Absence replaces your spreadsheet with a faster way to log unplanned absences against the NES 10-day allowance, run return-to-work conversations on time, and surface the patterns that quietly drain engagement.

It's also the one most SMBs in Australia ignore. Spreadsheets get out of date. Return-to-work conversations slip. The same patterns repeat. And the people you can't afford to lose start checking out.
Estimated annual cost of absenteeism to the Australian economy. ³
Leading early-warning sign of voluntary attrition. UPA patterns shift months before someone hands in their notice — visible in the data, if you're watching. ⁴
Salary cost to replace a single mid-level employee who decides to leave. ⁵
"We had three Monday-only absences from the same person across two months — none of us spotted it. By the time we did, they'd already accepted another job. We won't make that mistake again."
No bloated HR suite. No 90-day implementation. Absence does the parts of absence management that actually move the needle.
A searchable employee dropdown, today's date pre-filled, multi-day ranges, and a reason category. From phone call to logged record in under 30 seconds.
Every UPA gets a return-to-work tickbox. The dashboard surfaces who's pending. One click marks RTW done and any open follow-up — with notes attached for the record.
Day-of-week heatmaps, % of NES 10-day allowance used, reason trends, per team-leader filters. The recurring Monday absence stops being invisible.
Designed with operations managers and team leaders, not for HR audits. Every feature earns its place.
Pick a start and end date. Weekends are skipped by default. One UPA submission, five clean records.
Pending RTWs surface on the dashboard with inline tick + notes. Don't lose track of the second conversation.
Per-employee weekday heatmaps. The recurring Monday or Friday becomes obvious at a glance.
Defaults to the NES 10-day allowance and pro-rates by hire date for new starters and part-timers. Set any custom allowance to match your policy.
Mental health, bereavement, harassment — flag the conversation and the notes are masked from non-admin views and exports.
Assign each employee to a reporting team leader. Filter every report and queue by team in one click.
Every entry is timestamped with who logged it. CSV export for payroll, board reports or Fair Work record-keeping, with sensitive notes redacted for non-admins.
Admins see everything. Team Leaders log UPAs and run reports. Built-in CSRF, password hashing, secure session cookies.
Import your employee list from your existing spreadsheet. Start logging the same day. No consultants, no implementation fee.
A one-page script aligned to Fair Work guidance, sample questions, and three real-world examples from Australian SMB managers. Free PDF, no fluff.
