What is absence management software?

Absence management software helps you to efficiently manage and report on a wide variety of employee absences, including sickness and holidays, and the cost of absence. Absence tracking can be increasingly complex, covering both short-term and long-term sickness, and may require supporting documentation including a comprehensive absence management policy. You’ll also need a robust absence management system in place, such as Ciphr HR, that allows for easy absence management for both employers and employees.
