People: Absence Requests for Leave, Sickness, and More.
The leave request is becoming an absence request – so you can now manage sickness and neutral absences centrally too. Read on to find out what other improvements this brings.
Enable
If you have already been using leave requests in MOCO, there’s nothing you need to do. If not, you’ll find the option for requests in Settings under "Planning", in the "Manage Absences" section.
Submit an Absence Request
In your profile, under "Absences", select the required days in the calendar, then click "Request Absence" (1). In the next step, you can now choose between Leave, Sickness, or Neutral (2). Set the contact person for approval, optionally add a comment, add any additional custom fields if applicable, and submit the request.
In the calendar, pending requests are marked in blue. Approved leave is green, and other approved absences are grey.

Review Absence Requests
The selected contact person is notified by MOCO about the new absence request. All requests can be reviewed and approved or rejected under "People" > "Absence Requests". The list has been revised and now also shows the type of absence.

In MOCO, the absences are Leave, Sickness, Public Holiday, and Neutral. With the appropriate access rights, all absences can be entered directly in Planning – for example, by HR managers.
At the same time, in Settings under "Planning", you can define whether users are allowed to manage their own absences or whether they must have them approved via a request.

What has changed?
"Leave" becomes "Absences"
In the profile and under People, the "Leave" section has been renamed to "Absences".
Manage Absences
Previously, users could only manage leave themselves. From now on, sickness and neutral absences can also be managed by all users in their profile – depending on the setting, either directly or via an absence request.

And under People, those responsible can also enter or adjust all absences (except public holidays) directly for users.
Custom Fields
The custom fields previously defined for the leave request now apply to all absence entries. If needed, use suitable labels to indicate which field is relevant for which type of absence.
Public Holidays unchanged
As before, public holidays are handled separately and managed centrally via Planning.
