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

there is no place to attach a document after filling the absence

Does what it says on the tin. What would make it better would be able to create a list of people to notify rather than having to add them for each and every absence.

It is a decent track system-could be good if the dates selector have a customisation to select dates

Reply from absence.io
Thanks for your feedback! Just to better understand – could you let us know where exactly in the app you’re missing the date selector customization? That would help us look into it more specifically, as our calendar view and many other settings already allow selecting or searching for specific dates.

Thanks for reaching out. It seems there’s been a bit of confusion – absence.io provides software for companies to manage leave and absences, but we’re not involved in processing individual employee requests or handling FMLA documentation. We recommend contacting your employer’s HR department directly, as they’ll be able to assist you further.
Why open up the login page in a new window?
I really don't like it when clicking Login opens up a new window, instead of opening it up in the same window.

Reply from absence.io
Thanks for your feedback! We understand that opening the login in a new window might not be ideal for everyone. As a workaround, feel free to bookmark this direct link: app.absence.io/#/actions/login – it will take you straight to the login page in the same window.
It was very slow

Reply from absence.io
Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced slowness. In most cases, the app performs very quickly – speed and stability are a top priority for us. Occasionally, performance issues can be caused by local network conditions or temporary system load. If the problem persists, feel free to reach out with more details – we’d be happy to take a closer look."
