Vacation, sickness & holidays

Vacation, sickness and holidays feed into target hours, overtime and remaining vacation. Here is how to maintain them.

Entering vacation

Under More → Vacation overview tap + (“Add vacation”), choose the employer and enter From and To. A quicker way is New → Add vacation. A vacation entry can be changed via Edit vacation and deleted.

If a shift is already entered on a day of the period, the app warns you (“Shifts already entered”) because vacation and shift would count twice; you can remove the entries with Delete entries and save.
If the period overlaps existing vacation of the same employer, the app points it out (“Vacation period overlaps”).
The next vacation appears on the home screen.

Half vacation days

With the Half vacation day switch, the entry counts only half a day against your vacation entitlement – for working half the day and taking the other half off. It appears as “Vacation (½ day)”.

Remaining vacation, carry-over and expiry

You set the entitlement in the employer under Vacation days per year. Unused days are carried over to the following year automatically; the remaining leave is shown on the home screen.

Remaining vacation expires – when switched on, unused vacation from last year expires on the date you set (Day and Month, e.g. 31 March). Off (default): remaining vacation is kept indefinitely.
While expiry is active, the home screen warns you in good time, at least two months before the date (“x vacation days left from last year — expire on …”).
Vacation counter follows working days – on: a vacation day only counts against the allowance on working days. Off: you choose separate weekdays for the vacation deduction.

Sickness

Record sick days with New → Report sick (date) or with the Sick mark in an entry. They do not reduce the hours worked. The Sick days row of the employer card counts them per month.

Holidays

The app calculates public holidays automatically for Germany (all 16 federal states), Austria (9 states) and Switzerland (26 cantons). You set Country / region under More → Profile.

You reach the Holidays overview under More → Holidays or in the plan via the Holidays switch. It lists the holidays of the year.
Calculated holidays have a switch to deactivate them; a deactivated holiday no longer counts as a holiday anywhere, including the vacation allowance.

Your own holidays

With the + in the holiday overview, Add manual holiday marks a day as a holiday – for example company vacation. You enter a Date and a Name. Manual holidays are always active; to delete one (“Delete manual holiday”), press and hold the entry.
