Vacation, Sick Days, Remote Work: How to Manage Absences with Fritto
Vacation requests by email, sick notes in chat, remote work days tracked in some shared Excel spreadsheet — for many teams, absence management is a patchwork of workarounds. It wastes time, causes errors, and makes workforce planning unnecessarily complicated.
Fritto solves this right where time tracking already happens.
Why Absences Belong in Time Tracking
Anyone tracking working hours also needs to keep an eye on absence times. Only when you know who is actually available can you plan projects realistically, assess capacities correctly, and invoice accurately at the end of the month.
Separate tools for time tracking and absence management may sound organised at first. In practice, however, they create duplicate data maintenance, inconsistent information, and always the same question: which system is right?
Fritto brings both together — working hours and absences in a single system.
What Fritto Can Do for Absence Management
All Absence Types in One Place
Whether vacation, sick day (with medical certificate), sick day (without medical certificate), or a 4-day week — all types of absences can be centrally recorded and managed in Fritto. Employees log their absences directly, managers approve with a single click. No back-and-forth emails, no forgotten requests.
Transparency Across the Entire Team
Managers and Department Managers can see at a glance who is absent and when — across departments and in real time. This makes vacation planning before a project kicks off much easier and prevents critical phases from being understaffed.
Accurate Reporting Without Manual Work
Absences are automatically included in reports. Want to check how many vacation days were taken in a quarter, or whether sick days in a team are accumulating unusually? Fritto gives you the answer directly — no export, no manual analysis.
Who Benefits Most?
HR and payroll teams no longer need to gather absence data from multiple sources. All information is available in Fritto and can be exported or processed via API whenever needed.
Project managers can plan resources realistically, accounting for vacation and sick days in advance — rather than finding out after the fact.
Employees no longer need a separate HR tool. Time tracking and absence logging happen in the same interface they already use every day.
Conclusion: Fewer Systems, Better Overview
Absence management doesn’t have to be a separate concern. Combining time tracking and absences in one place eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces errors, and keeps everyone up to date — on capacities, costs, and planning.
Fritto makes exactly that possible. Simple, transparent, and right where work is already being tracked.
