With GFOS, your absence management is now digital: clearly map all of your employees' absences in the attendance and absence recording system. This includes vacation, sick leave, business trips and much more. Various interfaces and evaluation functions help you to process the data easily and speed up your administrative processes.
With the time tracking software from GFOS, you have the option of recording attendance and absences in detail within your company. This allows you to record working times to the minute for business trips, external workshops and more. The absence management software allows you to clearly manage absences such as illnesses and vacations.
Take a look at how practical it is: all information can also be used for other tasks, such as your employee scheduling. Use the data automatically to create shift plans so that you have clarity about availability and possible bottlenecks at an early stage. A clear approval process for all absence requests ensures that the responsible approvers are informed. Employees submit their requests themselves via the Employee employee self service portal.
Our various interfaces also enable easy integration into your existing ERP system landscape as well as certified communication with the GKV communication server for retrieving the electronic certificate of incapacity for work. This allows you and your teams to keep track of all attendances and absences.

With the absence management software from GFOS, you can individually define workflows and processes relating to your employees' vacation planning. This makes it easy to map different requirements:
For detailed evaluations, the software creates corresponding lists such as remaining leave, absence statistics and balances at the touch of a button. Your employees can conveniently submit leave requests digitally via the web/intranet or the app. These can then be approved or rejected by line managers. The digital availability of vacation plans gives teams a practical overview - manual wall planners in the office or error-prone Excel lists are now a thing of the past.
If there is an entitlement to additional vacation days, vacation days can be credited directly via our absence management software. The capping of remaining leave from any month can also be set with little effort, creating maximum flexibility and transparency for company-wide planning.
Our absence management software is a powerful tool that allows you to process data on sick notes digitally, post them in time tracking software and transfer them to the pay system in an integrated manner. This allows you to reduce your administrative workload, structure processes more efficiently and comply with regulations on continued remuneration. For additional clarity, various sickness cases can be mapped in the software. For example, it is possible to differentiate between "initial notification", "follow-up notification" or "accident at work" and to create separate evaluations for these cases.
There are two different ways to request the implementation of the electronic certificate of incapacity for work with GFOS:
Request via payroll accounting
On request: transfer of cancellation data of the original absences to payroll accounting
Reliable information on sickness-related absences can provide important insights into the workforce in your company and any potential for improving your working atmosphere. With GFOS absence management, you can check whether the objective data on sickness cases and days matches the subjective perception within the workforce. Determine after how many days or cases of sickness your line manager or the company health management team should be informed of an accumulation. In this way, steps can be taken at an early stage to promote the health of potentially at-risk employees. In this way, you can make the causal relationship between motivated and healthy employees as well as absences and fluctuation figures visible.
You also have the option of conducting employee surveys. This allows you to obtain important employee assessments with little effort. This feedback helps you to compare personal assessments of the working atmosphere with your data from the software. The GFOS portal provides a selection of predefined questionnaires based on occupational psychology findings. If required, you can of course also create your own surveys and forward them to your employees.
Exchange with the remuneration system
Vacation entitlements and remaining vacation balances can be exchanged with your payroll system as required - vacation recalculation and the transfer of vacation changes are also possible.
Connection to training planning
If your employees take part in an internal or external workshop, the bookings can be stored in the system as absences via the absence management software.
Integration with employee scheduling
If your skilled workers are out sick or have any other reason for absence, this information can be automatically considered for your shift planning in order to easily make changes to shift or duty schedules.

The electronic certificate of incapacity for work is a digital confirmation of an employee's incapacity for work. Instead of a traditional paper certificate, the electronic certificate of incapacity for work is created and transmitted electronically. Its purpose is to document the course of an illness and it facilitates interaction between employees, employers and the health insurance company. The electronic certificate of incapacity for work is processed either by the remuneration system or by the time tracking software used. However, patients must still inform the employing company about the case of illness.
