Tips β€” Leave & Absences

Practical tips for checking your balance, reporting sick leave quickly, and spotting coverage gaps before submitting.

Tips & Tricks: Urlaub & Abwesenheit

Your remaining days are always visible β€” The leave request form shows your current balance for each leave type before you submit. You'll see exactly how many days you have left β€” no need to ask HR first.

Public holidays are deducted automatically β€” Stunden knows your canton's official holiday calendar. If your vacation request spans a public holiday, that day is not counted against your leave balance. The system handles it for you.

Request leave across a holiday without worry β€” Submitting a two-week request that includes Easter or Neujahr? Just pick the full date range. The holiday deduction happens in the background β€” you'll see the correct working-day count in the confirmation.

Report sick leave the same day β€” Sick leave entries can be created for today without manager pre-approval. Submit as soon as you know you're out so your team sees the absence on the schedule right away. A medical certificate can be attached later.

Find a replacement with one click β€” When requesting leave, the team availability panel shows who's already off in your absence window. Spotting a gap in coverage is instant, so you can coordinate a handover before the request is even submitted.
