managers to proactively reach out to an employee who has been absent more than once in a short space of time.
Without automated processes like these, absence tracking can be much more challenging if done manually – for example by using spreadsheets. This approach can lead to errors, inaccuracy and a lack of overall visibility of absences occurring in a team or whole organisation.

Absence management is the process of recording and tracking all employee absences within an organisation. Absence management includes tracking sickness absences from work – everything from who should be informed if an employee is ill, to the reason for their absence (if disclosed), how long they need to take off from work, and how all of this information is recorded.
Good absence management practices mean that employees feel supported, resources can be carefully planned around absences, and any issues within teams can be addressed accordingly.
