Chronicle now supports Absence requests in the Desktop version of Employee Self Servicing. This feature will soon roll out into the Employee Smart Phone App as well.
The feature is centrally controllable and customisable. Simply create an absence type like ‘Work Trip’ and set it to be ‘allow request’
Employees will then see in the Calendar booking screen a new drop down with the various Absence types available to select.
Once requested, authorisation from the defined manager is needed and a full email thread is processed to employee.
