To manage absence causes in Cinode, you need the Admin role.
Managing absence correctly is essential for accurate project planning, resource allocation, and revenue calculations. By defining absence causes and registering planned absence, you can clearly see employee availability and understand how different types of absence affect ongoing and future projects.
Cinode is primarily designed for planned, longer-term absences, such as parental leave or holidays. Short-term or unplanned absence, such as illness, should be handled in your time reporting or payroll system rather than in Cinode.
Add and manage absence causes
Absence causes define the types of absence that can be registered for employees, for example vacation or parental leave. These causes are used consistently across the system when absence is added to a person.
Add a new absence cause
Go to Administration > Company.
Open the Absence tab.
Click + to add a new absence cause.
Enter a clear and descriptive name for the absence.
Click Save.
The new absence cause is now available when registering absence for employees.
Edit or remove an absence cause
Go to Administration > Company and open the Absence tab.
Locate the absence cause you want to change.
Click the three dots to the right of the absence.
Choose to edit or remove the absence cause.
Changes apply immediately. If an absence cause is already in use, review existing absence entries before removing it to avoid inconsistencies.
Work with absence on employees
Once absence causes are set up, you can register planned absence on employees to reflect their availability over time. This helps ensure that project staffing, capacity planning, and revenue calculations are based on realistic availability.
When adding absence:
Use it for planned periods such as holidays or parental leave.
Avoid registering short-term absence such as sickness.
Make sure start and end dates are correct to ensure accurate planning data.
Keeping absence information up to date improves forecasting and reduces the risk of overbooking or incorrect revenue estimates.
