How does absence approval work in Humanet?
The employee opens the app, selects the absence type, and enters the date range. They immediately see how much leave they have left. The request goes for approval automatically, the manager gets a notification, and approves it with a single click. Once approved, the absence is reflected directly in attendance and the Outlook calendar. If the employee needs to provide a document, they upload it directly to the request. No emails, no paperwork, no negotiating in the hallway.
