I use Activ Absence to help manage my staffs absence. I can send an email to my team letting them know that they do not need to come in if they're sick or out of the country. I can also manage my absences and send a reminder to my team if I'm going to be out myself. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't send a reminder to my team if I was out of the country. I would also like to be able to send an email to my team letting them know that I'm going to be out of the office for a few days. It is very helpful to help me manage my staffs absence. It is easy to use and I like how I can easily see who is out sick and who is going to be out for a few days.
