Also known as Leave Requests or Vacation Approval, Out of Office Calendar is about letting people and processes know when they can depend on people being in the office. It’s also about managers and human resources having a real-time, up to date situation of employees’ planned vacations and other types of time off. Last but not least, it’s about people having insight on their vacations days balance when planning their next holiday.
Whatever process that involves an approval is completely blocked or heavily delayed if the approver is out of office. With Out of Office Calendar, that’s no longer the case, as availability information for users is centrally available for both people and processes to use.
