Absence Management

RotaOne makes absence management flexible, simple and clear, whatever sort of absence you need to manage.

RotaOne can manage any type of absence. Let it track your workforce’s absence time and keep your absence records fair, accurate and compliant. RotaOne handles unlimited absence types, each with minimum and maximum allowances, paid or unpaid.

Because absence sits alongside rotas, clockings and payroll, managers see the effect of every absence straight away.
