Sickness notes are separate
Managers may rely on a private spreadsheet or inbox history.

Absence tracking
A central absence record
Keep staff absence out of disconnected notes and spreadsheets.
Sickness and short-term absences are often recorded differently from holiday, which can leave managers without one clear view of employee availability.
Awayly lets businesses configure different time-off types and keep them connected to the same people and team calendar.
Why absence tracking fragments
Different absences often get recorded in different places.
Short absences are forgotten
Appointments agreed verbally may never reach a central record.
Rules vary by manager
Different people can record the same situation differently.
Availability is incomplete
The team view may show holiday but not other absence.
Employee visibility
Let employees see the time off that is relevant to them.
Employees can view their own time-off history and permitted requests while company admins control what can be self-requested.
- Own time-off history
- Permitted requests
- Upcoming absence
- Request status
- Mobile access
Manager recording
Record sickness and other staff absence using the right type.
Managers can add appropriate absence records so the team does not have to treat every absence as annual leave.
- Record sickness
- Record appointments
- Record training
- Add notes
- Use correct allowance treatment
Company controls
Define how each staff absence type should behave.
Admins decide which types exist, who can request them and whether they use holiday allowance.
- Custom absence types
- Employee request permission
- Approval requirement
- Allowance behaviour
- Half-day settings
Track the right reason
Use clear absence categories instead of generic notes.
Different time-off types make the staff absence record easier to understand and manage.
